Malicious Compliance

Its a good idea to screenshot any you come across in case they change later there is evidence of tampering

/r/pics was originally hidden, I think just because they were new comments. I check after a few hours and it was like 34k upvotes for john and like -8k on the return to normal comment.

No no, the CEO of Reddit who was definitely not caught altering other user's comments and altering vote numbers would never consider altering the vote count on these polls. Certainly not. Definitely not.

They should really have used a polling site off Reddit to avoid that, but then, I suppose that if Reddit honestly got caught fiddling the scores -- like, say, a huge instant jump at the end -- that would be pretty catastrophic from a PR standpoint for the admins doing it.

please dont let it be your last time.

1. you could talk about lemmy and maybe bring people here
2. You could bring your old posts here
3. you could exchange your messages with nonsense:

": if you replace the content of your posts/comments with nonsense, you'll make Reddit Inc. (including its CEO) lose money."

"There's a good chance that those API price changes were motivated by large businesses using Reddit to train their large language models (LLMs) with. Stuff like GPT-3, Google's BERT, Facebook's Galactica, stuff like this. In other words, your content will be used to train bots. (It is, already.)

Those models can be "poisoned" with random, machine generated nonsense. Poisoned data is worse than useless: it makes the model worse. So for each person replacing their Reddit content with nonsense, those businesses will be willing to pay Reddit Inc. less and less for API access."

"Here is a mini-tutorial on how to do this. It's for desktop users but you'll likely be able to do the same from a phone browser.

• [Choose 1/3] Open Zompist's gen. Take off the line saying "ki|či", and click "Generate". You'll get some random babble like "Bepe topioi kabi brete i kropra", copy it somewhere.
• [Choose 2/3] Open https://sebpearce.com/bullshit/ to get an entire bullshit article
• [Choose 3/3] Open https://nonsense.x2d.org/ to get a bullshit sentence, i suggest getting a few ones.
• Open your Reddit profile and drag the button of Power Delete Suite to it.
• [Optional] Check the box saying "prepare local backup of items", if you want to save your content elsewhere.
• Uncheck "remove comments". You want to replace them with babble, not remove them.
• [Optional] uncheck "remove posts". It depends if you post mostly self posts or if you post links/pics. Use your reasoning.
• Check "Edit comments / self posts". It should open an input box for text; place the babble from Zompist's gen there. Then click "process".
• Just wait!
• [Optional] Click to download the backup of the items.

If you don't like Zompist's gen and/or Power Delete Suite, you can use any generator and/or Reddit mass edition tool of your choice."

and yes, i am somewhat still on reddit but i think i do more against them when my app does not work anymore (to spread lemmy or information) i will follow this process

There could still be communities that are still there, though.
