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.

You can still delete manually. I sorted my comments by top and edited them to gibberish.
Some people have mentioned their posts being reverted back after those kind of edits.
Man, it's a damned good thing my posts and comments never add any value to the conversation.
Seriously though, while I haven't deleted my account yet, in the hope that maybe thing could shift, if/when I do I would like to remove my content.
Is there a known way to remove posts and comments from reddit? I guess they can always just restore from backups. Maybe instead of replacing with "." or gibberish, making a simple copy pasta to replace them with so it isn't so obvious.
I should check mine. I deleted everything (that I had patience and time for) that had a lot of upvotes.
I wish I had left some of the helpful stuff that I deleted because I still find myself getting led to Reddit when searching for phone related fixes.
That's my dilemma too - on the one hand, I want to delete my stuff (not that much of it is worth anything anyway), because fuck the way Reddit has acted and will monetise it.
On the other hand, if anything I ever posted was good/useful/helpful/amusing to other people, then I don't want to remove that just for the sake of spiting Spez.
Haven't been back to Reddit since the blackout, except once when I accidentally clicked a google search result to a post there (illustrating my point about potentially helping other people). Don't really miss it either. Lemmy is great, and I'm glad to see that so far it has lasted beyond the initial rush.
