I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it’s crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.
Unfortunately now we’re going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like “TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023” to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.
the /r/datahoarder (!datahoarder@lemmy.ml - not much activity here yet, might be some on other instances not yet synced in) community have been hard at it as usual, but there is so much to backup, and they are relying on the API to do it in most cases. we can go back to scraping if needed.
