It would be a good way to fill the fediverse with useful data.
Of course, there could be legal implications, technical issues (attribution, etc), ethical dilemmas, etc.
I still think this should be discussed at least. The data is public, and dumps of reddit can be found pretty easily.
So what are your thoughts on the matter?
What’s the goal?
If the goal is to have people come here instead of reddit when they Google a support question, then that might work. But those people will come for their one question, get their answer or not, and leave.
If the goal is to build up a community and attract users then it’s much better to have organic content people can engage with than stale content copied from elsewhere.
My thought is that this knowledge needs to be archived and available, to prevent it from being taken hostage by a platform.
If it becomes a a good replacement for a site:reddit.com search, then even better, I’ve seen many users that are quite distressed by this. It’s great for the protest and highlights a “vulnerability” in our knowledge banks
