I second this. For a while, adding “reddit” to every google search gives generally better results. Now all this information will become hidden in unsearchable places.
no it’s not, because now you just can’t really find this kind of information unless you know which discord server you have to join. STOP USING DISCORD AS A WIKI
Also what happens when a ton of users delete their content, as I just did yesterday. I participated in quite a bit of tech support chat on reddit, and now all of that is gone.
the problem we’re talking about is that that won’t be possible if communities will move to platforms that require creating an account in order to access.

Which is a good case against the centralization of information.
I have been way to comfortable just using Reddit as my source of information with the usage of 3rd party applications.
What if Reddit puts the subreddits behind a paywall?
What if Reddit is gonna demand that every subreddit generates an x percentage revenue just to exist?
What Reddit has shown with their actions is that they are gonna put monetization of their userbase first and user experience somewhere in 10th.
The possibilities to screw the users in regards of the information they consume is…worrying.
It will end up the same as 9gag did. Some weird facebook/instagram/tik tok clone used for people who have an attention span of 60 seconds.

Stop using Discord.

I think Google will still be able to index the web pages with the info on them (they may never have been using the API at all).
Have you heard something different to this?
If so I’m very keen to read more.
