Can we start funding Archive.org to start scraping reddit like it did for 30% of Geocities or whatever because Reddit this kills the Reddit. Everything that matters is scattered to the winds already like when they killed Oink or The Silk Road or MySpace or AOL or whatever. Seriously though. Reddit is a trove. We should be making a directed effort to archive it as completely as we can. It is kind of their property. I guess. Just as much as the four sites left on the internet are largely populated with screen shots from the other sites... but yeah. I do not have the time to spearhead this, but I can set up a repo and push out an idea and I'd gladly dump some cash into Archive.org and I think a lot of other people would to.

I really really think if that's isn't already happening it should. The conversations on that platform are our cultural heritage and this scumbag shit can suck my fucking dick. Die in a fire quarterly capital sleep under a painting of a lion dickwheels. Gut me for my past again. I dare you.

I believe they started archiving reddit stuff in 2021, in reaction to a different PR disaster. There was definitely a huge push to archive more and faster in the last month though.

Fuck yes. Thank you. I've avoided checkin in because as you might be able to tell this is personal. I have never seen Archive Team before. I am so ready to get involved and put my body and resources against the wheel. FUCK THIS SHIT.
