They do archive sites against the owners wishes when they consider it an important site for public archiving, like some news sites. They are in no obligation to delete the archives and hope they don’t.
Given that the Internet Archive is the de facto standard way to cite material as seen on a given date — they’re a trustworthy party that will probably persist for a long time — that’s going to make it harder to cite content on Reddit.

Just more vindication for my ditching that trash heap of a platform. YT is probably going to be the next platform I ditch as they’re going full Reddit now.
It’s a matter of time before third-party YT front-ends start getting throttled or outright blocked like third-party Reddit front-ends.
OK, I stopped posting on Reddit but left my account and comments in place because I considered them part of the public record. If Reddit is taking that record private, it’s time for me to start removing my content from the platform.
Does anyone know if historical Reddit content will remain in IA? If not, I’m going to have to back up years of content somewhere else.

Damn you Spez.
As long as the previous collections of archives are still intact. We probably don’t need all of their new spam posts in the wayback machine anyway
It is my understanding that if you block the wayback machine from indexing your site it will also delist the history as well.

fuck spez
fucking reddit…
I am new to Lemmy, is there a fuckreddit sub?
Yes
Yes.
Hi welcome to Lemmy, we hate reddit here.
If you seek a pleasant public forum, look about you.
Why would you want to spend more time thinking about a dead site?
I just like to laugh at things I dislike. And I also like to see how bad it’s getting. Iwas in the undelete sub and it was amazing.

This is a great site to search for communities. Doesnt seem like there is one.

In a way, the entire lemmy community is the fuckreddit sub
Oh no, someone might not be paying them for their user generated content (!)
To be fair, it’s probably best that history forgets this period of the web…
and thus it repeats

Time to just ignore them and scrape it anyways
