That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.

    The only thing that makes me sad is we cannot take the years of knowledge stored in reddit with us. Some of those co tributors who posted valuable contributions are not active anymor or some has quietly passed away irl.

    If reddit decides to wall their site, unviewable to non paid subscribers, then it will be like an end of a small scale civilization where poeple go back to basic living,

    I hope in time we can rebuild the same kind of knowledge here.

      For me, the loss of AskHistorians was/is/will be the worst. There’s so just much important knowledge there, they’ve changed how I see the world (and I assume that’s true for others as well). I really hope they figure out a way to save some of that, but it won’t be surprising if it just fades away… Just heart breaking.

      I hope we can rebuild some things here, but AskHistorians definitely felt special.

      All the trouble shooting help on the sysadmin board…like tears in the rain. I guess chatgpt stole learned from the posts so until that gets completely ruined by being trained to sell us things instead of just providing the information we need, we got some of it saved.
