Reddit habit is hard to break. (lemmy.ml)

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

For anything after June 30, yes, although if you're really being adversarial you could try and scrape Reddit. Everything that's already on Reddit, though? That has been archived in other places. I don't know about you, but I semi-regularly need to look at a post a few years old.

The advantage would be that it would be totally seamless. If you wanted to see me speculating about underwater aliens making non-metallic electronics you could just go to [email protected] and it would be like anything else on here.

I wonder how many of us we need to get a community going.
