Me as well. I've been in situations where complete strangers online have answered and helped me so many times regarding problems I've had, so I've tried to return the favor through reddit and other platforms. I have no intention of doing this, this is just... mean IMO. You open the link in hope of finding an answer and you run into... this πŸ˜’.

While as a user it sucks that is exactly the reasons people do it. It takes the value away from reddit, if the content that users want to see it not there people will not go there.

What I find the best compromise is users that take their comments they had on reddit and post them again as it's own post to lemmy with the context needed. While not perfect the information is at least not lost completely and a google search in the future might actually bring someone to a lemmy instance instead of to a corporation like reddit. But that is obviously a lot of work to do, especially if you have lot of helpful comments on reddit.

You know how I joined reddit? None of the reasons everyone else might have, it just looked like a cool place. No one uses it where I live, except a few hundred people.

That being said, this was after years and years of me leeching off of comments on reddit. So, I thought I'd give the community something back... it's only fair. I come from the forum scene, that's how forums work. And let's be honest, no matter how much we started hating a place, we never did this back in the day. Why? The info shared in those posts is probably more valuable than whatever we're trying to achieve by doing this.

Of course, it's your choice, your account. I'm just saying that I think it's selfish and mean and that I would never do it. The free flow of info is what keeps the net going. You start tempering with that and you're just fueling more users into mass media (if everyone did this, users can't find any info about anything they're troubleshooting and just return to doomscrolling on FB/IG/Twitter).

I agree, it seems very petty to me. If you don't like the direction just leave, what's the point of trying to burn it down? Especially given how much we all got out of it throughout the golden years. I say just mourn and move on.

Exactly. Just move on.

This is the only effective way to protest reddit, though.

[–] michaelfone@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I care more about being helpful than protesting Reddit.

[–] CustodialTeapot@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Protest and stand up to free labour cooperations.

Archive your profile on archive.org and then fuck Reddit.

[–] Karlos_Cantana@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

How do you archive your profile on archive.org?

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.rollenspiel.monster 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That won't make it easier to find when troubleshooting for a problem online. And your profile is tied to conversations in threads, simply archiving your posts is just a blob of useless data with no context.

I erased everything that wasn't in a private subreddit or technical sub. I value the help I gave over the value I remove. Everything else is gone though, which was most of my account.

Me as well. One of the reasons why I will never do this.

[–] Action_Bastid@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

As someone who helped to generate those types of answers and then deleted them all.

Fuck Reddit, they didn't pay me for that work and then they dicked me over in chase of a half penny. Sorry the rest of the world doesn't get to use my work for free, but Reddit broke the agreement. I post content, they provide a good user experience. They failed their end, I rescinded mine.

I never got paid for anything either, but neither did everyone else that helped me over the years.

Of course, the choice is yours, but it's not OK IMO.

[–] michaelfone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Comments and posts that are just for entertainment, sure. But technical help isn’t a transaction between you and Reddit. It’s a friendly transaction between users purely out of the desire to help, and leaving it available to those who have the same question.

It’s like those posts asking for assistance on something extremely specific you also need help on, only for the next post to read, β€œnever mind I figured it out” with no additional information.

Yeah, you might hurt Reddit by removing that information, but you’re also hurting everyone else that may need help in the future.

It’s a friendly transaction between users purely out of the desire to help, and leaving it available to those who have the same question.

Further, it's a transaction that Reddit facilitated out of their own pocket. I think people are being extremely petty about it. It's best to just mourn and move on, we can still appreciate the golden years that Reddit gave us.

[–] DharkStare@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I agree. It's really annoying that now a bunch of incredibly helpful information has disappeared. This might hurt Reddit but it also hurts everyone else who might have benefited from it.

[–] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Every comment should have a reason why it is like this

Reasons don't fix the issue - the answer is mising.
