  • I did it but left a few select support subreddits out of it, I just checked (thanks to you, thanks btw) and it seems my shit is still deleted, though I found out there’s at least one subreddit that logged comments as posts citing the usernames they’re from, seemingly for scraping and data aggregation purposes, since they’re without any context other than the title post and subreddit they’re from.

    Btw I’m certain there are many backups existing somewhere, maybe not public accessible but there must be



  • Nah, because no alternative can be a complete replacement and if it’s not the exact same experience, people aren’t willing to put that tiniest bit of effort.

    Again, look at Reddit as an example, alternatives exist, yet none of them are the exact same because there’s not a comparable size, and because of that people will just pull down their pants and begrudgingly accept reddit’s problems.

    It’s just like Reddit, a few of us left but that didn’t change anything, everyone’s still using it and they’re not stopping any time soon.

    Even if not abandoning the platform, it would only take a decent portion of the users reducing their use of the platform for them to feel a punishment of some sort, but nobody’s really willing to do anything other than complain and automatically dismiss any suggestion of an alternative.
