Even if the Fediverse catches on and that Reddit goes down the way of Digg, Reddit will still remain a goldmine of information for years.
Pretty sure there is an option for people to delete their data when they delete their accounts though. I think a fair bit of info will be disappearing soon
Which is really sad when you think about it. It's a blow to our collective knowledge.
This is my dilemma. Deleting the data may prevent reddit from profiting off of it, sure, but then where does the knowledge and very specific case tech support of the past half a decade go? Would appreciate all those posts being mass edited and deleted to at least be preserved on the wayback machine.
