SNOOcalypse - document, discuss, and promote the downfall of Reddit.

Looks like another hostile takeover.

Original link.

Apparently the admins aren't too happy with the new form of protest that Reddit moderators found, since NSFW subs don't run ads. Brought to Reddit users by the zombie admin account u/ModCodeOfConduct!

The admins also removed the entire mod team of r/MildlyInteresting (original link) and replaced it with either employees or sycophants, while giving all mods a 7d suspension ban.

Reddit: "subs belong to the community!"

Also Reddit: "screw the community, this is MY PRECIOUS!"

I'm willing to bet that r/ModCoord will be eventually banned. And the ban message will say something cryptic, vague, and meaningless.

Dev just announced it. I'm so happy.

Hi guys, starting today I'm implementing 37 new rules for this community. All members are expected to read and memorise all of them before posting or commenting, under the risk of permaban.

Okay, I'm joking with the above.

Serious now: I'm creating this metathread so you guys can give me some feedback on the community. Specially criticism; feel free to voice issues, concerns, and what have you.

EDIT, Jun/26: given the general lack of criticism here I'm unpinning the thread. Still, if you got issues with the community, please do voice them out here.

Edit:

Official Lemmy Community:

https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy

UNIVERSAL SUBSCRIBE LINK

This should open the community in your instance

If you still have a reddit account, please hop in the reddit comments to show support.

Whether you used Sync or not, we could all use more app competition in this space.

So i have purged my comments and post as far as possible with "power Delete Suite" And indeed nothing shows up in my post and comment history. But hen i search for my username on reddit a LOT of my post and comments are still their although not in any of my account history.

I have read that reddit has a limit to only show the last 1000 comments/posts in your history. You would think that after each deletion more old stuff would show up in your history as that is now the last 1000 comments/posts. Seems like this isnt the case though.

Anyone knows how to remove this without deleting every post and comment manually?

EDIT1: Also just tried out using this on google search "site:reddit.com username" this finds also a load more even

It's not in the fediverse, but it's interesting as evidence of a migration away from reddit.

If the archive link doesn't open for you, here's the original link. A few highlights:

• Since RR is not monetised, it'll likely survive the APIcalypse
• The dev is still concerned about Reddit's tragetory
• The dev is in contact with Lemmy devs.
• "My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy, and perhaps others such as Tild.es and Hacker News."

i cannot stress this enough, do NOT run the command ffmpeg -filter_complex "nullsrc=s=1920x1080,geq=random(1)*255:128:128[vout]" -map "[vout]" -t 46 -c:v libx264 out.mp4 in order to generate one of these large video files then upload them en masse in order to slow down their servers,

#1 on r/all right now, help keep it there for max visibility

So in their reply they basically give me the standard "delete your posts and comments manually, then delete your account through this form" spiel, to which I could technically reply that it is their responsibility to delete the data and not mine.

However, if possible I would like to keep my reddit account for a little longer so I can still see posts that are helpful, at least until the fediverse kicks off totally. I assume that under GDPR I cant specify which data I would like deleted and which kept, its either all or nothing, so I'll avoid asking them to remove it all for the time being.

However from a GDPR standpoint, if I dont delete my account as well in additin to posts+comments and notice that 6 months down the line theyve brought back some of my content without my consent even after I delete it, could I take action against them?

How should I word my reply to them notifying them that even though it is their job I will be deleting my posts and comments but not the account, so that I am legally covered for the future?

Thanks in advance everyone!

What are people's thoughts on how Reddit is coming out of this so far? How bad have things been for Reddit? Do we know how much their traffic has dropped and would a drip in traffic even hurry them that much. Why don't we see talk of a new blackout at the end of the month?

I have been increasingly having to re-run my purge scripts across multiple accounts, despite not being on reddit for a few weeks now. The longer i wait between logging in and purging comments, the more appear.

And they do appear quasi-random, as if they page/comments get restored when another user pulls/visits an older page.

How does this even square with privacy regulations anyhow. If a user wants to delete their comments, forcibly restoring them against their will is, at best, unseemly.
