The problem is that there is a lot of great crowd-sourced knowledge on Reddit on everything from programming to which microwave oven I should buy. It's going to take time to replace that, if it can be done.

It can be done, it just won't be done while Reddit is up. Eventually it will go away and that knowledge will have to be rediscovered and reposted elsewhere.

Good point! I hope that happens!

I kind of want all the users to wipe their comments and burn it down like the library of Alexandria. Then spez can't mine it for AI.

I hate losing the window into humanity, but it would be insanely satisfying to watch the fire burn.

if you do this just remember to redact your comments and posts FIRST and do it only while the subs are live tomorrow not dark right not. read a different post that thishas something to do with what reddit keep and can use.
