Reddit improved their anti-ban evasion system, cuz it’s the sixth or more failed attempt at evading a permanent ban. Never more, I am staying here.

FUCK YOU, SPEZ!

    I finally overwrote all my comments and deleted my account. 16 years there, but as soon as I checked the front page this week before deleting, every comment and post was the same old “this” and “take my upvote” and vitriolic hate toward different or uncommon opinions, zero dialogue, such a mess

    Thanks lemmings

      You forgot “and my axe”, “to shreds you say” and “I wish they didn’t remove awards so I could give you one”, or maybe even the ‘rare’ “take my angry upvote and leave”?

      Yeah I like that we can actually hold real conversations here, as far as ‘real’ goes of course.

        You forgot “this is the way”

        Yup. It feels like I am usually talking to individuals here, which is much more enjoyable than flailing in an overwhelming monoculture.

          Y’indeed I love seeing notifications here and reload every few minutes to see if someone replied to me (not now obviously because I’m high and forgot to reply to you earlier and it’s also taking me a good few minutes to type up this reply).

          On Reddit I usually hoped that everyone upvoted, of course, and that none of them reply. Especially when I argumented with someone, because I’m actually really bad at argumenting about things I perceive as negative. […]

          The rest is just a stoned tirade (I didn’t want to delete it because I find it amusing), there’s no Tl;Dr to be made, just don’t read it unless you choose to make me a god and want to use the genoxidedev1 lore to practice that new religion. Anyways:

          […] I’m also bad at argumenting about things I’m good at, which only leaves me being good at argumenting about things I’m bad at, but I’f im good at argumenting about things I’m bad at it would mean that I’m good at argumenting about me argumenting about things I’m good at, so, if we use that logic for all the other things I could be doing I’m actually the best at everything. Wow. I just lost an argument against myself, cool or something.

        “I wish they didn’t remove awards so I could give you one”

        That’s a new one to me! Because they still had awards the last time I used it.

          Yea that’s just what replaced the “Have my poor mans gold 🏅” now, which still somehow comes up too.

        And pun chains, and a guy quoting a Simpsons episode followed by 12 more idiots quoting the rest of the episode. Painful. I see that shit in lemmy but not nearly as much.

      Just make sure to check again in a day or two. At the height of the purge, reddit was shown to be restoring deleted or over-written comments to what they were before.

        I know that they were restoring deleted accounts, but I don’t think there’s any way for them to restore over written comments to previous versions, so overwritten comments are probably more important than actually deleting the account, although you can delete it after you overwrite everything.

          Nothing is ever deleted from Reddit and edits are stored. Deleting it doesn’t actually delete it, it just marks it as deleted.

          This is information coming directly from Reddit devs/admins over the years.

            Can you link to evidence of comments being timestamped, restored or archived by reddit? I’ve read about both deletes being reversible and edits being stored, but I found no incontrovertible evidence for comment iterations being stored or recovered, although there seems to be a lot of anecdotal evidence for deleted accounts being easily restored by admins, which would make sense.

              No because I can’t be bothered. Its common knowledge and again, this comes from multiple confirmations even from spez himself.

                I’ve heard that repeated, but I haven’t seen any evidence of it with regards to overwritten comments. Deletions, yes, but so far there doesn’t seem to be any cause for concern for restoring overwritten comments.

      I had stopped using Reddit but hadn’t deleted my account, your comment reminded me to do that. Just deleted it. :)
