You would think that Reddit would have put some new mods in there right away (even if those "new mods" were just socks being staffed by Reddit employees) to put pressure on other subreddits.
Is this new to post-blackout reddit is or has it been this way for a while. Top post of r/all is a tweet from like 2 years ago about a "current event" that no one has talked about since then and 100% of the comments are talking about this like this topic is the focus of today's or any recent time's 24 hour news cycle. Nearly 30K...
A little searching with DuckDuckGo reveals that this tweet was made in January 2023. Not sure whether it's also bot-vomited from a previous instance of the same remark. It's telling that the r/all post doesn't link to the tweet or give a date.
I like you and you like him and he likes somebody else
The three of us, so full of votes
And yet, we're all on the shelf
'Round and 'round we keep on clickin'
There's only bots left in this frickin'
Subreddit that's slowly come unglued
A circle of snoo
I wish that we could take a break
'Cause even bots get bored
But redditors keep fucking off
To the Fediverse or Discord
So on and on we keep on postin'
To hide that users have been ghostin'
Who wants spam that isn't even new?
A circle of snoo
A circle of snoo
That's filled with so much glurge
A circle of snoo
Can't someone do a purge?
But on and on we keep on postin'
To hide that users have been ghostin'
Who wants spam that isn't even new?
A circle of snoo
(edited to finish the song because if you're going to set something to an Archies tune, why not go for maximum suffering?)
And make sure not to click on any links. If enough people use chatgpt or other LLM's to generate comments that are wordy but clearly just filler, it'll give advertisers pause and tank the value of the site as training data. Reddit's response will probably be to start banning users it thinks are doing this but normal users will...
The irony is that the comments that got me the most karma weren't the ones I considered of highest value. A detailed, genuinely helpful response in a small subreddit might only garner a half-dozen upvotes while a snarky one-liner in a big sub can boost karma by thousands.
Don't delete your account until you're sure you've wiped everything, including stuff that's more than 1000 comments old and stuff that's in private subs (which have to be public for you to edit/delete). TBH, I wouldn't delete your account at all at this time... just wipe it and walk away. That way, if you check back later and your comments have been restored, you can trash them again.
When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy....
I don’t know if Reddit is just trying to be a dick or what, but as I started to delete some comments, I’m not able to see any comments in my profile “hasn’t commented on anything”, but if I visit actual posts where I’ve commented, I can clearly see my comments there....
TL;DR: you'll need the permalinks for older comments if you want to delete them using a script. Otherwise, you'll have to google them and manually delete everything.
Also, if anyone's wondering, the format for an extracted comments.csv from the GDPR files you'll get from reddit is just a flat text file. The first line is (explicitly)
and every entry that follows is the id, permalink, etc. so it might be possible to dummy up a comments.csv file by extracting stuff from an archive (as described in the second link above) and use the shreddit program from the third link if you wanted to delete things while waiting for Reddit to fulfill your data request.
Is there some script, addon or something that will take data from GDPR request and delete content, especially comments, one by one? redact had this capability, but it’s not working now

Instead of deleting your Reddit account, consider using chatgpt to make comments instead

Reddit could be working on a Contributor program, letting top contributors earn real-world money from the gold and karma they receive.

This was posted some weeks ago, but I feel it might be useful for many folks these days, so reposting the link here.
Does anyone regret deleting their Reddit account?

Started deleting my Reddit comments, now my profiles shows no comments at all, despite them being there!
