That's not the point... it was eight there... right there, no need to dig deeper... and it wasn't like a 30GB bluray rip went missing, it was just a few lines of text, a few very valuable lines of text... but no, some people thought it's more imoortant to protest than the freedom of information 😒... info that they once shared BTW, no one forced them to do it, but no, some of the protesters thought it was a good idea yo delete all of the content and their accounts... please explain how this is a good idea.

I deleted 14 years of reddit comments and submissions. Years. That's a huge investment of time and energy. When reddit made it crystal clear that they see users as a replaceable commodity that they can use and abuse with impunity many of us decided to call them on it. Note how I did not say "call their bluff", neither they nor us were bluffing. Now because reddit made poor choices we've got people such as yourself blaming us for not putting up with abuse from a narcissistic asshole named Steve Huffman. Well I'm here to tell you that if you can't understand what happened or don't care then you can go to hell too. When I got that data I linked to set up I was going to come back and give you what you're looking for but now you can have this instead: 🖕 Do it your goddamn self.
