I believe continuity is a reference for that value.

I think they're saying that if everybody starts a new account, reddit has to start all over again gathering user data because they don't know who the new accounts go to. Trying to make the data they have now useless because the history abruptly ends and all fresh accounts are created. Idea seems half baked.

You're not wrong. This isn't revolution, it's resistance. I don't have stakes in Reddit. Besides, I think the point of value is in continuity of the individual account as a member of a "community". When you see a post or comment that is actually interesting, don't you ever go and check out the profile? What if all of that was just unavailable after a certain specific date?

You could always just view Reddit in a web browser. I have never found apps any less of a pita than simply using a mobile browser.

Admittedly I have never tried safari.
