I use restic. For local backups, Timeshift.

I wouldn't feel bad if the money was going to the developer, but it's going to reddit for a cut-down API with no NSFW. No thanks.

Business Insider reports on "Reddit's falling IPO valuation" already.

Good.

Backups can and should be encrypted.

I did that, but not "fuck u/spez" because that might get the comment deleted altogether making the edit meaningless. Instead I edited to say the comments been deleted in protest against the API changes.

All of the r/ImaginaryNetwork subs. Plus r/DataHoarder, r/Selfhosted

I just checked all and popular, the top posts are all about the blackout. It did feel a bit empty, which is good.

I already edited my reddit submissions to something along the lines of "this has been deleted in protest against API..." using PowerDeleteSuite. Some of my past comments has useful information in them and people might end up there via google. I'm taking my data with me when I walk out.
