I edited many of my comments up to old ones to "I moved to Lemmy. Save yourselves". They're also boosted by the previous upvotes that the old content got

[–] typechoice@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

This is brilliant af! I’m going to do that when I get the chance

[–] Deckname@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

until after like 24h some of the comments magically reappear

If that happens with people in the EU they’ll be fucked by GDPR

[–] Loce@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

What can we do, how do we report that?

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

would be hilarious if old comment trees of redditors arguing with each other suddenly became:

  • spez is a cunt
    • fuck spez
      • spez is a cunt
        • fuck spez

Would also be funny if it's

-DELETED -DELETED -DELETED -Thanks guys that solved the problem 100%

[–] Kushia@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This annoys me already so keep it up.

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

Still not as bad as "nvm found the solution"

[–] cronch_mcgurk@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

That's an argument that became a circle jerk.

[–] Chriszz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

My 1000+ comments are still deleted and they all say fuck spez. So hopefully it stays that way

[–] GiM@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Use the Power Delete Suite to completely override your comments :)

[–] Aftermath6187@vlemmy.net 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I manually changed my last 50 or so comments to tell people to go to lemmy

[–] Zeyfert162@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This is the way!

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

I did the same but with every one of my 4,000 comments from the last 11 years.

[–] like47ninjas@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dedication. Hopefully you used a script lol

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I tried but it seemed to only edit about half of them. Don't underestimate my level of spite for corporate greed lol.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I scrubbed all my 11+ years worth of posts and comments across four accounts. Some of those posts included technical fixes that I worked out myself and my posts were THE ONLY search result for those specific problems.

To be honest, I was on Reddit since 2015 and never understood exactly the difference between removed comment and deleted comment.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

!whoosh@lemmy.zip

[–] bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

The only account I bothered to purge all the comments prior to deleting was the 10 year old account that I used to post all of my OC articles. The rest I just deleted. I'm not sure it achieves anything but if anyone used reddit anything like I did, each of us just reduced the number of active accounts on the site by 5 or so.

I know I'm kidding myself but I'd like to imagine total number of active accounts is one of the metrics being used for valuation during their IPO and they're currently scrambling to explain why it just keeps dropping.

[–] Zithero@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

A thread when a bunch of folks start to talk about violence against literal Nazis and Spez goes WWII on them (from the Reich)

[–] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is sadly real since they undeleted all of mine 7 times. I think they’re praying you close the account, so they can toss the comments back up but have no say if it’s back up.

[–] ZeroKuma@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasnt there a guy threatening to sue them if they kept being his comments back?

[–] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yup, but they’re hoping to sell all of it for AI training down the line and kill old Reddit where it’s easier to dodge ads.

So they will likely say there’s no evidence who posted the original comment, and make you go through a maze of steps like requiring a driver’s license scan sent to them through email. Instagram tried this.

[–] StankFlipper@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I said in another discussion, I'm in no way a great Reddit personality, but I deleted all my stuff and it came back. I hope there's some kind of personal data reckoning coming for Reddit, but even if there isn't, fuck spez.

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I have hopped on just to see what /r/all looks like a few times, and the quality of content has taken a major nose dive, along with the average votes being significantly smaller for the top posts of the day.

Is funny to me.

It really is reflective of reddit’s current quality of content

[–] Meloku@feddit.cl 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Is there any way to automatically edit all my Reddit comments to "fuck /u/spez" or something like that?

[–] ira@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Somebody pointed me to this fork of power delete suite: https://github.com/deestan/PowerDeleteSuite

It takes a while longer to run because it waits in between each edit, but best I could tell it got each and every of my 2000+ comments. The original version got most of the edits eaten by rate limiting and only got 25% of my comments at best.

[–] Kushia@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I used this on 30k comments and then I sorted by best and manually edited all the highest voted and most informative ones manually. It took several runs over a few days too.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Does it still work?

[–] randomwither@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

If you find something like that, I'd be thrilled.

[–] Switorik@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I can't tell you how frustrating it is even before all the drama how much it is to see the ~~top~~ comments deleted/removed or clicking a post and a mod removed it.

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

Same here. Deleted all the comments and posts on my 3 accounts.

[–] amanvelani@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Never posted on reddit 😂
