Just the cost of pissing off all the highly technical users who helped build the place.
Exactly. Just used Redact myself a few weeks ago.
I wish I'd done that. I deleted my 12 year old account right before learning about these tools.
When Reddit's API debacle happened lots of people moved away. Some deleted their comments, some edited them with a message in protest. But sadly the consequences is that a lot of history and useful information got lost in the process.
I don't know how I feel about this. I understand why it's done and even why it needs to be done, but it still makes me sad considering the amount of times where Reddit saved me from massive headaches with IT stuff and so on...
As someone who deleted their posts... yes. The goal was to make Reddit worse, by removing my contributions to it because they forgot where their value came from.
My content had some small value to them. They didn't deserve it.
Reddit undeleted a lot of the content removed during the API debacle. This comment must have been after that because you can see the latest comment is post API changes.
Well, this happens if you don't respect your users.
I wished I'd deleted all my comments and posts before deleting my account.
Don't forget they're also selling all your freely provided content to AI scrapers as well. Fuck Reddit.
I wonder what happens to your account when you get banned
Believe it or not, straight to the AI farm.
Good.
They went public and made bank on free user input. Those users rebelled so the platform would suck.
It may still be standing but I feel we won over a year ago.
I know I deleted all my posts from multiple accounts before coming here.
Good
They just added comment history hiding as well, so now you can’t even tell if some people are engaging in good faith anymore.
So I get banned for reporting trolls because it's an "Abuse of the Report Button" AND they make it easier to Troll? Do they just want people not using the site?
you cant tell if people are botting/spamming
Good! The users add all the value to that site, moderate if for free and they couldn't even not be cunts about it.
they want propaganda bots mostly now on reddit.
Remember, the capitalization of resources like this is a planned attack against the lower, middle, working class from uniting against the elite and capitalistic agenda. Reddit was a sharing of knowledge, and the control of knowledge, to the elite, should be solely within their control, and the sharing of knowledge to the aforementioned working class groups is a direct assault on their power.
That’s why they bought Reddit out and sunk it.
It’s not just ‘Fuck Spez!’, sure he caved and monetized Reddit, but his actions were just a symptom of the wider issue; capitalism is another tool designed by the elite to subjugate the working class.
good, but it's not enough
Remember to occasionally search for "site:reddit.com [your username]".
stackoverflow be like
"hey i have this problem and i can't figure it out"
posted 10 years ago
"nevermind i figured out it so all is good"

Whoa since when can you view removed comments?
WTF? View removed comment?
reddit is quickly making itself irrelevant.
who knew extreme censorship would be bad for the exchange of information??
I did my part to protest Reddit's awful policies by nuking everything I'd ever posted to deny their ability to give it platform. Less information = site less useful.
A drop in the ocean really, but a lot of people did the same which the Reddit admins did take notice of. Not that spez cared anyway because he's a cunt.
I like seeing blank comments on there now. It's often a sign of somebody else who got fed up with Reddit's bullshit.
I made sure to remove all my posts before i left when they started blocking anonymous vpn users. 3 accounts across 15+ years all gone because of their stupid policies.
Yea, this kind of problem is only going to get worse I expect.
I set up self-hosted linkwarden the other day to try to avoid this going forward.
Good, fuck reddit, anybody with an account should delete all comment history.
I love that people are removing the solutions, but keeping the “holy shit you just saved me 2-3 full quarters of work”
