On the one hand I lean into a hard disagree with this idea. I get wanting to protect ones privacy but on the other hand that's so much information being purged that could help others. I use Google to search reddit for my problems everyday and id be so heartbroken to not be able to do that anymore.

My man, that's exactly why you should do it. To inflict as much pain as possible on Reddit, especially if it disrupts them and others from problem solving. I too have used Reddit a great deal to solve issues. I recognise what you're saying, but somethings gotta give my friend. Reddit is a evil coporation that's feeding it's users to the wolves. Completely sabotaging their website and transfering here is in my opinion, the way forward. It's 10 steps backwards, in orders to make 100 steps forward.

Why not move your content here? Keeping it on reddit only really helps reddit in the long run, not its users.

There was an internet before reddit, and there will still be an internet after reddit. If everyone is avoiding to making a move, absolutely nothing will change.

Many new people are looking for new content here, so this is also the perfect time to start adding that valuable information to more than one place. This "blackout" is FAR from the only possible downfall of using reddit as a main source of information. Hypothetically, one day reddit could get shut down for legal issues, they could sell everything to someone who destroys it, they could decide to openly sell ALL user data on a whim, and more. Neither you nor I could stop those things if they happened. I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of all of that information disappearing altogether suddenly. At least with this, we have a chance of saving that information beyond what reddit specifically allows.
