It actually made searching for solutions considerably worse. It was kind of a shitty bandwagon to sit on, would have made far more sense to back all of those posts up in an easy to index place. It would have actually made sense, as it would have made a new repository of knowledge.
My thoughts exactly. If it’s making finding solutions to problems worse for the end user, that’s obviously bad for the end user, but it also means it’s affecting the reputation of the site in some meaningful way- even if it’s as simple as inconveniencing a guy looking for an answer
The issue with what you did is that your data or info will get eventually replicated, but it has negligible chances of ending up on a site you deem worthy with the reddit debacle in mind.
Social sites come and go. Information is somewhat more important and valuable.
That is why most of what was done “aganist” reddit was a pretty rash decision. Congrats, you fucked (or at least tried) over reddit and now this info will eventually become available on the next shitty platform in line.
Not like you need traction on lemmy because it is full of barely alive subs even now. Sure, just get rid of info out of personal anger towards a platform…

That is a price that i am willing to pay. I don’t want Reddit to be making ad-revenue on all this info when they more or less highjacked it like that
