Honestly I think there should be a bigger effort to preserve information from subreddits either indefinitely going dark or permanently going down. I’ve seen some go into a psuedo “archive mode”. But given the changes on the site most likely it’ll be undone, mods removed, and the subreddits restarted under new pro-reddit guidance. It’d be nice if we could have a way to “strip” subreddits/accounts of it’s information for storage. I’m not sure what the best way of going about it is, but when half of the questions you ask google are best answered by reddit it’d be nice to see this be address sooner rather than later, and google/reddit ain’t gonna be helping us anytime soon. That or we wait for other communities to grow to the size able to fill the same roll, such as lemmy. But TBH, even lemmy can have a community shut down and lose all it’s information. This is a big problem that the solution will most likely only be able to come from the open source community at large… or I’m being idealistic lol
