[This comment was deleted in response to Reddit’s June 2023 API changes. Consider migrating to Kbin or Lemmy.]
That would communicate the same message with way, way fewer words.
I was just permanently banned from /r/damnthatsinteresting (which currently does not have any mods) for a 4-month old comment I edited with PDS.
It sounds like they very much don’t like that we are doing this :)
My edit read a lot like the first post here, but I didn’t mention the fediverse at all. I did say that I used Power Delete Suite, though.
No swearing, nothing like that.
It had around 150 upvotes at the time of edit.
That sub (and many others) have odd rules right now as a part of the protest. Some have gone as far as making everyone a moderator.
This likely has nothing to do with reddit inc directly.
What the heck?!!! If there are no mods then who's doing the banning???
Spaz
I just went with
[ deleted ]
I would recommend sending people to the all-kbin-instances landing at https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list rather than sending them directly to kbin.social, which seems to be causing issues for Ernest due to crowding. The nature of the fediverse is that we should be spreading out.
I automatically replaced my many years of comments with long strings of randomly-selected words, then deleted them.
This way, if they do bulk-restore deleted comments, they'll have swallowed a poison-pill since my comments will actually be harmful rather than helpful to the LLM learning Spez wants to profit from.
I just wrote:
"this comment was deleted in protest of Reddit API policy changes"
I was bored, so I pulled the most recent 50 comments, fed them into a Markov chain generator, and asked for a new response for every comment I edited. Then I aimed the Power Delete Suite at it, because I am of the opinion that I don't want my data to appear on Reddit. For me, "Fuck you, I'm out," is a far more powerful message than anything I could say about corporate greed.
I'm inviting people to Lemmy/kbin with this rn
but when I do delete it after Sync for Lemmy is out, I'll replace them with
Reddit has killed off third party apps and most bots along with their moderation tools, functionality, and accessibility features that allowed people with blindness and other disabilities to take part in discussions on the platform. All so they could show more ads in their non-functional app.
Consider moving to Lemmy/kbin, two better and compatible alternatives to reddit (picture explains how) that many subs and users have moved to: sub.rehab
Reddit Sync's dev has turned the app into Sync for Lemmy (Android) instead, and Memmy for Lemmy (iOS) is heavily inspired by Apollo.
You only need one account on any Lemmy or kbin server/instance to access everything; doesn't matter which because they're all connected. Lemmy.world, Lemm.ee, vlemmy.net, kbin.social, fedia.io are all great for example.
Deleted most of my comments but ones that reddit restored and the ones I haven't deleted have been replaced with chatgpt rephrasing so the comments is still relevant but LLM would hate it.
I said this:
"This user moved to the Fediverse after nearly 10 years on the site due to the proposed API changes Reddit announced in early June 2023."
My comment was even longer and wordier than yours. Feel free to make it more concise - but in your place I would just use what you've written without any further revision.
Can I ask what tools people are using to mass edit their Reddit comments?
