I think the messages thing was more a limitation of the old platform. I looked into it once to see if I could replicate Reddit chats outside of the app/website and it all went through a 3rd party who didn’t expose any api, had terrible latency and throughput issues and constantly broke.

The new system will be just as bad, just now Reddit will control it.

There is no set of raw data that cannot be laundered into a new system.

They removed the messages because they wanted to.
