About what, exactly? I can't be the only one seeing almost 0 effort in post titles on lemmy. How hard can it be to just....edit your shitty titles once you spot a typo, at least? Also, I'm only giving examples of that sort because this stupid ass post is equating typing "/s" to stupidity. Seems only fair to reply with an example of similar levels.

We have editable titles and I see far worse titles, title grammar, and title punctuation in here than on reddit. Do you really think there's no stupid here?

And yet, reddit is still being used with pretty much identical traffic to before all of this (the "exodus" is essentially a rounding error when you compare reddit traffic variation to other platforms' traffic variation, a statistical variation that can be ignored), moderators are still moderating, and this entire debacle will be almost entirely forgotten in a few months. Except now they don't have competing phone clients, they can shove their nft crap and ads down redditors' throats, and the IPO won't be affected by this at this rate.

I thought it would be different. I thought there was no way the majority of reddit would find it so hard to leave. It's harder to leave other platforms when they prioritize you connecting with your own peers, but reddit? A news aggregator with comments? People simply didn't care enough to leave.

It's not that it's not intelligent, it's that predictive language models are obviously just one piece of the puzzle, and we're going to need all the pieces to get to AGI. It's looking incredibly doable if we figured out how to make something that's dumb but sounds smarter than most of us already. We just need to connect it to other models that handle other things better.

What the fuck is that cesspit, Jesus. Everyone is just calling each other a jew. They even note that they're doing that to each other... Some corners of the internet, man

As I mentioned, I went through the whole process a month ago, when I did see this exact behavior and I understand it perfectly. Right now, though? Why wouldn't it show up at all? After a month with my account mostly empty, I'd expect to be able to see such comments. Yet, no matter how I sort it all, I don't see those comments.

here you go, this is my account overview

And here is a comment which I cannot find on my account overview, posts, or comments, no matter how I sort it all.

Now explain to me the tech illiteracy or the mundane reason this is happening. I deleted EVERYTHING off my account a month ago, and have created a single post since.

I'm leaving it up just so people can see that this is indeed happening. I would instantly delete it otherwise. I found it just like OP found his posts.

Edit: Here's a Pic of the comment, just in case. Notice the time on my phone, I took this after posting this comment.

Edit 2: I can keep going, just keep asking me for more proof and I'm more than happy to find more shit, from my phone, from my PC, old reddit, new reddit... Go ahead and find my account on reddit and do the searches yourself if you want. First posts are duds, but you'll find more content of mine if you keep looking through Google.

Why would comments not show up on your overview but show up on threads they were posted on? How hard can it be to do a SELECT WHERE on a db? Even if you assume things get cropped for performance, eventually the comments should show up in your account overview. I found one today, which just didn't show up in my account overview, and I deleted EVERYTHING on my account a month ago.

[–] JGrffn 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, but I definitely found comments that were mine, which didn't show up in my account but showed up in the threads where they were posted, purely through Google searches just like the one described on this post.

[–] JGrffn 41 points 1 year ago

I just did a search just like OP said and while it's true that most results are just outdated scraped content where my posts and comments have been deleted, I did find one just now that doesn't appear on my account overview, but that I could see, edit, and delete on the reddit thread itself.

Its a commonly floated idea among my circles, and by me personally, that we kinda just want to fuck off and build a comfy commune somewhere not too hot, not too cold, just away from cities, and try to be as self-sufficient as possible. Just a small group of friends and family. It's kinda what I'm saving up for, if I'm honest, because buying a city house is just.... Prohibitively expensive for what it is.

Iean, I'm sure Ted lasso would be a fine tactician in the world of Fire Emblem, so...
