Sbubbies are images in which the text of a logo has been cleanly edited to read something different.

We've altered our ruleset a bit from the subreddit, and these may change at short notice as we acclimate to Lemmy.

I've been on Reddit since 2012. I don't believe I used any app other than RiF during that whole time. Currently using Power Delete Suite to wipe my account then I plan to delete. I've found quite a better home over here on Lemmy anyways. Wish I had known of this place sooner.

Check back occasionally to verify your comments remain deleted. While I've not had it happen to my main, others have reported their comments seem to return soon after doing a purge.

I thought my deleted comments were getting restored by reddit, but it just turns out that you can't delete comments from private subreddits. So I initially deleted everything during the 2 day blackout, then a few days later when things started opening up again, I saw a ton of comments still on my account, so I just assumed reddit had been restoring them.

I did advertising to Lemmy and got my first ban ever. Dw it's fine, I didn't even do it in a very toxic way.

I just mentioned a bunch people where comming here

Hahaha I don't even have to try to advertise, all I have to do is post and I'm instantly banned.... I think I hurt a mods feeling by making AITA_Mods_are_incels as an alt user name.

Reddit is such a great source of information though-- especially when I'm looking for user feedback, instructions, or human opinions. It's a shame that many posts are going to get deleted in the following weeks (especially in the tech sphere since most people quitting Reddit are going to be techies)

[–] Imotali 27 points 1 year ago

That's why you should delete the comments/posts though. Because you make it less desirable to advertisers by making it less convenient to "just add Reddit" after a Google search.

From what I heard, there is another website that 'scrapes' Reddit for the information, so in theory that information should not be lost.

[–] Merulox 4 points 1 year ago

Which website? Unless you mean the Internet Archive?

Shredders going back at least five years have been editing comments and replacing them with placeholder text prior to deleting, on the assumption they might only be retaining the final version before deletion.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

What I've been doing in cleaning up is, I first edit everything to be scrambled garbage, and then I delete it later. Most devs forget editing stuff is possible, so they won't restore it in the heat of the moment until the logs are burried

I'll second the "Wish I learned about Lemmy sooner" bit. Just feels so much better.

Have a nice day, fellow reddit refugee!

Same story for me too. I've used Reddit since 2012 while only using RiF. The Jerboa app on Android is pretty similar, I've been using it for a while and have been quite liking it.

Although instead of deleting everything, I edited all my comments to be multiple pages of lorem ipsum placeholder text to mess with the AI crawlers that Reddit profits off.
