News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
 

I was just browsing a thread on c/nfl looking for new mods. There were multiple 12+ year Redditors there offering to help.

Got me wondering. There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?

Edit: I didn't expect this post to be as poignant as it became. There are so many of you... I can't reply to everyone. I'm an 11 year user and have modded something like 150 subs over the years. I'm really sad too, but I'm finding that lemmy has most of the content I'm looking for, just needs more comments.

The API was a big blow, but removing awards on past posts and deleting coin balances is really dumb.

13 years on Reddit. I was part of the Great Digg Exodus... now the Great Reddit Exodus.

I deleted all my comments on Reddit, all of my posts, and then toasted my user account just before the API deadline. Not looking back.

13 years, but I didn't come from Digg. My pal in college showed it to me.

I noticed one day that the entire front page was imgur links. It was a steady decline.

It was still okay when I nuked my account, but I wanted to spend less time on social media, anyway.

I like Lemmy well enough, but I don't spend as much time on it as I did reddit/Facebook.

Dropped both. Pop in to the fediverse a couple times a day on my phone and pop out.

Learning Linux. Not missing a lot of my old spots like I thought I would.

That'd put me at 15+ years prolly. I remember how salty people were about the digg refugees.

Is there a tool for deleting everything prior the account itself?

[–] Sparlock@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Power delete suite

[–] Numpty@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I used a Tampermonkey script called Reddit History Sanitiizer: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/23605-reddit-history-sanitizer/code

You can modify it to do what you want… Power Delete Suite works too. There’s a lot more out there, especially now.

Are you sure about that? There were some reported cases of Reddit bringing back the content. They only listen to GDPR complaints (or that one Californian equivalent).

[–] Numpty@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Son-of-a-bitch. I just searched with Google... and almost ALL my old comments are back. The user attribution is [deleted], but almost all the content of 13 or 14 years of comments has been restored. In a few cases, a top-level comment has not been restored, but everywhere in sub-comment conversations, I see my old content... content I know I explicitly deleted.

So, even though I explicitly deleted my contributions, they ignored and restored it. What an asshole move by the Reddit admins. And of course, now that my account has been deleted there's no way to follow up and re-remove all my contributions.

I wonder. Considering that the vast majority of my comments on Reddit were done while I lived in Europe if I can use GPRD and insist they remove it all.
