I see your point, but personally the best response is nothing. Just walk away and don't look back.
Im glad I just want the people who say things like, "Just let it go enough of Reddit drama." to light one last fire, add reddit stuff to their blocklist, and go pioneer lemmy culture. this is for those who had undeletion problems
I've let it go, and so should you.
I had like 2 posts that I considered useful. They were guides on how to get twin stick controls on goldeneye 007 emulation for android and how to make CHD compression work on apple silicon. Rather than delete them, I copied them over to kbin then replaced the Reddit posts with links to those. That way Redditors can still access the guides, but theyβll have to leave Reddit and see a little fediverse to do it.
We can also type lot of offending terms in various language, then ads won't be shown due to explicit material
Are you saying "crassholes" or "assholes"
Last time I edited my posts they were reverted back a week later. I've now deleted them all by hand and that seems to be holding. Still keeping an eye on it though.
For me it was the other way around, every single deleted comment got undeleted. Since then I've edited them (manually) and they're still that way.
I guess they can either detect mass edited/deleted comments or that they checked comments for edits/deletes after the api access change.
if its subtle, a glance should reveal nothing off, a reading of it should give you an odd aftertaste.
add an excuse like, "Edit, fixed grammar"
Rework
Last time I edited my posts they were reverted back a week later. Iβve now deleted them all by hand and that seems to be holding. Still keeping an eye on it though.to be secretly and subttly about the slight advantage of reddit gold, be verry short, keep original sentence structure
Last time I gilded my posts, they were guilded back a week later. Iβve now given them all by hand and that seems to be holding. Still keeping an eye on it though.
Just let it go enough of Reddit drama.
What the fuck.
I used Power Delete Suite to edit and delete my comment history. My profile shows nothing, but I just did a Google search for my reddit /u/ and my comments are still showing in the threads.
Fuck you spez and fuck you reddit.
Your edits won't show up on Google for a long time (not sure how often it refreshes) but clicking through should show you your now edited/deleted comment
No, that's not what I'm saying; I'm well aware of Google caching. I'm saying the actual reddit comment threads themselves are still showing my comments while my user profile is empty.
Oh that's sketchy AF. Can you share a screenshot? Not that I disbelieve you, but I'd love to see proof of reddit's fuckery with not actually removing content
I haven't yet overwritten/deleted my comments because I haven't been back since the initial blackout so I can't verify it myself
you can't use power delete anymore. sort your own posts by top (all time), and manually change the useful ones.
I ran it June before the appocalypse
This hurts users actually trying to find help more than it hurts reddit.
You want reddit to die just stop engaging with it. Archiving old info isn't a profitable platform because new stuff drives engagement.
Being active elsewhere is what will kill reddit.
Oh, it hurts reddit in the sense people looking for help will stop thinking of Reddit as the place to find it.
Itβs going to piss off users and people trying to find Reddit info via Google. It will actively do the opposite of encouraging users to switch to Lemmy or something else because they wonβt want to migrate over to a den of assholes. Just delete the comments.
The biggest issue though is that youβll give Reddit an excuse to revert your comments. Unless youβre in Europe, itβs their data not yours. Reverting deleted comments makes them look bad to existing users, reverting or wiping out cesspool comments will give them actual justification.
But why? Just let go already, pal..
wow this is old. I was being quite childish.
I posted a bunch of comments promoting Lemmy there today. They have all been removed.
I ended up pasting a concise message replacing all my comments, pointing out how dogshit Reddit has been and that I'd rather go somewhere else in the fediverse. Hopefully as the things get now dire, more people will make the move across
I have less than a hundred comments So I don't mind having a little fun xD
(I wonder how much edit history is cached before the original post is unrevertable? Two edits? Three? 15 randomizations?)
The better question is: how are they going to decide what/how to revert?
