I reviewed the Reddit app at 1* because it honestly is a steaming pile of shit sorry excuse for an app, especially considering how long it's been in this state now without any improvement.
The other thing to keep in mind is that looks can be deceiving. Reddit has had over half a month to clean up things like r/all from the fallout of the protests.
Once upon a time (a little over a month ago? Pretty wild to think about) I might have paid to continue to use my 3rd party app of choice (Relay). But now? Not a chance.
As we are on the eve of rexxit - Is there a "best" way to sabotage our posts?
I suppose I see two ways of achieving this - 1) a single AI-response that we edit all posts with; or 2) actually using an AI to "reply", as in different posts which emulate the answers a human would provide but generated by AI
Imo, route 2 would be more time-consuming but harder to 'prevent' from degrading the dataset from reddit's perspective?
I used a free download called Redact to go through all my comments on June 11 and replace with AI language garbage. I did not delete submissions at this time, however, though that is an option in Redact. This process took almost 4 hours because I had two 11+ year old accounts.
Because I started this late at night and am in a specific time zone, a few of the subs I commented in the most had gone dark (midnight of June 12) and my comments could not be edited on my SFW account. In doing this, I was permabanned from several subreddits on my NSFW account.
Today, I opened Redact again to see if I could alter comments/remove submissions on my account that had the most subs go dark. Redact wouldn't even run for my SFW account so I logged in to reddit directly and saw a message that my account had been deactivated, which is why I think Redact was throwing me errors. I manually deleted all my submissions from both my accounts and manually deleted any comments that were original language from me.
I left up the AI edited comments and then deleted both my accounts.
