Reddit removes years of chat and message archives from users' accounts (mashable.com)

Reddit recently removed years of chat and message archives from users' accounts without warning as part of an infrastructure upgrade. Many Redditors were upset to discover that their chat histories from before January 2023 were no longer accessible. Reddit claims they only migrated data from 2023 forward during the transition to the new chat infrastructure. Some users were able to retrieve some of their old messages by requesting their Reddit data, though others reported that not all messages were recovered. Along with this change, Reddit has recently made other unpopular decisions like ending Reddit Gold, showing a lack of communication and consideration for users' sentimental attachment to their online data.

What's the conspiracy part in Blackrock in your personal beliefs?

[–] 2bR02b@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I’m guessing you watched the same YouTube bs that I stumbled upon where the downfall of organizations such as Netflix is attributed to Blackrock. That channel is such blatant propaganda/conspiracy theories that I don’t think Blackrock is anything but a target for conspiracy theorists much like Bill Gates is.

Blackrock is "evil" insofar as it is a corporation, and corporations are evil. They're not the fucking New World Order or some stupid bullshit.

I know it feels good to believe that powerful entities are controlling things behind the scenes. But "feels good" doesn't always comport with "true."
