  Try AI tbh. It’s saved me from tons of forum posts in pursuit of specialized technical knowledge, where I’d often be lucky to get a response at all.

    You have downvotes because lemmy hates LLMs so much. It doesn’t reflect reality or the general population. I’m not even critical of the hate, its the communities consensus.

      Purity test not found. It’s a tool, it is useful to me and saves me time.

      Are LLMs good or just everything else is so enshitified that they look good in comparison?

  I have to say I was having issues using reddit on my browser, it was a simple html issue where I couldn’t break paragraphs, and I went to the support sub and they fixed it within 2 days.

  I’ve had mods ban me for visiting, not commenting or posting, just viewing a post from another sub. I’m sure I got shadow banned plenty of times. I left because of the users. I disagreed that someone should Go No Contact with their dementia suffering grandpa for being racist and I felt like I was going crazy with the commenters who tore me a new one.

  I stayed for while after because fuck, I’d been on reddit since it had r/all and not much else. I blocked out the one that got me to quit for good. I don’t even want to check back in for curiosities sake because fuck them. I wasn’t wrong in the slightest.

    And after that you chose Lemmy of all places? No offense, but the people and especially the mods here are even more batshit crazy when it comes to anything even remotely considered not left. 😂

    I got banned from PoliticalMemes for saying that Hamas are a terrorist organization. Someone else got banned from the entirety of Blahaj.zone for saying that dragons aren’t real. The list goes on. Reddit is centralist heaven compared to Lemmy! Heck, some of the mods are openly Putin and Winney Poo fan tankies!

    That being said, there’s still a lot of cool people and communities here that are pretty nice. Just stay away from anything even remotely political if you’re not a downright communist/tankie. 🫣

      Reddit is centralist heaven compared to Lemmy!

      Reddit used to be a utopia like Lemmy before all the dipshits showed up. It was very left-leaning, and there’s a reason /r/atheism was so prominent.

      That’s maybe because the whole “HaMaS aRe TerroRist” is used as a justification to carpet bomb civilians for 3 years. In reality, they’re the only armed force defending genocide victims.

      And you’d know if you weren’t some german brainwashed idiot. Your country made bank selling weapons to israel lmao

      There’s joke subs (i know of r/switzerlandisnotreal) with respective rules.

      And i’ve not seen miuch right-leaning comments on c/all.

  reddit is quickly making itself irrelevant.

  who knew extreme censorship would be bad for the exchange of information??

  source

  • ook@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    This actually isn’t necessarily censorship. This is more likely users deleting their comments when moving away from Reddit to… Surprise! Lemmy.

    Back during the big move people made a lot of scripts and apps to do that for them and my unpopular opinion is that its been not a good thing to do. Unless they archive their answers somewhere else it is lost knowledge. I know I am pretty alone with that view so please don’t start a discussion again, I won’t reply.

    • TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Yeah, I get so pissed when people nuke their comment history. Why do that when you don’t have too much of personal revealing information in that post or comment? Even one of the mods of AskHistorians expressed frustration of insightful posts and comments being deleted. I did not even delete my any of my posts before I deleted my Reddit account because there are no revealing information, and I know some of my posts and comments will be helpful for others.

      And why do a lot of leave reddit and join lemmy? For me I got tired of getting banned and having my comments deleted all the time aka censorship. I’ve nuked my comment history out of spite at least five times after bans.

    When Twitter went downhill, we got bluesky and mastodon. Bluesky works as a decent Twitter replacement and Mastodon is smaller and more fediverse-focused. Lemmy and Piefed are alternatives to Reddit but I wouldnt really say that Lemmy fully replaces Reddits functionality in terms of niche subs. That’s why I’ve always been in favor of explosive growth here with each Reddit exodus, to have a forum within an order of magnitude or two of the size of Reddit to properly become a replacement.

  '23 is late enough, but it should be peppered with comments overwritten by 60 random words, just to make it worse

• NJSpradlin@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Remember, the capitalization of recourses like this is a planned attack against the lower, middle, working class from uniting against the elite and capitalistic agenda. Reddit was a sharing of knowledge, and the control of knowledge, to the elite, should be solely within their control, and the sharing of knowledge the to aforementioned working class groups is a direct assault on their power.

  That’s why they bought Reddit out and sunk it.

  It’s not just ‘Fuck Spez!’, sure he caved and monetized Reddit, but his actions were just a symptom of the wider issue; capitalism is another tool designed by the elite to subjugate the working class.

• ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  I did my part to protest Reddit’s awful policies by nuking everything I’d ever posted to deny their ability to give it platform. Less information = site less useful.

  A drop in the ocean really, but a lot of people did the same which the Reddit admins did take notice of. Not that spez cared anyway because he’s a cunt.

  I like seeing blank comments on there now. It’s often a sign of somebody else who got fed up with Reddit’s bullshit.

      I didn’t mean to ask how one can view the comments. I meant to ask how it’s possible at all in the first place.

  Whoa since when can you view removed comments?

  source

  • rozodru@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    libreddit instance allows you to do that. one I’m using right now: 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.

  Don’t forget the random comments in other languages because people are not aware of reddit’s shitty auto-translate feature when you come from a google search.

      Yea I have libredirect running to show me reddit stuff on alt front ends should I click a link that usually goes to it, but when talking about linkwarden I meant to make it in reference to preventing link-rot for anything in general on any site in the future as well, not just reddit.

    I know it’s great that Reddit is getting less useful but it’s still infuriating that I can’t find any help on very specific issues where the only answer was that one deleted comment/post.

    source

    • friend_of_satan@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Oh yeah, I sympathize with that problem. I have no sympathy for Reddit though. We all should have invested our time in something that had the users’ best interests in mind. Something like the fediverse.

  I’m unfamiliar with Reddit because I haven’t had an account, but can people delete their account on Reddit, and does that automatically delete all their stuff too?

  source

  • stringere@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    No, you have to individually overwrite all your comments and then delete them to actually make them disappear. Even after all that workl some people have reported their comments returning.

    Just checked my account and despite overwriting all my comments before deleting them…yeah, they’re all back now.

  I dont think its the same cause but I was looking for pressure washer recs a few days ago and came across a few reddit posts that had entire chains of comments from different individuals and every single one had been deleted. One of the posts wasn’t even that old (pre API change or anything like that). It was definitely odd to see.
