Reddit is not the entirety nor even a partial majority of the world’s knowledge. Just because you keep choosing to check that site doesn’t mean that it only would be there.
You have been brainwashed dude. Idk how else to put it.
I still get there through search engines from time to time. Some niche topics don’t have many communities covering it.
The absurdest one is the Open Source game Pixel Dungeon and it’s fork. The wiki that documents a lot of item and skill behavior is on Fandom (content has a good license and there are mirrors, but meh). The community moved to Lemmy, but a lot of important questions were only answered on Reddit. The content doesn’t move, only the users. And if the question is already answered on Reddit it’s actually less likely that it will also be asked here.
Sounds like a game who doesn’t document well, why should we encourage each other to continue using what isn’t working in favor of consistency and consistency sake alone when there’s a plethora of other and better options available.
I agree it sucks, but it’s not permanent in the slightest. It’s not information or answers only retrievable from Reddit. As much as that might have been your experience, it’s not the only experience out there nor is it in any way a majority.
Short run: yes people will have to look elsewhere for answers.
Like it or not we all spent years adding a small chunk of the world’s knowledge to Reddit. I was fine with that at the time.
That knowledge hasn’t moved, and likely won’t. Past Reddit isn’t going away any time soon. I’m content with getting future knowledge to a better place rather than moving the old knowledge.
Also, try not to be a dick. Not everyone who disagrees with you has been “brainwashed”.
I’m not a dick for warning someone. I wasnt calling names. I legitimately think they have been conditioned to think that somehow we are at a loss of knowledge because the knowledge is no longer written at one place.
Also, cool I like and agree with most of these other points you’re bringing up that were never originally commented on by me or the other commented in this thread.
Nobody is worse off because some removed THEIR OWN CONTENT from the site and I’m not gonna let some Joe blow try and say that anyone is worse off for moving out of a shitty neighborhood because they made really good tacos for the neighbors

That’s on who?
