Wow. Used to love Reddit for TTRPG.

This could be something. If anything, it's hope.
insane. the Internet Archive is the single most important resource for journalists. it stops people from deleting things you may be investigating, and doesn't let anyone alter content after the fact to blame their faults on others (hello Elliptic).
X is already blocking the Internet Archive. Now Reddit is following suit. Internet is over my guys.
On one hand, yes.
On the other hand, X and Reddit (and all other centralized social media) are the modern equivalent of the AOL tards.
I do have a little bit of a hard time giving a damn what goes on in those silly places.
For the Internet that exists somewhat more secluded from these bastions of eternal september, the Internet Archive lives.

The internet will keep receipts
There's also archive.is, which saves screenshots of entire articles (or you can submit new ones as they are published). People use this one to see changes to articles, as well as to read behind paywalls. NewsDiff also keeps track of news article changes.
There's no such thing as "my data" or "your data" once you publish it literally becomes public domain. You can own a thought but never something published (either with your voice or fingers).
IP defenders will try to convince you with a bunch a too-complex-to-think-through filibuster, but in the end, no one can attest that a thought leading to a post was first idealized in their head. You can only ensure ownership through secrecy.
