Boost still working for me. Just checked

Welcome aboard and thank you for your service!

FYI see also https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the (no worries if you're cool with it, but just wanted to make sure you understood the limitations of PDS and weren't surprised by posts or comments remaining after PDS claimed to wipe everything out)

tias,

Go figure. After three days of my profile being completely empty, there are suddenly at least 30 pages of submissions that have returned.

abff08f4813c,

Even after you manually wiped using the links in your archive? If you just used PDS though it might be that reddit did some reindexing to make older stuff show up again, or a sub or a few going unprivate.

tias,

Nah it’s 13K comments, I can’t wipe them all manually. It could be as you say that PDS doesn’t see comments in private subs. In that case I’ll need to find something that lets me feed it all the links.

abff08f4813c,

Ah, recommend trying out https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit - that one you can feed your archive and it will figure out the links on its own

tias,

Thanks. There’s been a lot of talk lately about comments not being properly deleted or Reddit restoring them after deletion. But I figure I can just run PDS multiple times over the next couple of weeks to get the ones that it didn’t catch on the first run. In any case, the “comments” section in my profile comes up empty right now.

I did do a full export through the request form on Reddit before going through with this. I had a total of 13K comments to wipe.

Warped, in People in /r/redditalternatives are talking about a "Reddit 2.0" What website would fill that role?
@Warped@kbin.social avatar

The problem is, many want a second Reddit. I and most here want something better than Reddit. Also, those that stayed with Reddit will not move until a precise copy is available, and someone holds their hand to help them move to this new platform. So many are plain lazy, hence so many stupid questions, because these idiots can't use Google. They want others to do it all for them.

So they can talk all they like about Reddit 2.0, but they are too lazy to find it, move to it, and shape it into what they want.

I checked the BoostForLemmy community, but there's no new posts discussing the matter.

Checked r/boost, it's literally all memes of people joking about using the official Reddit app when they're still using boost.

The dev only made a post on here advertising Boost for Lemmy, and never anything else. Apparently they aren't very active generally.

So yeah, no clue on my end.. sure curious to know what's going on though.

Gargleblaster, in For those in the know about privacy laws and the such. What is a proper response to reddit's claim that they cannot remove all the information associated to an account without first the user removing all of their posts?
@Gargleblaster@kbin.social avatar

I don't have a solution to your question, but I started deleting my account annually so that it was harder to track me, spy on me, and sell my information.

Before I started doing that, I had an account with 900,000 karma. When you asked for your account to be deleted, the Reddit automated response was 'Are you sure you want to do this? After one month, all of your content will be deleted.' And that's what happened. If I look on reddit, my posts were gone. On google, I could find people mentioning my username but not any actual posts by that account.

TLDR: They used to threaten you with deleting all of your posts, and, based on my experience, they did exactly that with my old account.

It's kinda funny to see them flip to threatening to keep your content.

Addiction.

Probably a terminally online user who has to have their subreddits

Just look at the majority of the comments at r/soccer when they went private in protest

Gargleblaster, in What's your opinion on cross-posting?
@Gargleblaster@kbin.social avatar

Now that I've been here a couple of weeks, kbin.social is chock full of recent reddit immigrants saying we need this, this, and this. Are these people going to do the programming? Nope.

We need to focus on posting, responding and communicating so that this place has more content.

People who will remain at an exploitative corporate website to avoid the inconvenience are not people I'm interested in trying to sell the fediverse to.

Another situation where a company profits off of people communicating with each other.

Froyn, in What is purpleorxis7 smoking?

Sounds pretty much on-point for the average Reddit user. You can see content creator comments surrounding it.

LostXOR, in What is purpleorxis7 smoking?

Maybe they're just unaware.

NevermindNoMind, in The Reddit moderators who coordinate many celebrity AMAs will no longer do so

Mods will stop doing the following

Active solicitation of celebrities or high profile figures to do AMAs.

Email and modmail coordination with celebrities and high profile figures and their PR teams to facilitate, educate, and operate AMAs. (We will still be available to answer questions about posting, though response time may vary).

Running and maintaining a website for scheduling of AMAs with pre-verification and proof, as well as social media promotion.

Maintaining a current up-to-date sidebar calendar of scheduled AMAs, with schedule reminders for users.

Sister subreddits with categorized cross-posts for easy following.

Moderator confidential verification for AMAs.

Running various bots, including automatic > flairing of live posts “Moving forward, we’ll be allowing most AMA topics, leaving proof and requests for verification up to the community, and limiting ourselves to removing rule-breaking material alone,” the moderators added. “This doesn’t mean we’re allowing fake AMAs explicitly, but it does mean you’ll need to pay more attention.”

It’s wild that Reddit basically had a volunteer PR department. Good for them for essentially shutting that shit down.
