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.
I have such mixed feelings about all of this. I get why, stick it to Reddit and show them we have the control, but we just burn ourselves doing it. Kinda sucks all the way around.
The tutorials and guides on reddit are invariably reposts from somewhere else. There will be the occasional gem that is nowhere to be found but on balance I’d say reddit could vanish and it wouldn’t matter in the long run.
