I use lnav for this, it works very well and the search and filtering etc are great.

I first saw her post https://catvalente.substack.com/p/stop-talking-to-each-other-and-start linked from the Cory Doctrow “enshittification” piece. It is very well written and worth a read for anyone who grew up with the old internet.

Can users vote out the CEO?

By when kagi is not available, do you mean it goes down or you run into quota limits? I’ve been thinking of giving it a go.

That is a fair point.

Personally in an ideal world, I would like to export all of my data from reddit before leaving, and then if later someone wants to host all of the dataset under a permissive open source license like I believe stackoverflow or wikipedia do, which is accessible to search engines, then scrub+anonymize my dataset and upload it there.

Obviously the issues with something like this are people uploading doctored data to poison the training models etc.

I can’t speak for op but one reason I’ve seen mentioned is users don’t want reddit to keep historic data. Reddit will profit from that data by selling it, using it as corpus for training etc.
