I really want to cut ties with Reddit. I keep reading this stuff to keep me motivated to cut those ties.

    I nuked all my posts and comments.

    Glad that I left the place, it can burn and go to hell for all I care.

    On the other hand there’s enough constructive engagement happening here to fulfil my needs.

        Thats why you edit them first to something in protest. (“I refuse to let u/spez get off on my posts”) and then delete them. Apparently reddit doesn’t keep a history of eddits (unless they changed that now) and they could only revert them back to your provocative comment which they wont.

        Haha, that is why I am glad I replaced all my contents with garbage before removing and waited for couple of days before removing them.

      Yes, love that I found a new home. But it is an adjustment and the bugs of the apps can be frustrating. But so happy to have a place to engage and to make post. I love Lemmy.

      Let us be the best place to be.

        Honestly, you don’t need any app. I’m using Firefox on mobile and it’s way better than the app I tried.

          The Lemmy web app is progressive, and you can “install” it on your android phone’s home screen easily enough. But it’s still a web app, and it’s kind of janky, compared to a “real” app.

          Though, I’m comparing it to things like Reddit Sync and Apollo, which are fantastic.

              Yup! And I will stand in line like Fry shouting, “Take my money!” when it’s ready.

      Same, I never quite got into mastodon (then again I rarely used twitter as well) but this one feels like the first fediverse thing I really love using

    The beatings will continue until morale improves. You WILL behave for the shareholders.

    It doesn’t matter how hard Reddit tries to break up the protest, if they don’t reverse course on this, the site will implode on July 1st when the API changes happen and mods of large subreddits no longer can use the tools they need to do their jobs. Reddit’s trying to claim they have new mod tools in the works, but I’m sure they’re full of shit.

    Everyone at that company is an absolute idiot for not listening to the moderators they’re actively antagonizing right now, and it’s going to blow up in their faces.

      The other thing is why this timeline? I think it’s because of the downgrade of the valuation on the IPO.

      It seems like there are investors and other forces plus the absolutely awful communication and leadership from Huffman.

      They are in this spot where people who don’t seem to understand Reddit are making decisions about it.

      Even if this doesn’t “kill” reddit, the decision making has been very obviously hostile toward its users and future.

      If it’s anything like their video player, it’s going to be complete garbage. Something I love about lemmy is how I can watch videos with no lag or spotty loading. Whoever wrote reddit’s video player needs to be shot.

      They could auto-reply to all press inquiries with a poop emoji? Otherwise… probably not, lol.

    Yeah this kind of shit here is why I do not regret leaving. My oldest reddit account is from back when Bush was still president and Idgaf anymore, it’s dead to me now. I’m looking forward to seeing kbin flourish instead.

      Do it through your profile settings. But don’t be surprised if it doesn’t work. For me it works on Lemmy.ml but not on the Jerbora app. 🤷‍♂️

      In my experience top day works better than hot currently, but there should be a dropdown in the settings menu, the one you’d use to change your profile icon or password or such, to set the default sorting

    Wonder what ther’re going to do about r/political humor, since everyone subbed to it is a mod weather they want to be or not.

      they’re not really mods, they just set up automoderator to perform mod actions based on user input

    It’s such a shame. It’s also a lesson to not make the same mistakes again. Fediverse seems like a good step forward.

    Literally just ran Reddit Delete Suite* on my account. RIP made sure to edit every post/comment as well. Guess I will try kbin and maybe look into lemmy since they can kinda be used the same, honestly the whole fediverse needs some love UI and UX wise. I have seen several posts about people dev apps for both, so looking forward to what the future holds for sure.

    *Shout out to the other two comments with the links thanks

        Yeah I’ll get to my PC here in a minute and come back to this comment, and edit this one with the link. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

        I just added the JavaScript to my hotbar and then went to my reddit and ran it on the page and waited for it to start. Super simple and has filters as well man. Depending on how many comments/posts you have, could take quite a while I only had a few thousand that needed to be edited. So it took around 8-10min. 16 yr account though lol RIP Reddit losing a lot there!

        Just so you’re aware, if you have more than 1000 comments/posts in your history they won’t be indexed and immediately available. I’m assuming it takes time to propagate. So don’t delete your account straight after, keep running it every other day until entries stop appearing.

    How are they going to find moderators that they can trust?
