A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

DDG only recommending older Reddit answers as a result of the Google deal may be a net positive for it then.

Occasionally when I'm searching for something, I'll check out some Reddit links and honestly it's a crapshoot as to whether half of the comments have been deleted or not. Useful search results are getting to be a pain to come by.

It is rough isn't it? It used to be that you'd get the forum style answer, now most of the people who wrote those deleted their accounts.

Pre-2019 searches that resulted in deleted comments happened, but rarely. Post Exodus it is now very flippant on the results you'll get.

Maybe those comments are still up in Internet Archive.
