It’s a friendly transaction between users purely out of the desire to help, and leaving it available to those who have the same question.

Further, it’s a transaction that Reddit facilitated out of their own pocket. I think people are being extremely petty about it. It’s best to just mourn and move on, we can still appreciate the golden years that Reddit gave us.

I agree, it seems very petty to me. If you don’t like the direction just leave, what’s the point of trying to burn it down? Especially given how much we all got out of it throughout the golden years. I say just mourn and move on.

You pointed out all the extra complexities. Visiting multiple websites, and making a decision, and understanding what the decision means. Those are the complexities, nobody is saying they are big but even you recognize they exist.

Mainstream is also what killed Reddit, better to have a “big enough to be good” community. I almost appreciate that the barrier of entry is slightly higher.

Thanks. To clarify, my server would have to do this? I don’t run my own server, I just joined a fairly small one (I didn’t know it would matter).

If I were implementing this nefarious Reddit I probably wouldn’t have edits wipe out the original Tatars data. It’s certainly not necessary to implement edits that way.
