The choice is between “John Oliver, Chiijohn, and their lookalikes bein adorable” and returning to normal.
A bunch of subs have been asking their users the same thing - some don’t have the scores hidden and “return to normal” was losing in all of them when I voted!
Its a good idea to screenshot any you come across in case they change later there is evidence of tampering
/r/pics was originally hidden, I think just because they were new comments. I check after a few hours and it was like 34k upvotes for john and like -8k on the return to normal comment.
I love democracy
Could’ve gone with “r/aww is for cute photos of A World War”
The last time I’m visiting reddit
please dont let it be your last time.
- you could talk about lemmy and maybe bring people here
- You could bring your old posts here
- you could exchange your messages with nonsense:
https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/146lloj /protip_if_you_replace_the_content_of_your/
“: if you replace the content of your posts/comments with nonsense, you’ll make Reddit Inc. (including its CEO) lose money.”
"There’s a good chance that those API price changes were motivated by large businesses using Reddit to train their large language models (LLMs) with. Stuff like GPT-3, Google’s BERT, Facebook’s Galactica, stuff like this. In other words, your content will be used to train bots. (It is, already.)
Those models can be “poisoned” with random, machine generated nonsense. Poisoned data is worse than useless: it makes the model worse. So for each person replacing their Reddit content with nonsense, those businesses will be willing to pay Reddit Inc. less and less for API access."
"Here is a mini-tutorial on how to do this. It’s for desktop users but you’ll likely be able to do the same from a phone browser.
- [Choose 1/3] Open Zompist’s gen. Take off the line saying “ki|či”, and click “Generate”. You’ll get some random babble like “Bepe topioi kabi brete i kropra”, copy it somewhere.
- [Choose 2/3] Open https://sebpearce.com/bullshit/ to get an entire bullshit article
- [Choose 3/3] Open https://nonsense.x2d.org/ to get a bullshit sentence, i suggest getting a few ones.
- Open your Reddit profile and drag the button of Power Delete Suite to it.
- [Optional] Check the box saying “prepare local backup of items”, if you want to save your content elsewhere.
- Uncheck “remove comments”. You want to replace them with babble, not remove them.
- [Optional] uncheck “remove posts”. It depends if you post mostly self posts or if you post links/pics. Use your reasoning.
- Check “Edit comments / self posts”. It should open an input box for text; place the babble from Zompist’s gen there. Then click “process”.
- Just wait!
- [Optional] Click to download the backup of the items.
If you don’t like Zompist’s gen and/or Power Delete Suite, you can use any generator and/or Reddit mass edition tool of your choice."
and yes, i am somewhat still on reddit but i think i do more against them when my app does not work anymore (to spread lemmy or information) i will follow this process
Already deleted my 10+ years account, before i know this. And before i know that Reddit could easily revert back the changes that i’ve made. But what’s done is done. Now i just want to focus on this Fediverse community. Never felt so great to be part of a growing community
I dont think reddit restoring stuff you wanted to delete from your account would be considered legal lmao
Do you know of any generators that create things that are in English, seem normal at first glance, but are actually nonsensical? Things like “has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?”
I’d like something plausible enough to be accepted by an AI model but that ends up making it sound like it’s having a stroke.
i found:
- https://sebpearce.com/bullshit/
- https://nonsense.x2d.org/ will add them to my copyPasta
Love it!
Consciousness consists of bio-electricity of quantum energy. “Quantum” means an ennobling of the sensual. Nothing is impossible. To navigate the path is to become one with it.
