The mass exodus of Twitter and Reddit is like the burning of Alexandria, digital.
How many tutorials or sourced synopsis of events or other long form written media created by volunteers was lost to all of this? Its insanity.
That's why I use the archive.org extension, it archives every site I visit when is has not been archived in the last 7 days. So when a website goes you can still find it with the waybackmachine. The best part is the extension will also automatically redirect to the most recent backup when you click on a dead link.
Sorry for the bad English.
