Given all the antics by the company and the despicable behavior by spez and his henchmen, my position on reddit has gone from "I'll use it much less now that my mobile app is gone and I only have desktop access" to "I will go out of my way to avoid providing value to the company even if it inconveniences me".
I just spent the better part of 5 hours yesterday manually deleting all my top comments from reddit. They can revoke edits made by pushshift, but they won't be able to figure out which manual edits to revoke. I used to give out technical advice on reddit and I used to get messages thanking me for posts I made years ago. Now all of those posts are gone.
Gotta love the narrative here. "what's the bare minimum we can do to keep the peasants from revolting?"
All the news about reddit over the last few days have made me realise that I no longer personally care.
I mean it's still funny to read about the way subs are protesting, but I haven't been on the site since the protests, and now I don't get angry about the changes anymore. It's a sign that I've finally kicked reddit out of my life after more than a decade on the platform.
Hah, same. I ended up downloading a browser extension that appends "-Pinterest" to every search.
Huh? Showing news results on search is beneficial for the news sites, it pulls in viewers. Search engines have never paid someone for the privilege of linking to them lol.
This reminds me, I haven't been back on reddit since the blackout started.
End of an era
What kind of authoritarian power move is this? Lol
Yeah, reddit is restoring bulk edits made using the api but you can still go to your user profile, sort by top scoring comments, and manually change your top 10-20 comments
I can't wait for the anti-bot bots and the anti-anti-bot bot bots to start emerging...
This is foreshadowing for the fact that his allergy was psychological.
