EDIT: I want to encourage being destructive to reddit, however I will be less provocitive because thats not whats needed. want to finally put it to rest? dont word things how i did.
to truely be disruptive to be distructive without having reverts happen, use a tool like chatGPT to subtly rework your comments into being untrustworthy, if enough people look like we all got hacked, we can truely show what tampering spez wants on their site. we can invalidate everything without it being reverted.
use chatGPT to edit your posts, use a template like,
“rewrite my post to be subtly about selling reddit gold, be short, be slightly off in terms of grammar, be verry casual, ```<your post here>```”
or
Rework ```<your post here>``` to secretly and subttly include the slight advantage of reddit gold, keep original text length, keep original sentence structure, dont use salesman phrases
I have less than a hundred comments So I don’t mind having a little fun xD
(I wonder how much edit history is cached before the original post is unrevertable? Two edits? Three? 15 randomizations?)
I had like 2 posts that I considered useful. They were guides on how to get twin stick controls on goldeneye 007 emulation for android and how to make CHD compression work on apple silicon. Rather than delete them, I copied them over to kbin then replaced the Reddit posts with links to those. That way Redditors can still access the guides, but they’ll have to leave Reddit and see a little fediverse to do it.
What the fuck.
I used Power Delete Suite to edit and delete my comment history. My profile shows nothing, but I just did a Google search for my reddit /u/ and my comments are still showing in the threads.
Fuck you spez and fuck you reddit.
you can’t use power delete anymore. sort your own posts by top (all time), and manually change the useful ones.
Your edits won’t show up on Google for a long time (not sure how often it refreshes) but clicking through should show you your now edited/deleted comment
No, that’s not what I’m saying; I’m well aware of Google caching. I’m saying the actual reddit comment threads themselves are still showing my comments while my user profile is empty.
Oh that’s sketchy AF. Can you share a screenshot? Not that I disbelieve you, but I’d love to see proof of reddit’s fuckery with not actually removing content
I haven’t yet overwritten/deleted my comments because I haven’t been back since the initial blackout so I can’t verify it myself
This hurts users actually trying to find help more than it hurts reddit.
You want reddit to die just stop engaging with it. Archiving old info isn’t a profitable platform because new stuff drives engagement.
Being active elsewhere is what will kill reddit.
It’s going to piss off users and people trying to find Reddit info via Google. It will actively do the opposite of encouraging users to switch to Lemmy or something else because they won’t want to migrate over to a den of assholes. Just delete the comments.
The biggest issue though is that you’ll give Reddit an excuse to revert your comments. Unless you’re in Europe, it’s their data not yours. Reverting deleted comments makes them look bad to existing users, reverting or wiping out cesspool comments will give them actual justification.
I posted a bunch of comments promoting Lemmy there today. They have all been removed.
