I mean it sucks for users but it’s exactly what we object to: Reddit thinking it can treat us however they want and keep the only thing that brings value to their site. Our comments.
It sucks but I don’t see why I should let them keep using it after they acted like complete idiots.
I’ll keep mine up until June 30, if they come to their sense till then they’ll stay and I might join back. Otherwise my posts from the last 8 years will be gone.
To be fair, you can also try to copy paste all important/useful comment and reupload it on Lemmy, idk if that’s practical though, since I rarely post on reddit anyway.
Depends on how search engines handle a federated platform like Lemmy. Only the original post on the original instance is indexed? Indexing all instances for every post they can reach each? Not indexing federated platforms at all?
Its not a solution that I at least trust enough yet, unless I actually find how these are handled. Myself being new to this platform of course makes me not know these details.
But its mostly contributing to the hurting of users, not Reddit. Imagine if a major contributor to Stack Exchange/Stack Overflow would delete everything they have posted, it would be a massive loss of extremely important information that is currently only kept there.
Its the same for Reddit outside of casual discussion.
If you are on support subreddits, this is a massively terrible idea. Please, delete everything BUT your useful responses/questions

I suppose, but it’s better than having those informations completely lost forever
