A screenshot of two comments on reddit.

The first comment is by a deleted user and the comment has been removed. The second comment is a reply to the deleted comment and it says: “That solved it. Thanks!”

    Why does one single corporation get sole ownership of your knowledge?

    It’s not difficult to download and post elsewhere.

    Your knowledge belongs to you, you have the right to take it with you when you leave.

    Of course you have the right to be lazy and not do that. Or to say I am fine with leaving it.

    But don’t try and belittle minimize the efforts of those who are trying to make a stand by acting like they are doing something wrong (like make the world smaller). That type of thinking is counter intuitive to any movement.

      It’s not difficult to download what you have contributed to Reddit and to post elsewhere.

      If you believe that what you’ve learned is of value you have to both consider what you’re saying and who can see it. If it’s valuable Reddit is far more discoverable than a corner of the internet. It’s not a matter necessarily of being “lazy”, it’s weighing the medium with the message.

      It’s not difficult to download what you have contributed to Reddit and to post somewhere.

      It’s not easy either. Reddit sometimes has a particular set of posts that solve queries that are not even answered in stack overflow.

      Reddit may have did a massive asshole move, but deleting those things might make things difficult only for people who seek the knowledge, not reddit.
