Two things with thumbnails: the photo is cropped, it should resize to the ratio and show everything so we can see the full thumbnail instead of a cropped one. Secondly, can you make it so clicking on an image thumbnail opens the image instead of going into the thread and then needing to click the thumbnail again to expand it/open it. Thanks
When I was a mod, karma points could come in handy when trying to decide if a user 1) just had a one-off weird day and just needed one comment removed, 2) had a slightly questionable comment history and needed to have all comments manually approved or 3) had a history of hate speech and needed to be banned immediately across the associated communities.
I also appreciated in informational subs that karma would allow for the most accurate or additional information to rise to the top. It wasn’t 100% accurate and could really depend upon the sub, particularly the moderation team, but it allowed the drivel or disinformation to be more easily ignored.
Sure, there’s a bit of gamification with made up points, but karma does have it’s uses and I’m hoping that the positive aspects can be brought over to the fediverse.
karma only mattered if you wanted to be a reddit "influencer" i.e. reddit gives you free rewards hoping you will tout them and get others to buy them when they see yours.
source: had a moderate karma count, they gave me a free avatar thing. my lesser accounts didn't receive shit.
I tended to reroll every year anyway. the algos get stale after a while.
I edited and deleted all my posts and comments, yet a google search will show all my comments and posts still there. If I edit and delete the posts from the post page it works, but I did it through my profile and it only hid my comments and didn’t even apply the edits…. Kinda frustrated and have no resolution with Reddit. Waiting to see if my comments are still there in my gpdr request.
This is not how it works. Google has its own copy, possibly a stale one. Nothing Reddit can do about it. As much as I'd love to blame it on Reddit (or Google for that matter), this is just a search engine working as intended.
I accidentally wandered into a Reddit thread via Googling something (it's everywhere) and noticed I had gotten mine as well in a message. Looking through it I don't know how useful it really is to have other than for posterity, but the sad part was in thinking that it was just my comments with no context, and those discussion chains are all but lost. Some probably have missing parts due to deletions, and of course they all would require going to Reddit to even read, unless I can just use the URL to maybe find it in an outside archive?
I know it's more than just Huffman behind all this, but I keep thinking of the quote that one person can make a difference. That difference isn't always a good one, and burning things down is always easier than building.
There are datahoarders out there who have complete copies (at least as complete as physically possible) of every post and comment ever put on Reddit, I've seen torrents of them. They're multiple terabytes, though, so I didn't keep a copy of the link - I'd never download something that big.
They will be preserved, and perhaps someday live again on some piratical website or in the memory of some shady AI.
I suppose someone may want to identify where they made a post from, but it is rather an odd choice. You should be able to turn that off in Android, right? Or is this one of those things GrapheneOS added...
same boat here. Inquired when it did not come in a few days and they said it can take up to 30. I too have had my account for awhile so im glad you posted as maybe that is just the hold up.
I agree with you, since Apollo died last night, I have been exclusively on kbin and lemmyw. I don’t know if it is the novelty or just my wish for reddit to die, I don’t miss Reddit at all. Maybe it is like the feeling of a first day after a break up, while you’re still trying reconnect with yourself again.I will probably keep doing some Google search with Reddit for quick finds from time to time, until Fediverse is matured enough and index by search engine. For now I’m happy to be with your guys. Long life to Fediverse.
I ran the script to delete all my posts and comments on Reddit overnight. When I logged in today I had a new message - an automated reminder I had setup, today was my 9th cakeday on Reddit. Kind of poetic.
I went all out and deleted my account out right. didn't care if my comments or what not cameback they where just to reddit. I hit the frontpage 5x in 6 years but that was crossposted content I found on reddit sorting by rising :P Anyway at least you got everything!
I don't believe so. They'd have to remove identifying information, but my imperfect understanding is outside of that they are allowed to keep the content.
I don’t think I understand federation still. A lot of communities added to lemmy.world aren’t federated to other lemmy instances it seems. At least I can’t subscribe to them from my geddit.social account.
