I agree that it was one of the last trustworthy sources - but with the verifiable reports of posts being edited/deleted/undeleted before/during/after the whole 3rd party app debacle, and the pushshift.io ban that prevents checking to see what was originally posted (pushshift was banned in May '23) - I don’t trust it anymore, and actively try to avoid it for all but independently verifiable technical stuff. It’s made things more difficult, I used to count on it as a source but now I barely trust it as a starting point.
