The choice is between āJohn Oliver, Chiijohn, and their lookalikes bein adorableā and returning to normal.
The last time Iām visiting reddit
please dont let it be your last time.
- you could talk about lemmy and maybe bring people here
- You could bring your old posts here
- you could exchange your messages with nonsense:
https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/146lloj /protip_if_you_replace_the_content_of_your/
ā: if you replace the content of your posts/comments with nonsense, youāll make Reddit Inc. (including its CEO) lose money.ā
"Thereās 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, Googleās BERT, Facebookās Galactica, stuff like this. In other words, your content will be used to train bots. (It is, already.)
Those models can be āpoisonedā 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. Itās for desktop users but youāll likely be able to do the same from a phone browser.
- [Choose 1/3] Open Zompistās gen. Take off the line saying āki|Äiā, and click āGenerateā. Youāll get some random babble like āBepe 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 āprepare local backup of itemsā, if you want to save your content elsewhere.
- Uncheck āremove commentsā. You want to replace them with babble, not remove them.
- [Optional] uncheck āremove postsā. It depends if you post mostly self posts or if you post links/pics. Use your reasoning.
- Check āEdit comments / self postsā. It should open an input box for text; place the babble from Zompistās gen there. Then click āprocessā.
- Just wait!
- [Optional] Click to download the backup of the items.
If you donāt like Zompistās 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 iāve made. But whatās 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 donāt have the scores hidden and āreturn 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.
