Reddit removes years of chat and message archives from users’ accounts::undefined
This is why you don’t use websites as cloud storage. They are not under any obligation to keep your content.
I’m blown away by how it seems Reddit makes the wrong decision all the time.

It’ll blow over sooner if we do it while they’re still mad instead of making them mad again.
Bad move. Should have waited until people had cooled down from being mad. Now they’re mad for more than one reason, which makes them more likely to leave.
That conspiracy theory that Twitter and Reddit are being killed deliberately in order to stifle the public’s ability to organize mass movements during the lead up to the 2024 election is looking plausiblier and plausiblier. (It’s a perfectly cromulent word, shut up!)

Remember when people were critical of Lemmy because an instance admin could shut down and you’d lose all your account history…
There’s also a guy who says that Lemmy was created by a communist.
Well, this time “at least it’s not spez” works even if it’s a fallacy.
Weren’t they a tankie? I’ve heard about it a couple of times on Reddit before joining the fediverse but I don’t have proofs myself.
They are yes. They’re also admins of the oldest lemmy instances, lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml (ml stands for “Marxist-Leninist”).
Agreed… I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter so I don’t give a shit, though.
Finally, somebody says the obvious.
ML stands for Machine Learning and just became a popular domain for open source apps.
Yeah, but that’s not why lemmygrad chose to use ml lol
But we were talking about lemmy.ml too
Yeah same thing, they were created by the same people
Smells like desperately trying to save on storage costs.

For god’s sake. Time to request data.
