Good thing I’m not on that shitty platform anymore.
I deleted my shut when I left bur thinking about it. It’s mostly drunken rambling and bad takes. Probably should have left it
It already happened without their consent. You’ve been able to get it to produce “reddit text posts”, for years. This is a bit harrowing, though.
Reddit is a trove of user built content under the guise of community. What Spez did was to say “thanks for all the free work, suckers!”, put a price sticker on it, and laughed all the way to the bank.
And this is why I’m not active on any Internet community anymore.Nevermind, I guess I just can’t help myself…And that is another unintended example of why all of my post history was purged before migration.
What are they odds that they kept it in a backup?
Some 4chan users created a backup bot that auto saves every few hours, so if reddit didn’t do it already, 4chan has been doing it for a while. The bot was originally made for 4chan but repurposed for other websites, reddit included.
Yeah, it’s all too late. Shit, PRISM was 2007, so there’s a copy of everything somewhere. Obviously different ends.
Spez like people are even capable of leeching archive.org and still sell the data which was archived for good intentions.
Depends. If they were smart they backed up every content that had a certain number of upvotes and/or a certain number of paragraphs and/or responses. Just to weed out all the 2-3 word comments that no one interacted with. If OP wrote mostly those then Reddit gives a shit about them deleting those.
Welcome to the club.
And this is why I’m not active on any Internet community anymore,
you typed.
Somebody asked chat GPT to appear to be a normal internet user to populate the comments section to manufacture content for normal Internet users to respond to so that they can continue building up their training models.
Active as in “creating meaningful contributions and contributing to the overall knowledge base”. I still shit post from time to time.
This is going to be a really weird thing to argue, but I just casually read through a bunch of your comments and they seem like meaningful contributions.
^ this comment right here, officer.
Well, I guess I can’t help myself… I’ll shitpost more from now on 😅
You couldn’t see the sarcasm because it was set to “hidden”.

Don’t cheat yourself just because there are douches that take advantage…
Gross
One of the original Reddit memes was quite prescient:
Damn it. I haven’t deleted my account due to how many people I’ve supported and helped, I stopped using it while ago. It seems I’ll have to.
I wouldn’t bother. They’ll just mark all your stuff DELETED=1 and feed it to their AI anyway.
That’s not a bad idea.
I’m kind of puzzled by this mindset. You were pleased with supporting and helping people before, but now supporting and helping is bad?
I’m happy that everyone has the support, but not that some specific AI can monetize that same support. I left on my Reddit account ways to contact me (including Lemmy). I helped others so good vibes could reach them, not for making the rich richer.
Fortunately there are a lot of open source models these days too.
i am so glad i deleted all my posts. im sure they have backup hisory though :(.
In before poisoning your comments on Reddit turns into the new protest.
So AI models are not farming the federation?
They probably are, but not the personal/private info like chat/DM, upvotes or downvotes, geolocation, etc which I highly suspect Reddit did sell.
Just FYI, your voting is fully public on Lemmy. DMs are “private” but could be intercepted at the server level of any instances involved (yours and the receiver/sender) and of course your geolocation info is visible to the server.
Not saying that is happening, and not trying to spread FUD, but be aware that your info isn’t necessarily private just because a corpo isn’t directly involved.
You are absolutely right, and I think people should be more aware of this.
Me too, maybe then assholes will stop whining about me of downvoting them when I didn’t. As if it matters.
Considering how much of Reddit is already bots, I’m sure this will end fantastically.

Good. Maybe when it cogitates the things I’ve written it might start offering up some better ideas.
FUCK REDDIT! FUCK U/SPEZ! The Red-exit shall endure, VIVA LA LEMMY!!
Good thing I had multiple bots overwrite my content before I deleted it all. Not that someone couldn’t recover it, I’m not naive. But the AI bots should miss me.
Frankly, if they’re training bots on my comments, I’d be sure to poison the shit out of those comments. Say stuff like ‘Donald trump won the election’, ‘bleach needs to be inside the body to work’, ‘Russia has rights to Ukraine’, etc. Just make the data worthless. Any free bots do that?
Reddit already has plenty of actual users doing that for free.
Any suggestion on the best way to do that?
There is a Plugin RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) for Firefox, which could be run on the classic frontend of Reddit to delete everything you posted. https://www.alphr.com/how-to-delete-all-reddit-posts/
Thank you!
“Its content”, sure.
I feel like AI companies have been scraping Reddit for their datasets already since the beginning and without permission. In fact, unless there’s been a regulation change that i’m not aware of, i’m not sure why they would have Reddit “sign away” the data when they can just scrape it.
Also dubious if the current form of AI has a future. They seem like they should revolutionize every sector when you look at their capacities, but in practice their applications might be more limited than we thought?
Anyway, if Reddit does go public i will be deleting my account within the hour. The only reason i haven’t yet is that i’ve been a moderator of the same subreddit for eight years and it’s the only thing that’s been consistent in my life in that time, i’m kind of attached. The reason i will is i didn’t sign up to create value for shareholders, i signed up to create value for a community.
You need to go ahead and delete your account and give up the ghost on modding whatever sub you are referring to. I’m tired of these types of posts where you are both beholden to Reddit and also not. Pick a dang side.
Pick a dang side.
Bro it’s not a war, it’s social media 😭
I feel like AI companies have been scraping Reddit for their datasets already since the beginning and without permission.
Well yeah, Sam Altman (Open AI) was even on the board of Reddit for a while. It’s a safe bet that they’ve been doing it for years.
You can delete your account all you want I’m sure they have everything archived already.
Could the sub survive a migration to the fediverse?
Well no, because the old sub will continue to exist and will therefore always be where everyone goes until Reddit itself dies. I really doubt admins would let me delete the sub.
