Mildly Infuriating

It's annoying, but it had to be done.

Try AI tbh. It's saved me from tons of forum posts in pursuit of specialized technical knowledge, where I'd often be lucky to get a response at all.

Just the cost of pissing off all the highly technical users who helped build the place.

Well, this happens if you don't respect your users.

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...

I get that it's annoying, but reddit deserves to burn.

good, but it's not enough

Good! The users add all the value to that site, moderate if for free and they couldn't even not be cunts about it.

The comment says removed, but the user says deleted.

And because of the large number of people who not only left Reddit, but burnt bridges in doing so by using tools to delete or garble their entite post history, it's hard to tell if this was Reddit's doing or just that of a fed-up user who deleted their own posts when leaving the site.

I did the same.

Reddit showed it didn't give a fsck about my user experience with their banning of third party apps, but they still wanted to sell the content I put the effort in to providing.

Screw you guys. You want to make money off hosting my words, whatever. But don't stick a pineapple up my arse at the same time and expect me not to feel it.

Thanks for getting me to finally run one of these scripts to scramble and delete everything in my old account. Fuck every American corporation and their user experience.

Thanks, SPEZ!

I really need to go back and delete all my posts, I just dropped it and never went back.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

Yeah.. I did this too when leaving. Made a small app to edit and delete every comment I made. I actually had a useful IT related self hosting post which was also nuked. I guess that's the price the whole community had to pay for reddits thirst for profit.

Although, long ago, I heard of a rumor; all of reddit was frequently backed up and available for download. Is that still a thing? Was it ever a thing?

I wish 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.
