Partly to reduce Reddit's reputation as the place to find answers for obscure problems, and partly to encourage neutral users to search for alternatives.

I think that deleters will not make a mind breaking difference, but the idea is to remove and rebuild that information other places.

With that said, if any of you had posted some obscure but wildly useful information on Reddit, please consider making a post in the relevant Lemmy community (or stack overflow, or wherever) with the solution.
