What are your thoughts on spinning up a fediverse instance with archived reddit posts? (kbin.social)

It would be a good way to fill the fediverse with useful data.

Of course, there could be legal implications, technical issues (attribution, etc), ethical dilemmas, etc.

I still think this should be discussed at least. The data is public, and dumps of reddit can be found pretty easily.

So what are your thoughts on the matter?

I've seen the suggestion of sorting your own Reddit posts by top, then copying them into a text file to distribute to other places. Can't be against any law to reuse your own stuff.

Of course if you've deleted your posts and account that may not be poss....oh wait, thanks for bringing all the deleted stuff back, Steve. Asshole.

What's this about bringing deleted stuff back?

There’s some reports about content deleted by users being resurrected without consent. This is why I sent a GDPR request to delete all my content even after deleting everything. I will definitely sue them if they fail to comply.
