Rowan, in Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

Yeah, literally un-installed RIF the moment I heard about reddit bs. RIF was reddit to me, so I’m done with that now. Pretty much the only time I open that site now is when I Google “whatever whatever reddit” to find actually useful answers.

rageagainstmachines,

In addition to uninstalling the client (RIF), you should poison your Reddit posts, and then delete your account.

creed10,

unfortunately you can’t automate it anymore, right? I have waaaaay too many comments there to do it manually

rageagainstmachines,

Power Delete Suite still works AFAIK: github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

HobbitFoot, in Does the reddit style format breed toxicity?

It is a problem of an Eternal September. Reddit was set up where the downvote was supposed to mean more than just disagreeing with people, but the influx of users, especially those only participating with Reddit by upvoting and downvoting, couldn’t be taught what you were supposed to do.

Joe_0237,

Eternal September

i genuinely love that i had to look that up, and i learned something! Thanks!

Gabbro, in How do you enjoy listening to digital content? Speakers? Headphones? Earbuds?
@Gabbro@kbin.social avatar

I have a pair of Phillips Fidelio X2HR for my PC where I listen to most things; an unexpected brand compared to the likes of Sony or Sennheiser. I'm considering an upgrade to a close-backed pair of headphones since I don't live alone and my PC space is nearby to the kitchen, so I would like to block sound out.

In the gym out back I use a Google Mini. Living where I am now I haven't needed earbuds for public transport so I don't have any. I will eventually buy a pair for when I go camping and want to watch something on my phone.

Too many headphones lol. Usually my Hifiman Sundara or Modhouse Argon Mk3. I got a Bluetooth amp (xduoo XD-05 plus) to drive them so I can at least stay semi-portable.

colforge, in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?

My musical tastes vary from rock and it’s many subgenres and off shoots to dozens of genres of EDM (mainly Progressive House, Trance, Techno, Psytrance, Dubstep, and Drum & Bass). I have a Spotify library exceeding 12k tracks.

Some of my favorite acts in no particular order include The Offspring, Rise Against, Pearl Jam, Ghost, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Breaking Benjamin, Billy Talent, Linkin Park, Paramore, Deadmau5, Feed Me, Kill The Noise, Liquid Stranger, Dance With The Dead, Ghostland Observatory, Rezz, Eric Prydz, Infected Mushroom, Heatbeat, Death On The Balcony, Hernan Cattaneo, and Lee Burridge just to name a few.

ablackcatstail, in Do I need to remove metadata from pictures before uploading?
@ablackcatstail@lemmy.goblackcat.com avatar

It’s a good idea for the sake of your privacy to remove the metadata from the picture. While for a picture of a pet it is less important, it’s still a good idea to get in the habit of nixing the metadata. Don’t make it easier for you to be tracked and profiled.

apex32,

for a picture of a pet it is less important

What? That would likely give away the location of your home.

mizu6079,
@mizu6079@lemmy.world avatar

Why would it be less important for pet pics though? I think it would be more important because you probably take those pics at home and your home location might get leaked.

Butter_My_Buttcheeks,

Agreed - even if it’s doggo… It has data on it

lasagna, in Do I need to remove metadata from pictures before uploading?
@lasagna@programming.dev avatar

I would suggest getting to the root of the issue and disable it on your camera app.

Butter_My_Buttcheeks,

On to look at the Google app to see if there are settings for it

Wolf, in Do I need to remove metadata from pictures before uploading?

Great question, but also better to remove it yourself just for the peace of mind.

NightOwl,

Yep, safest route is to be cautious and do it yourself if it is enough of a concern.

How do I remove Metadata from my pictures?

Yendor,

On windows, if you check the properties of the file, there’s a button to remove metadata.

On iPhone, if you go into your photos and drag a photo up, you can click “adjust” and remove or edit the location and time/date (it will still have camera data).

vita_man,
@vita_man@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks. How would I do it on an Android phone?

Butter_My_Buttcheeks,

I’m on this boat with ya brotherman

EarlTurlet, in Is there an easy way to bring all my old technical posts from Reddit to Lemmy?
@EarlTurlet@lemmy.zip avatar

Make a GDPR data request to reddit. You’ll get all your comments and posts and a ton of other stuff in CSV format.

Then the hand-wavy part: use the Lemmy API and write a utility to post things.

But definitely get your data.

Mr_Buscemi,
@Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I just got my data request email! It came in after I deleted my account and one of the files stated that lol.

jaschen,

Just requested it. The link for it is here.

www.reddit.com/settings/data-request

Naia,

I should do this. I don’t have a whole lot, but I might archive some stuff I posted on lemmy somewhere.

DanTheMan827, in What replacement for each major social media do you use

Unless the communities you visit move, it’d be very difficult to move entirely.

This applies to discord especially.

They’re more of a compliment to the other social networks in many cases

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Yup. Reddit is 100% gone but Discord remains used for me

Grimlo9ic,
@Grimlo9ic@kbin.social avatar

Same. I've stopped with Reddit since I've never posted there with my real name. No one knew me personally, and I didnt know anyone personally, so my switch to kbin was easy.

My real-life family and friends use Discord, Instagram, Messenger, Twitter, Viber, and WhatsApp, so I'll continue to at least have accounts on those.

Bet you can’t tell how old I am. 😅 IYKYK…

yaycupcake, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
@yaycupcake@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I don’t really enjoy these activities on their own, but I do enjoy some activities that I can do in conjunction. Listening to music or podcasts can be done at the same time as almost any workout. If you are working out at home, you could even watch tv or something. I enjoy being able to play a game or browse the web on my phone if I’m using a stationary bike. Basically what makes it tolerable for me is what I can do at the same time.
