News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Editing everything to jibberish has a negative impact on Reddit and Google searches of Reddit. It's better than deleting since it still takes up database space:
Something like DROP_TABLE ALL;
Thanks for the hint. What does
mean?
Also would you say random text that doesn't make sense is better or just copy pasting a paragraph from somewhere? Or just a one liner like: "Moved to Lemmy."?
I would not make it too easy to filter out the edited comments. So replacing all with the same paragraph may not be the best idea. Some variation apears to be the key to me.
That said, I like the idea of pointing to Lemmy.
It is kind of a joke.

It is SQL command and implies to delete or drop a database table
Ah lol my bad. Thanks for clarifying 😅
No problem there’s a XKCD for almost every thing
Encode a link to lemmy in base64 and put that as your edit.
Would have done it myself if I'd have thought of that before.
Whats the benefit of encoding it? Others might not know what that even is.
If you put "Lemmy" in your comments, Reddit will flag that instantly for removal or restoration (even though this is illegal in EU). If you put gibberish or base64, Reddit is too dumb to know to put that in their automatic detection tools.
Got it. Wow they really seem to go all the way asshole mode on this. Maybe someone sues them. It's really not acceptable.
It's an SQL command to delete the database named All. A lil programmer humor.
Either is good but I personally want to use maximum allowed characters and maybe Shakespeare. The more bot-like and irrelevant the better
