While as a user it sucks that is exactly the reasons people do it. It takes the value away from reddit, if the content that users want to see it not there people will not go there.
What I find the best compromise is users that take their comments they had on reddit and post them again as it's own post to lemmy with the context needed. While not perfect the information is at least not lost completely and a google search in the future might actually bring someone to a lemmy instance instead of to a corporation like reddit. But that is obviously a lot of work to do, especially if you have lot of helpful comments on reddit.
You know how I joined reddit? None of the reasons everyone else might have, it just looked like a cool place. No one uses it where I live, except a few hundred people.
That being said, this was after years and years of me leeching off of comments on reddit. So, I thought I'd give the community something back... it's only fair. I come from the forum scene, that's how forums work. And let's be honest, no matter how much we started hating a place, we never did this back in the day. Why? The info shared in those posts is probably more valuable than whatever we're trying to achieve by doing this.
Of course, it's your choice, your account. I'm just saying that I think it's selfish and mean and that I would never do it. The free flow of info is what keeps the net going. You start tempering with that and you're just fueling more users into mass media (if everyone did this, users can't find any info about anything they're troubleshooting and just return to doomscrolling on FB/IG/Twitter).
I agree, it seems very petty to me. If you don't like the direction just leave, what's the point of trying to burn it down? Especially given how much we all got out of it throughout the golden years. I say just mourn and move on.
Exactly. Just move on.
