Great of the mods to unilaterally decide for tens of thousands of users to lock and make inaccessible years and years of conversation. I'm sorry your fefes are hurt, but this "we had to destroy the village to save it" is some third-grade tantrum throwing bullshit.
I mean, I'm not the one running around and breaking things, but ok.
You've just discovered the main problem with centralized platforms like Reddit, Discord, Twitter. The only thing stopping the mods from making a complete archive of the old platform is the Big Tech owners of Reddit. These corporate interests own all your posts, memes, and DMs, forever.
With federated platforms, the community leadership can easily backup, archive, or transfer everything whenever they like. That's the power of ownership.
Not only that, but copies of everything now exist on every single instance that's federated with startrek.website, so its potentially recoverable should something catastrophic happen.
And that's fine. The mods, or whomever, have every right to go off and form another community, and the participants have every right to follow. The mods DON'T have the right to make the decision for me, restrict the content that I posted to a site they do not own, or otherwise interfere with my right to enjoy the archival content that they did not create. Hopefully the Reddit ownership will force the afflicted communities open sooner rather than later and let us each decide individually, rather than be subject to the whims of some babies that think an entity doesn't have the right to manage it's own tech.
No offense but they do have the right, just because you don't like it doesn't mean they don't have the right. Just like reddit admins have the right to open all the closed subs if they want.
Source?

First time moving website?
Ah yes, because moving to a platform free from profiteering owners, an objective improvement to the community, is clearly just because fefes were hurt...
Sorry - the downvotes have made me realize that "we had to destroy the village to save it" isn't third-grade bullshit, it's kindergarten bullshit. But please, play on, those, like, 5 of you who decided that it was your call to dump years of posts into oblivion because the platform that supported your conversation for years decided they'd had enough of freeloading.
Lmao, you suck dude.
How do you not understand that reddit is a symbiotic relationship between users / moderators - who generate and moderate ALL of the content for the site - and the reddit workers and admins who host it? Without one the other can't exist. Reddit is 100% freeloading off of users' content just as much as users & moderators are "freeloading" off of the ability to access the content through the API.
Reddit ownership (and you) have apparently chosen to either forget that, or ignore it.
