Before I left Reddit, I used a plugin through the api to replace all of my comments with random gibberish and then delete them. Part of this was because (mandatory) fuck spez. But more importantly, it was to protect the anonymity of my account. After years of posting, there is likely enough personal information shared to potentially connect my Reddit habits to my online identity. I wasn't planning on using Reddit again in the future on that account, but I left it open in order to maintain some security control over the account. I'm not really sure what to do at this point because I still consider it a security vector that's a bit concerning. There's no way I can manually edit and delete all of my content with the snail's-pace reddit UI, and I have no ability to assure that my content will remain unavailable or at least not publicly displayed.

This is why I make sure that everything I post is offensive or inflammatory. That way, keeping my comments published is counterproductive for the platform, you dumb piece of shit.

See the reason Lemmy is better than Reddit is because you don't have 37 people jumping down your throat right now because they didn't understand the sarcasm

Bro WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT MY IQ? I’ll have you know my momma cared about my schooling very much. LIFE WAS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES

[-] HATEFISH@midwest.social 9 points 3 months ago

Idk man, sarcasm comprehension might even be worse here somehow....

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

really depends which group of netizens happen upon your comment and when.

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 months ago

I can’t believe you think my IQ is 37!!
(I can’t read.)

And you didn't get a 3 day ban for threatening violence. Even if all you said was "I miss when we could unapologetically punch Nazis."

Reminds me of my Reddit "violence" ban. I said that RFK voters should have their brains looked inside for more brain worms. Admins took this to mean literally open their heads up, killing them in the process.

Reddit will ban you for literally anything if it gets dogpiled hard enough with reports.

[-] Kurroth@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

As long as this kind of thread doesn't get repeated over and over.

[-] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 13 points 3 months ago

Damn, I wish I thought of this before. Instead I tried so hard to be nice and helpful 😔

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Helpful, abrasive, profane; you can be all three at once!

[-] experbia@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

you dumb piece of shit.

😢 I know, I'm sorry, I'm trying

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

No, no, no... not you. You're great! Your posts are great, your attitude is great, your hair looks good. I love everything about you. I was just making a comment about how sites like Reddit deserve to be littered with offensive and insulting comments you fucking moron.

[-] njordomir@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

That's a great idea, eat shit butthead. ;-)

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago
