I had a friend suggest that Google just buy Reddit. With their deep pockets they could just run it at a loss. And it can help the search and AI development. Not the worst idea. Can’t see them running it any worse than the current administration.

Lol, it must be bad when I’m genuinely the thinking this isn’t a bad idea. Google, yeah that company. It wouldn’t cost that much to run anyway and would probably be helpful to them as you say.

In a word, “Good.”
This is exactly the point, as we all know. Answers to every random question out there should NOT be a centralized single point of failure that can be captured and monetized. It should be distributed, archived, and made freely available like libraries.
Federated, I’d you will. 😏
