Can’t wait for all the NSFW subs to remove the NSFW tags
Ahahaha I love malicious compliance. I sincerely hope they do that.
Well sadly they did end the message with: “Lastly, if you suddenly begin to post, or approve content that features sexually explicit content to your community in order to justify the NSFW label, we will immediately remove and permanently suspend moderators who have participated in this action.”. So I think they will just, yet again, remove ‘non-compliant’ mods.
Can confirm, was removed from /r/StarWarsDadJokes together with the other mods that way. I regret nothing, I’m not going back anyway.
It’s funny that that sub is now completely inaccessible due to being unmoderated. So… Mission Accomplished? xD
This is the petty shit I would do
I hope this all does them in.
I anxiously check news headlines each day hoping to see that reddit is canceling their IPO.
I can’t wait until their valuation is sub-$1B down from a $10B peak.
Fuck Steve Huffman.
There’s definitely financial damage and I don’t know how spez still has a job but it would take a long-running war to drive numbers down enough and I don’t see that happening personally. Unfortunate but it is what it is
It doesn’t matter what happens to reddit for me anymore. The best, most anti authoritarian users left for the fediverse. I’ve been getting pretty sick of reddit and this exodus means there’s enough userbase here to replace it for my use case.
I don’t get why people don’t protest in other ways. You could easily scare reddit financially by sending mail to their advertisers saying “Hi! We’re protesting reddit and their advertisers for Reddit’s changes on API”
One “or else”, please.
remember when that one subreddit did the snap and banned half their users? the mods should do that again
Glad I haven’t looked back since leaving. I do need to delete my profiles though. Was still having hope
I spent 10 years on that site. I’m not sure I can bring myself to delete all my comments and the profile itself.
I haven’t logged in since Apollo died though
Why let them have all that content you provided though? Don’t get me wrong what you all do with your accounts is your business. I’m not about to be that person that comes barging in with “YOU NEED TO DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT”, but if it helps lend any credibility to what I have to say - I was on there for over a decade with over 150k karma (99% of that comment karma so I participated a lot in discussions over the years) and as difficult as it was, I deleted my post/comment history and then my account. I don’t want to support them by allowing them to profit off of my free labor/efforts.
Not saying every single comment I made was gold or worth much, but if it helps them to pump up their numbers for advertisers/stockholders then I’d just as soon remove my contribution.
I tried, but it didn’t take. The comment deletions were all restored the next day. I haven’t asked for the account to be deleted, but I think that still leaves behind all the comment history.
Use one of the scripts that overwrites your comments first. Just deleting doesn’t help one bit.
They also rate limit you to one action every 1.5 seconds or something.
What is the app that does that?
There are several ways. If you want to overwrite and delete:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/10905-reddit-overwrite-extended/code (This runs as a script in your browser over a plugin, like Greasy Fork, you install the JavaScript Plugin, add the script code, navigate to your comments and let it work).
For just overwriting without deleting… haven’t found something good yet. I adapted the script above for it and it took a while.
There is also shreddit, but it has more setup: https://github.com/x89/Shreddit
