I see this as a big issue for content going forward. I get that reddit is one single point of failure but I wonder how you can keep knowledge in a static state when most instances lose money and it's a hobby. What happens when the owner grows tired.
How often do you revisit forum posts you made in 2007? Some content doesn't need to be preserved
It's not about visiting a forum post I made in 2007. It's about visiting a forum post about an obscure issue that someone solved in 2007.
It would certainly be nice to replace stack overflow with a good Lemmy instance, but have the data guaranteed to remain around.
