A memorial for the front page of the internet. If you have left reddit or is considering leaving then this community is for you.

There’s also a blog documenting the rise and fall of reddit as well as news and thoughts on the whole issue.

It serves as an archive for posts and topics in case reddit decides to delete anti-reddit posts within its platform.

An anticapitalist tech blog. Embrace the technology that liberates us. Smash that which does not.

i personally think the value of the comments are worth leaving for people to find later even if Reddit does use them in an underhanded way.
i recognize this may not be popular.

You are entitled to your opinion.

Yup. Reddit gives zero fucks about any form or protest or the degredation of the quality of content. They already have the metric the traffic originally created.

The only people negatively impacted are the people trying to find information that are pushed there by search engines when trying to find stuff.

As someone else brilliantly pointed out, leaving the comments hurts Reddit more than delete/edit.

Deleting/editing comments only hides the posts from the public. Reddit has the original posts, is ignoring all edits made to posts, and selling that original data.
