I'm considering rewriting all of my comments, but I want to do this carefully and correctly because I'd eventually want to delete the account, so I wouldn't be able to make changes
I want to keep it short and sweet, but be informative, make very good points, and hopefully persuade any user to try out the fediverse
What did you guys change yours to? I'm thinking something along the lines of this:
This comment has been rewritten so that its' content is removed. On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit. This hurts many types of users, and the way that the CEO has handled the situation is not right at all. Reddit is another victim of pure corporate greed.
Some may not consider this important to them, but for anyone who sees this, I strongly encourage you to join the fediverse. It will be confusing at first, but it is very welcoming :)
Alternative platforms:
I feel like it's too wordy (I tend to ramble). I'm trying to find compact "elegantly worded" reasons about what's going on and why it's wrong, with links of good posts, but a lot of that is on reddit. Can you guys help a bro out?
I'm having a really hard time deciding but I'm leaning towards agreeing with you on leaving my history up for posterity.
I am, however, also leaning towards trying to use power delete suite to append all my comments with a message encouraging migration to the fediverse.
Can you do that with PDS? I didn't know that it supported that.
Someone else had a similar question not too long ago - see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/83362/Is-there-a-bulk-Reddit-edit-tool-that-DOESN-T-overwrite
Maybe not... I haven't actually put any time into researching the things I've seen people suggest so far really... It was suggested by someone somewhere that it might be possible I think...
If it isn't possible it'd be a whole lot cooler if it was...
There are actually a couple of different versions lying around. Even if none of them support it, if you are a JS dev then I would expect that adding this kind of ability to it should be fairly quick and easy.
