> Reddit has been passed around more than a joint at a Grateful Dead concert.

Wouldn’t a joint being passed around get all consumed in less than one pass? This is Grateful Dead we’re talking about.

Really interesting thing about the Grateful Dead is back in the 90s their tour was the distribution network for the Bay Area organization that made virtually all of the US market’s LSD. Back then the DEA actually published their internal research on the Internet. Their research conclusively showed it was a single lab making it all. It even discussed how impossible it was to infiltrate the network because they were spiritual zealots and not mercenary drug dealers. I miss those days.

Apparently no culture is a match for withstanding just 30 years of unfathomable wealth.

Depends on the size of the joint.

That's excellent - wonder if there are any of those undelete websites for hn (same as ceddit.com).

Ceddit was really good for r/askhistorians threads. You could read interesting takes on the questions that did not pass the mods snob filter.

It hasn't worked for some time.

There are alternatives, like reveddit. I think they all use the Pushshift API behinds the scenes.

That's correct. I'm the author of Reveddit. A few things like user pages and the desktop extension work entirely without Pushshift. Threads can function somewhat without it. I maintain a FAQ with details of how it works in case anyone's interested,
