Meanwhile the AI trainers get all the deleted content by buying direct from Reddit Inc., so this kind of thing only hinders human readers.

    As long as it devalues reddit in the process, its worth it

    1. We're on an alternative right now, if something is valuable you can repost it somewhere
    2. (opinion) It's better that someone can't find an answer than to have them find it on reddit and continuing to give value to its evil overlords.

    1. Lemmy is not an actual alternative to reddit. There's fuck-all here unless you like Star Trek, center-left political memes, doomscrolling American politics, or Linux. Sports, gardening, Magic the Gathering, they're all ghost towns. Even the generic gaming community gets like one post per day with ~6 comments (god forbid you want discussion about a specific game). The fediverse does not have the critical mass to support people that are not specifically interested in the fediverse.

    2. (opinion) Burning books is never the right answer.

    If we're talking about making sure people can still find the solution you found to some obscure tech problem, all that matters is that it's indexed and findable on a search engine, not how many comments it has

    The deleted comment in this screenshot was 8 years old. What are the odds that comments on the Fediverse will still be around in 8 years, outside the databases of AI training companies of course?
