I don't want to be "this guy", but what we have here is a screenshot of a Tweet post without even a link or a date. It's the best way to go back to the same old system that we have left behind us. This is whitepeopletwitter in a nutshell.
Edit, seriously it looks like you framed a "motivation speech". Just post the link to the text, don't screenshot a text, we cannot do anything with it. We have the tools now, use them
No. Look at the image again, we don't have the instance of the user.
also it's just a comment with someone's opinion. what is the issue exactly
It's a motivation speech. Add a parrot and you have an "advice animals". Have you not noticed how reddit became this repository of snapshot of Tweets and tiktioks? That's what you want?
But look at what we lose in the process of screenshooting a post:
We cannot write an answer to the OP
We have no follow-up of the conversation started by the original post
OP cannot edit his screenshot
OP cannot answer our discussion
OP doesn't even know that his post is discussed elsewhere
We have no connection with OP between our instance and his.
In short, we have lost all the advantages of the fediverse, for what? For the graphics, for the white on black background which reminds of Twitter. It's a terrible trade.
That being said, there's been instances (especially with regards to certain politicians on Twitter) where having the screenshot has been paramount, as the original post gets deleted.
Editing what you said is a right. You have the right to change your opinion. It's in fact a virtue. If you see something interesting in the comment, use the symbol and edit your post, and say that you changed your mind.
Link the original post and be done with it. Risk of the original post being deleted, making your post useless.
I like it. If you think you posted by mistake, if there was a misunderstanding or if you fucked up..... well, I think it's a good idea that the fediverse allows you to make things right.
Link a screenshot. You could add the link to the original post in the comments
Forget the screenshots. It's like using binary with git.
Just make it live, use the fediverse as it is supposed to be used and see where it leads us. We'll see how Ernest & Co can make something based on the fediverse which makes the process way more fluent and intuitive.
100 per minute is faster than the speed at which I deleted my history. So I guess we can still help people deleting their history.
I used the archive which is shared around and extracted my posts to get the id of my comments and deleted those, like 30 per minute. But I guess that if we rebuild a database with the author as a key then we can pretty quickly return a list of id's based on an author. Then the user can feed this list to a python script by himself and delete himself.
What I couldn't do in time is edit the posts as I ran in some weird index errors that I couldn't bypass.
Be patient, if you want your content deleted you will have an efficient way to do it soon. Don't count on reddit to do this for you. It seems we have enough access to the API to do it ourselves.
They wanted out anyway, Microsoft wants control and they were using Reddit just like DJI is using reddit: they were a bit forced to follow. This is a perfect opportunity to leave and make the support happen on their own platform. Other big brands will be inspired and will leave reddit too.
They probably have a monitoring tool watching content being edited. Do not make it too easy for the admin to restore your posts. You can use the python script that is posted around to change part of your posts, not all of them in one bunch, fill them with garbage like AI content (not just "deleted").
They have enough time to create these monitoring tools, but they have no time building a sane official app, go figure.
Of course reddit runs his own ones! It is their business to keep people scrolling. The real question is why would there be anyone else running the bots. To sell an account? You can get this with 3 posts in /awww... no need for spam bots.
