  yeah sucks that reddit alienated all of their most intelligent users

    Yep. Reddit shouldn’t have pushed so many power users out.

  It’s funny when people on lemmy complain about this, when a month ago everyone on lemmy was deleting their reddit post history.

  source

  • bobs_monkey@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Deleting or using an overwrite script, and the reasoning was because in addition to pushing out 3rd party apps, douchecanoe Huffman was opening up reddit’s post history to LLM training, so that was us giving him the finger on the way out. While I agree it sucks for people looking at it from an internet archival perspective, at the time it seemed more imperative to jab the crap out of him and reddit as a business.

      What’s so bad about that? Even on Lemmy I’m posting things in public, intended to be read by the public, and if somebody wants to train AI on what I’ve given to the public then good for them. I refuse to use a walled garden. Being proprietorial about online posts is probably not the most effective response to online surveillance. I agree that Huffman is a douchecanoe though.

      I think many people just did it because Reddit still benefits from the Google traffic. I wanted results from Reddit to be less useful and I want people to be frustrated when they go to find an answer on Reddit and see it no longer exists.

    It started early June. That was 3 months ago.

      Oh boy time is flying. I can’t believe I’ve been on Lemmy over 3 months, and have barely used reddit in that time (only for finding answers to my technology questions, like OP lol). I used reddit daily for mant years and quit cold turkey.

  Aside from not wanting to send any traffic their way, this is another reason I’ve excluded Reddit from my private search engine’s results. Reddit’s value has definitely diminished as a direct result of the protest against the API changes.

  • _stranger_@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    That’s because the 10% of people they thought it was ok to fuck over were providing 90% of the non-entertainment value.

  Many folks deleted their contributions when they migrated away. So it isn't intentionally trying to not help anyone else. It was just protesting against reddit more likely.

  source

  • athos77@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Also, some people just regularly purged their history out of privacy concerns.

      Also true.

  Try reveddit, just change reddit in the url to that, should show deleted comments

  Good thing there are tools for viewing old versions of a website (wayback machine for example). At least if there is a snapshot at the time where the comment was not deleted.

  And add ons as webarchive allowing easy access to all those tools.

  source

  • xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Now wayback doesn’t work with normal reddit posts cuz the client side rendering bunged it all up, I just have to pray someone archived it on old.reddit.com

  Are you clueless as to why it looks like that now?

  source

  • MrRazamataz@lemmy.razbot.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    No, I’m aware. It can just be mildlyinfuriating if there’s some obscure issue you are trying to solve.

    source

    • willya@lemmyf.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yep, for sure, but that was also the reason people did it. To shred its usefulness away.

• Mane25@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  The annoying thing for me is someone posting a question, getting help from the community, and then immediately deleting all their posts assuring that nobody can ever be helped by it again. This is kind of a reverse of that which I would say is probably less common?
