Further to Reddit's recent woes since the announcement of the API pricing change, claims have surfaced that it has suffered a data breach at the hands of BlackCat, with 80GB of zipped data taken.

From the article:

“Following recent fallout from the subreddit blackouts, and the controversial comments from CEO Steve Huffman, Reddit has been having a tough time in the eyes of its users who have been reportedly leaving the platform and setting up alternatives on the fediverse (such as Lemmy or kbin), used by the Twitter alternative Mastodon.”
