What are your thoughts on spinning up a fediverse instance with archived reddit posts? (kbin.social)

It would be a good way to fill the fediverse with useful data.

Of course, there could be legal implications, technical issues (attribution, etc), ethical dilemmas, etc.

I still think this should be discussed at least. The data is public, and dumps of reddit can be found pretty easily.

So what are your thoughts on the matter?

My thought is that this knowledge needs to be archived and available, to prevent it from being taken hostage by a platform.

If it becomes a a good replacement for a site:reddit.com search, then even better, I’ve seen many users that are quite distressed by this. It’s great for the protest and highlights a “vulnerability” in our knowledge banks
