please dont let it be your last time.

  1. you could talk about lemmy and maybe bring people here
  2. You could bring your old posts here
  3. you could exchange your messages with nonsense:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/146lloj /protip_if_you_replace_the_content_of_your/

ā€œ: if you replace the content of your posts/comments with nonsense, youā€™ll make Reddit Inc. (including its CEO) lose money.ā€

"Thereā€™s a good chance that those API price changes were motivated by large businesses using Reddit to train their large language models (LLMs) with. Stuff like GPT-3, Googleā€™s BERT, Facebookā€™s Galactica, stuff like this. In other words, your content will be used to train bots. (It is, already.)

Those models can be ā€œpoisonedā€ with random, machine generated nonsense. Poisoned data is worse than useless: it makes the model worse. So for each person replacing their Reddit content with nonsense, those businesses will be willing to pay Reddit Inc. less and less for API access."

"Here is a mini-tutorial on how to do this. Itā€™s for desktop users but youā€™ll likely be able to do the same from a phone browser.

  • [Choose 1/3] Open Zompistā€™s gen. Take off the line saying ā€œki|čiā€, and click ā€œGenerateā€. Youā€™ll get some random babble like ā€œBepe topioi kabi brete i kropraā€, copy it somewhere.
  • [Choose 2/3] Open https://sebpearce.com/bullshit/ to get an entire bullshit article
  • [Choose 3/3] Open https://nonsense.x2d.org/ to get a bullshit sentence, i suggest getting a few ones.
  • Open your Reddit profile and drag the button of Power Delete Suite to it.
  • [Optional] Check the box saying ā€œprepare local backup of itemsā€, if you want to save your content elsewhere.
  • Uncheck ā€œremove commentsā€. You want to replace them with babble, not remove them.
  • [Optional] uncheck ā€œremove postsā€. It depends if you post mostly self posts or if you post links/pics. Use your reasoning.
  • Check ā€œEdit comments / self postsā€. It should open an input box for text; place the babble from Zompistā€™s gen there. Then click ā€œprocessā€.
  • Just wait!
  • [Optional] Click to download the backup of the items.

If you donā€™t like Zompistā€™s gen and/or Power Delete Suite, you can use any generator and/or Reddit mass edition tool of your choice."

and yes, i am somewhat still on reddit but i think i do more against them when my app does not work anymore (to spread lemmy or information) i will follow this process

Already deleted my 10+ years account, before i know this. And before i know that Reddit could easily revert back the changes that iā€™ve made. But whatā€™s done is done. Now i just want to focus on this Fediverse community. Never felt so great to be part of a growing community

A bunch of subs have been asking their users the same thing - some donā€™t have the scores hidden and ā€œreturn to normalā€ was losing in all of them when I voted!

/r/pics was originally hidden, I think just because they were new comments. I check after a few hours and it was like 34k upvotes for john and like -8k on the return to normal comment.

Its a good idea to screenshot any you come across in case they change later there is evidence of tampering
