Actually, I found archiveteam’s reddit dump. I think we can re-host this on activitypub, as a form of read-only, easy to browse archive.
The data is on archive.org is marked non-downloadable to limit traffic. I emailed archive.org requesting one of the 10GB pieces to experiment with. Fingers crossed
The other issue is that Reddit hosts a ton of illegal content including stuff that could possibly be CP and bestiality, along with full service sex work, drug dealing, and shoplifting/stealing Reddits. Somehow the laws that took down Backpage and Craigslist personals left Reddit pretty much unscathed.
Spez himself was the moderator for r/jailbait. A large function of Reddit is to data mine people and then (I speculate) blackmail them later for this illegal/adult/unrevealed content if they turn out to be influential. This is also why Reddit is so extremely picky about their porn subs and who (in terms of adult Content Creators) they allow to post/interact with users, and why they no longer have mod transparency.
And before anyone starts calling me too crazy, let me add one more crazy conspiracy to the pile- the conspiracy that Ghilisaine Maxwell was a regular poster to the News subreddits. Sorry to link to this sub, but this does have the tldr of this conspiracy and links etc fornthe curious. In general r/conspiracy is a rightwing shithole ofc.

Epstein was a fraudster who, once he was caught, needed money. He got it from Les Wexler (and maybe org crime?) who gave him a house outfitted with cameras. Epstein wasn’t a trafficker as his primary purpose. He was getting blackmail.

I heard that they gave links when you emailed them but nah
Doing it all at once could be tough, but
one niche sub at a time maybe?
