Personally, I couldn't care less about Reddit itself, but what's really annoying is that half of my Google searches end up in temporarily closed subreddits.

Reddit has become some sort of a Stack Overflow lately - I hope all that knowledge will be moved somewhere else.

just add “cache:” before the url (without the quotes, without any extra space), most of the time it works. it should go to google cache in most browsers.

Thank you. I was lost after they removed the cached version button on Google results. The link got progressively buried before it disappeared, I think.

Thanks. Doesn't work with Vivaldi, but on Chromium it does!

So I would go as far to say as the only thing that was keeping Google useful to me was Reddit. I'd use Google to search Reddit and find info I need.

I honestly think this incident is a lot more major than people realize. A major, major, major part of the internet is being vaporized for almost no good reason at all.

It's pretty insane when you think about it.

Aren't they on the internet archive?

This really only makes me angry with these power hungry moderators throwing toddler like temper tantrums... Not with Reddit, with them it is the bad web site...

I say just kick them out and get someone else. And if those are not good, repeat until it is acceptable.

This isn’t the moderators going rogue or being power hungry. The members of the community asked the moderators to extend the blackout. 48 hours is nothing. Easy for Reddit to ride it out.
