I mourn what it was, yes.

There was a recent comment I read about how it’s become this incredible resource for the most obscure tech issues and they were reluctant to delete their posts and accounts because they’d receive random messages of thanks years after a tech resource post was made.

And it’s true. Reddit has become an invaluable resource for these kinds of things. Not only that, but it’s one of the few places that exists on the web where cohesive and coherent discussions even exist. It was always the community and discussion that made reddit great and they want to turn it into yet another swipebait infested serotonin sponge. I sincerely hope lemmy can take its place, but there are going to be some major growing pains if we get big influx of “redfugees.”

It almost makes me think that when something becomes such an enormous and invaluable public resource, there should be a legal compulsion to archive it before doing anything that will compromise its accessibility.___

Particularly in the way that lemmy isn’t finance bro bullshit

It’s a banana, Michael, what can it cost, $10?

Lemonade being fucking delicious isn’t reason enough?

If the UK calls those biscuits, what do you call savoury bread-like things such as these?

“Spam” reeks of weak horseshit justification for reddit’s actions here. Lots of people x-post all sorts of things all the time. They were itching for a legitimate-sounding reason to ban you and they just reached for the first thing they could find using the loosest possible definition.
