In the last 3 days I've been paying attention to r/all, expecting several posts about it and...

Yeah

Wasn't expecting the website to literally shut down nor to monopolize r/all, because 3rd party users are the minority, but I hoped for more than whatever this was.

At least there's a silver lining, I discovered new alternatives that have healthier communities

The torrent dumps they are referring to are probably the pushshift dumps which can be found on here but they're a good bit complicated to use efficiently and are mostly text/link dumps only. I'd love to know if there are other torrents though which offer more readability or similar.

edit: also the filesizes are HUGE unpacked. The sizes shown on the page are the COMPRESSED sizes and I haven't yet tried unpacking a file newer than 2009.
