Uhh, some of us would not like to see a cooperation profit off of our contributions. This is a perfectly fine place to discuss our exit strategy of a service we have contributed content for for years.

Most people are brand new to Lemmy and this will be the case for a long time. It's inevitable for information to be repeated for a while.

I'm in your camp, and don't want to look back.

I thought about these other strategies, edit comments, link to Lemmy/other fediverses, but it's too much work for something I want to walk away from.

It's as if breaking up with an ex for his/her toxic behaviour, and choosing to burn him/her even more, or just stfu and move on, I'm choosing the latter.

Mentally, I think it's better for me, rather than carry this grudge passenger longer than it should.

Same for twitter, meta/fb. I'm fine with seeing posts as long as it's 'news' and not being salty.

👍

Im glad I just want the people who say things like, "Just let it go enough of Reddit drama." to light one last fire, add reddit stuff to their blocklist, and go pioneer lemmy culture. this is for those who had undeletion problems

Are you saying "crassholes" or "assholes"

For me it was the other way around, every single deleted comment got undeleted. Since then I've edited them (manually) and they're still that way.

if its subtle, a glance should reveal nothing off, a reading of it should give you an odd aftertaste.

add an excuse like, "Edit, fixed grammar"

Rework Last time I edited my posts they were reverted back a week later. I’ve now deleted them all by hand and that seems to be holding. Still keeping an eye on it though. to be secretly and subttly about the slight advantage of reddit gold, be verry short, keep original sentence structure

Last time I gilded my posts, they were guilded back a week later. I’ve now given them all by hand and that seems to be holding. Still keeping an eye on it though.

Your edits won't show up on Google for a long time (not sure how often it refreshes) but clicking through should show you your now edited/deleted comment

you can't use power delete anymore. sort your own posts by top (all time), and manually change the useful ones.

wow this is old. I was being quite childish.

Oh, it hurts reddit in the sense people looking for help will stop thinking of Reddit as the place to find it.

It’s going to piss off users and people trying to find Reddit info via Google. It will actively do the opposite of encouraging users to switch to Lemmy or something else because they won’t want to migrate over to a den of assholes. Just delete the comments.

The biggest issue though is that you’ll give Reddit an excuse to revert your comments. Unless you’re in Europe, it’s their data not yours. Reverting deleted comments makes them look bad to existing users, reverting or wiping out cesspool comments will give them actual justification.

The better question is: how are they going to decide what/how to revert?
