Like it or not, years of insight, experience and expertise live in Reddit threads. But accessing some of them just got harder.

This is going to the biggest blow to me tbh. So many nuanced problems have been found on Reddit. Hoping some of the data can be transferred elsewhere vs completely deleted but it isn’t looking that way.
Most of the data has been preserved via the Pushshift data dump/archive. They seem to end at February 2023, and the entire archive (including the separate 2023-01 and 2023-02 archives) is >2TB with zstd compression so it’s not exactly easy to search unless you have a few terabytes to spare. Luckily, much of the data still seems to exist.
