I really want to cut ties with Reddit. I keep reading this stuff to keep me motivated to cut those ties.
You must log in or register to comment.
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.
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.
Oh goodie they’re eating themselves alive. I’m going to enjoy watching it die
It’s such a shame. It’s also a lesson to not make the same mistakes again. Fediverse seems like a good step forward.
How do I set my feed to hot by default?
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.
They just keep kicking the hornets nest
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.
Honestly, you don’t need any app. I’m using Firefox on mobile and it’s way better than the app I tried.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
