Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I'm cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you'd like to see why it's good news that we found Lemmy.

Edit: I took a screenshot in case it gets deleted.

I wish there was an easy way to archive my old reddit comments. Anything older than 1000 comments seems impossible to access even though I made them.

You could do a data request, that should be everything they have on you

I did that when the API fees were first announced, and it took a couple of weeks for them to respond, but I got a full text file of my comments and posts.

Oh thanks, I've just done that. I wrote a LOT of stuff in my time. I always thought it'd be good to look back and see how my positions changed and how I felt about my old thoughts. It was pretty annoying not to have a way to go back and actually read my stuff, even though they're still hosting them and profiting off of them.

I'll be honest most of it is anarchist propaganda so I'm in two minds as to whether or not to remove it. I'll definitely get rid of the fun games stuff I posted and find a place here for it.

Even without the gdpr, if you wait a couple days after deleting that first 1000 you'll start seeing older comments again.

Of course it's not ideal, just pointing it out.

Okay but that sounds too much like work to me.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
