Reddit

Does anybody knows how do I get them permanently deleted or I'm powerless against it?

Gotta be honest, watching the titles of the posts getting deleted made me a bit nostalgic, because it was an almost 5yo account.

However, now that's old news, and my account is totally gone.

I won't miss it really, I like Lemmy a lot more.

Hi, I think I'm finally done with Reddit. I haven't log in for many days, and the 2 minutes I've spent on the web site I just thought "Eh, this site really sucks, everything is slow, isn't loading on my slow connecting, and is an overall pain".

If you know who am I you know I have no shortage of Throwaway accounts if I need to check something, but I wanted to delete my main account, the one with over 200K karma and still 45 coins (I didn't pay for them, someone gave me gold a while ago).

I don't wanna spend an eternity manually removing everything, so I wonder if there is a tool that does it for me quickly, before I delete the account.

Spez has been stripped of it's most powerfull communication tool because now we have an open source decentralized version of it :)

I've recently contacted Reddit support in order to prepare my ten year old account for deletion. Although all official sources say, that they don't offer refunds for Premium, I tried to get at least a part of the 50$ (yearly membership; last renewal in Feb 2023) back. To my surprise, they've actually refunded me the full amount.

Three things which might be important:

1. I'm from the EU, so maybe this only works in countries/states with strong consumer protection laws; their response came from their legal support team
2. I used the recently announced discontinuation of awards and coins as reason for my refund; they advertised monthly coins as a Premium feature back when I started my subscription, so not delivering them anymore might be false advertising (IANAL)
3. I've bought Premium using a browser; I don't know if refunds are handled differently when it has been bought via Google Play or the App Store

So if you want to delete your account, due to the ongoing enshittification, and have an active Premium subscription, you might want to try to get your money back. Despite Reddit's official stance.

Reddit had an outage a few months back and had an awesome write up about their troubleshooting and reengineering of their k8s set up. Does anyone have a link to that? I can't for the life of me find it.

This might be the dumbest shit I've ever said, but seems like a valid way to solve the bot problem? Definitely no existing coin or anything like that, but I feel like place is one of those things where if you could solve the logistical problems, it could easily become a staple of the internet with a long rich lore.

As you might know by now, I'm a story faker on Reddit, or I was. I haven't even opened Reddit in days and I'm detoxing.

However, I wonder what are your opinions on fake Reddit stories. Some people seem to take them very seriously, but I don't know what a bigger amount of people think about it. Do you care? You don't care? You find them entertaining? Or it makes you upset when you discover a story is fake?

What if you realized a story that deals in heavy topics turns out to be fake? Something that real people might have real trauma about?

I'm kinda beating myself for making so many fake stories and I'm overthinking a lot about what people really think about it, maybe I'm making it a bigger deal in my head than what it really is.

For the first time ever, when i screenshotted it said “Wait! Don’t screenshot! this post looks better when you share it.” I’ve screenshotted plenty before and never seen this. Are they really that desperate for interaction?

I can't believe how pro-reddit sentiment is. It's like a totally different reality.

I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence, but I raised a case with the ICO in the UK, and today they got back to me asking for all my communication with Reddit. Also today - after a month of silence - Reddit also emailed me with this

If you’re in the UK and had been affected by posts being restored, I’d recommend contacting the ICO. It takes less than 5 minutes

There's a QR code on r/place that links here and it seems some of the pixels are suddenly changing without any users attached to those changes -- unlike everywhere else

was a 5 year redditor before bailing last month but never paid attention to r/place until now (fascinating!)

can someone familiar with the inner workings of it please explain to me how it logistically works?

like how do they coordinate creating the flags, logos -- most importantly the "fuck spez" messages'.

i believe i read a user can only change one pixel every so often? if true, how is it determined who puts something down, who goes next ...etc.

any light anyone can shed on this would be much appreciated!

For anyone who still has the reddit app: Lets convert some Redditors to our side by replacint one of the fuckspez to "join-lemmy.org"
