There are lots of extremely useful information that has been posted on Reddit over the years, just think of how many times you've searched for things like "best X alternative Reddit" and found a great app suggestion, or when you searched for an error and someone asked about the same thing on Reddit a couple of months ago. This knowledge needs to be preserved and we do need to help the Archive Team out so that we can keep this invaluable source of knowledge.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Awesome work! Big respect to all the data hoarders out there, doing their bit to preserve the thoughts and opinions of the many!
Data hoarders are a weird bunch that is absolutely essential to society. (Speaking as a steam game hoarder who has played less than 5% of the games I’ve bought. I just can’t seem to stop buying games)
You're an archivist. Though I like that you own the term 'data hoarder' so nobody can use it as a pejorative.
Yeah I think data hoarder is like the geek/nerd from 90s. They're (almost) no longer a pejorative, but rather a sort of badge of honor. With how important it is getting to archive data for personal or for public use, I can see data hoarder becoming a badge of honor in the future.

Only the the datahording subreddit would be able to do this of course.
