yeah I left reddit completely and moved to lemmy. but search results still show reddit threads sometimes. so that particular thing is malicious to everyone and has very little to do with reddit.
its just shitty. a much better way to do it would be to edit the comment with an addendum to say how crap reddit is and there are alternatives with a link.
don’t punish normal people who are desperate to find a solution to something.
Leaving your comments up contributes value to Reddit. Value you provided them before they fucked you. Much of Reddit’s value is a giant repository of user-generated information, which they’ve turned around and monetized to enrich themselves. If you take them down, people will just have to find that information elsewhere. It sucks that they’re no longer available for the public, but that’s on Reddit, not the user who removed their comments.
You can repost all your valuable comments and solutions here and drive traffic to Lemmy instead.
Yeah, Reddit benefits from the traffic regardless of the accuracy of the posts, so this is mostly wasting the time of regular people with issues who are trying to search for an answer.
That just seems malicious to anyone who might find your answer and get increasingly frustrated by your incorrect advice.
That’s OK. Reddit later forced my account from my hands and I no longer have access to it. So it’s not my problem.
They decided to ban me but keep the posts. Their loss.
No, it’s not your problem, it’s the rest of ours (thanks for that), but it is your fault.
(just don’t use reddit)
Well, I’m kind of stuck with it at this point. I appealed it and they never answered. Not much I can do. Oh well.
