Apologies for being the bearer of bad news. "6 hours ago" means roughly 6-7pm Eastern on April 30, 2025. I have no further information; I only know because I was going to visit the wiki and . . . apparently now I'm not.

It's under "Guides & Search Engines" in the Software section of the megathread, should anyone with rights care to update.

baffled how people see this as sad news

I don't understand. Are you saying we should be happy to see more online communities being eliminated for the benefit of corporate interests? Why wouldn't it be disappointing (aka, "sad") to hear about more of that going on, even if you dislike the platform where it's happening?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Anything that leads to the demise of Reddit is something I (personally) will be happy about. It's their problem if they stay on a platform like that, knowing full well that their community can be banned in an instant. Now they have the option to create that community here.
