What kind of a boy is spez?
Good, fuck reddit, anybody with an account should delete all comment history.
I provided quite a few answers in Linux, UNIX, and programming forums. I had to delete my comments multiple times as they kept getting restored. I even had a script that I'd run in my browser that would go through and delete all my posts until a month passed with no restorations, then deleted my account. Reddit should never be a Google result for tech help to begin with. It should take you to documentation.
They just added comment history hiding as well, so now you can’t even tell if some people are engaging in good faith anymore.
So I get banned for reporting trolls because it's an "Abuse of the Report Button" AND they make it easier to Troll? Do they just want people not using the site?
@QueenHawlSera @nightlily pretty sure that you just have to consider reddit as having been very much broken for a number of years now.
They erroneously ban good users and encourage the trolls.
The only way the experience is bearable is just to block idiots yourself and not engage.
I couldn't even get them to respond to appeals, so I just deleted the fucking account
I was a paying user who accidentally used an alt account a day before a ban was up.
The ban was ridiculous and unjustified but I understand alt accounts are against the rules. My appeal was rejected.
It was stupid if me to pay in the first place. My profile was linked to my real identity as result.
Like I said, I never got a rejection, they just straight up did not answer my appeal.
@QueenHawlSera lol. they blocked my account for having been created to evade a previous ban. Which was odd. First account there.
Figured it was some automated bollocks they'd be able to check.
Appealed, they reinstated it. Then permabanned it later same day for same reason. Gave up.
Sadly that scans, apparently Reddit is one of the hardest websites to do a ban evade on because it does so many checks. If it gets the slightest whiff of something pertaining to a banned account, they ban you and increase the amount of checks they do.
Not surprised they have false positives.
you cant tell if people are botting/spamming
Whoa since when can you view removed comments?
libreddit instance allows you to do that. one I'm using right now: https://discuss.whatever.social/
note that you have to kinda bounce around from instance to instance as some will be great for a couple weeks then go away or crash and then you have to find another one.
Are there any tools that can edit your comments to make the ingestion of your data into ai models less worthwhile? Eg. The comments are edited to not be random, superficially look like a human made them, but have very little value when sold by reddit
I forget the tool but every once in a while you'll see a comment of gibberish words and it says "comment removed thanks to X".
The service edits the comments instead of erasing them.
I get that it's annoying, but reddit deserves to burn.
Reddit as a company is 100% unaffected by this
100% unaffected? It makes their data worth a lot less for AI training. Even if they keep comment history, these are edits - how do you determine which edit to use? Using all of them poisons the data, and picking one risks doing the same.
On top of that, reddit has quickly become a non-source for opinions... I used to append "reddit" to any search where I wanted candid feedback, but absolutely would never do that these days. That's less traffic, which is less ad money, which comprises the vast majority of their revenue. Reputation is virtually the only thing that matters for search, and Reddit's reputation has been sliding for years.
People paying reddit aren't training their models by scraping the web ui.
The original comments are still in the database, which is what you'd pipe into an LLM.

To an extent they are. Part of the appeal of Reddit was that you could find good answers there. But yeah, the idea that "long term their reputation may suffer" is hardly affecting them in any demonstrable way now.

Good! The users add all the value to that site, moderate if for free and they couldn't even not be cunts about it.
they want propaganda bots mostly now on reddit.
Good for whom?
There's been loads of times where I've looked everywhere for a solution, finally finding it on google page 10+ in an obscure reddit thread with like 10 votes and 4 comments where someone had found a weird, illogical solution to your exact problem, that actually worked.
It's a shame it went to shit. The real losers are us, we lost a lot of knowledge.
That doesn't mean I think they should get to keep that stuff. Sure, we lost a lot of knowledge there, and that sucks. But the company lost out and pushed their IPO way back for it and I enjoy seeing Spez suffer after what he did to Aaron's legacy.
If that's how you feel, that's how you feel. But I personally doubt Reddit as a company have lost out. They still have all the data. And they still have a massive user-base. I'm sure Spez is suffering real bad with his hundreds of millions....
I feel like they lost prestige more broadly but I'm obviously bias being here on Lemmy. We see I guess, I predict them tanking after their IPO.
I really need to go back and delete all my posts, I just dropped it and never went back.
It's a pain in the ass to do it manually. I used this script and it helped a lot.
