I nuked all my posts and comments.
Glad that I left the place, it can burn and go to hell for all I care.
On the other hand there’s enough constructive engagement happening here to fulfil my needs.
They are restoring them a few hours later...
Thats why you edit them first to something in protest. (“I refuse to let u/spez get off on my posts”) and then delete them. Apparently reddit doesn’t keep a history of eddits (unless they changed that now) and they could only revert them back to your provocative comment which they wont.
I've written a python script that is run regularly to 1) edit the comment 2) delete the comment.
The unedited version is restored.
Haha, that is why I am glad I replaced all my contents with garbage before removing and waited for couple of days before removing them.
About to replace all my comments with links to a dick pic.
Because of their horrendous business decisions I found this place, and MAN has it been a breath of fresh air! Still need to learn my way around though
Yes, love that I found a new home. But it is an adjustment and the bugs of the apps can be frustrating. But so happy to have a place to engage and to make post. I love Lemmy.
Let us be the best place to be.
It’s not perfect, but the discussion is much better… for now
Yes I am enjoying the discussion for now. It's refreshing.
Honestly, you don't need any app. I'm using Firefox on mobile and it's way better than the app I tried.
The Lemmy web app is progressive, and you can "install" it on your android phone's home screen easily enough. But it's still a web app, and it's kind of janky, compared to a "real" app.
Though, I'm comparing it to things like Reddit Sync and Apollo, which are fantastic.
Sync said they're working on creating it for Lemmy now.
Same, I never quite got into mastodon (then again I rarely used twitter as well) but this one feels like the first fediverse thing I really love using
Little dictator testing how effective his big red button is
Quite effective, I finally used Power Delete Suite.
Could they have handled this whole situation any worse?
They could auto-reply to all press inquiries with a poop emoji? Otherwise... probably not, lol.
Oh goodie they’re eating themselves alive. I’m going to enjoy watching it die
They just keep kicking the hornets nest
The beatings will continue until morale improves. You WILL behave for the shareholders.
It doesn't matter how hard Reddit tries to break up the protest, if they don't reverse course on this, the site will implode on July 1st when the API changes happen and mods of large subreddits no longer can use the tools they need to do their jobs. Reddit's trying to claim they have new mod tools in the works, but I'm sure they're full of shit.
Everyone at that company is an absolute idiot for not listening to the moderators they're actively antagonizing right now, and it's going to blow up in their faces.
The other thing is why this timeline? I think it’s because of the downgrade of the valuation on the IPO.
It seems like there are investors and other forces plus the absolutely awful communication and leadership from Huffman.
They are in this spot where people who don’t seem to understand Reddit are making decisions about it.
Even if this doesn’t “kill” reddit, the decision making has been very obviously hostile toward its users and future.
If it's anything like their video player, it's going to be complete garbage. Something I love about lemmy is how I can watch videos with no lag or spotty loading. Whoever wrote reddit's video player needs to be shot.
Beatings will continue until morale improves.
Yeah this kind of shit here is why I do not regret leaving. My oldest reddit account is from back when Bush was still president and Idgaf anymore, it's dead to me now. I'm looking forward to seeing kbin flourish instead.
How do I set my feed to hot by default?
Do it through your profile settings. But don't be surprised if it doesn't work. For me it works on Lemmy.ml but not on the Jerbora app. 🤷♂️
In my experience top day works better than hot currently, but there should be a dropdown in the settings menu, the one you'd use to change your profile icon or password or such, to set the default sorting
Wonder what ther're going to do about r/political humor, since everyone subbed to it is a mod weather they want to be or not.
they're not really mods, they just set up automoderator to perform mod actions based on user input
It's such a shame. It's also a lesson to not make the same mistakes again. Fediverse seems like a good step forward.
I deleted my alt account a few days ago and just deleted my 11 year account last night. Good riddance.
I nuked my 10 year old post and comment history, but haven't been able to pull the trigger on account deletion. Soon, maybe.
Check back in a week and make sure your posts are still deleted. I nuked mine and a bunch of old posts slowly started repopulating my profile.
+1 on this. I am still finding my comments on Google searches, even though my profile says there aren't any. I think it's going to be a while before I can get them all.
Just goes to show that they don't value the community and the moderators who help keep their platform afloat. Reddit is seeing $$$ and doesn't care anymore about the user experience.
Literally just ran Reddit Delete Suite* on my account. RIP made sure to edit every post/comment as well. Guess I will try kbin and maybe look into lemmy since they can kinda be used the same, honestly the whole fediverse needs some love UI and UX wise. I have seen several posts about people dev apps for both, so looking forward to what the future holds for sure.
*Shout out to the other two comments with the links thanks
could you link the suite?
i'd love to nuke the comments on my 15 year old account. F reddit.
Just so you're aware, if you have more than 1000 comments/posts in your history they won't be indexed and immediately available. I'm assuming it takes time to propagate. So don't delete your account straight after, keep running it every other day until entries stop appearing.
Yeah I'll get to my PC here in a minute and come back to this comment, and edit this one with the link. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
I just added the JavaScript to my hotbar and then went to my reddit and ran it on the page and waited for it to start. Super simple and has filters as well man. Depending on how many comments/posts you have, could take quite a while I only had a few thousand that needed to be edited. So it took around 8-10min. 16 yr account though lol RIP Reddit losing a lot there!
Probably meaning this PowerDeleteSuite
