Or anything that can scrape the whole thread into some external file or representation? Even json would be fine

Maybe something that caches it or something. Seems to be how videos can be saved, hopefully works for text-based stuff altho their API is probably an obstacle maybe

        Yep; unless valid means open ended, thought provoking, ends with “?” and not support.

          That is pedantism. The abstract principal is of far more importance. Someone asking about how to scrape a website is a common topic. Bashing people for making use of Lemmy is toxic nonsense.

            Yeah, for a tech support community, like the one linked in the related communities box.

            What’s the point of all that toxic nonsense down the right hand side of the page ?

              Narcissistic fodder. They are guidelines. Community always comes first. Mods serve the community not the other way around. Those that fail to follow this rule should never be mods; they do it for the wrong reasons. Every mod action causes harm and the reason for actions should be clearly in the best interests of the whole community in every instant where actions are taken. Community rules are for building community, therefore the community always comes first. If the community pushes in some new direction and engages, the rules should change. The users own the community they post in. Mods serve that community. Narcissistic authoritarianism has no place in this democracy. Anyone with those tendencies should be purged. The only community that a mod can ever own is the one only they have ever posted within.
