Just deleted my Reddit account because of a couple reasons. One, I barely used it after the API pricing protests, and two, Reddit is allowing users’ posts to be used as AI training data, which I find reprehensible for obvious reasons. I will admit that I feel pretty sad about it, though, because I made my account back before Reddit completely went down the shitter and was actually kinda decent. I hope more people use Lemmy or Kbin because it’s feeling pretty lonely here in the Fediverse. Sorry this vent isn’t particularly sad. I’m just kinda bummed about this is all.
P.S. obligatory fuck u/spez lololololol
Unfortunately I spent a few years being an insufferable wad on that site, so there’s too much to delete by hand.
The perfect use for AI! Have a script use AI to overwrite your old posts with realistic looking but nonsense text.
With what API?
The API is still there. You get 100 free API calls per minute.
Oh, word? I think scrubbing my account with some AI junk would take like an entire day then
