A screenshot, taken way before rexxit, of two comments on reddit, dated “1 year ago”.

The first comment is by a deleted user and the comment has been removed. The second comment is a reply to the deleted comment and it says: “That solved it. Thanks!”

Edit: added temporal context.

    Why does one single corporation get sole ownership of your knowledge?

    It’s not difficult to download what you have contributed to Reddit and to post elsewhere.

    Your knowledge belongs to you, you have the right to take it with you when you leave.

    Of course you have the right to be lazy and not do that. Or to say, “I am fine with leaving it for Reddit to sell”.

    But please don’t attempt to belittle or minimize the efforts of those who are trying to make a stand.

    You are acting like they are doing something wrong (“making the world smaller”) when they are simply deciding that their knowledge will not be monetized by a corporation.
