Honestly - what happens to all the information on Reddit if this actually happens? DPReview just recently announced they were shutting down (thanks, Amazon) and the first question was - what happens to all the valuable information and knowledge in the forums? There was a serious wave of panic in the photography community at the potential loss of all that information, and it was too much for archive.org to reliably get. I wonder what the contingency plan for Reddit would be at this point.

All the more reason in my eyes to support the fediverse at this point - archiving a single instance isn’t going to be as terrifying as a decade-plus monolith forum.
