I wonder what they are planning that they think will piss everyone off.
Every day the Fediverse just gets that much better than r*ddit
Well they don’t want to hurt the feelings of the nazis they protect. Keep reminding them that 400 thousand Americans died in WW2 to give us the right to punch nazis in the face.
sometimes the only winning move is not to play
Yep, stop moderating and move platforms. Easy-peasy
“communities should honor the expectations they set”
Oh, really?
Too bad Reddit executives don’t feel that way about their own website.
The only site wide protest that counts is not to use it
It’s what I did and I haven’t missed it
And delete your posts and comments.
They’ve done a lot to neuter that.
Not sure on the technicals but lots of rate limiting to prevent PDS from being able to get everything and outright shenanigans to make posts not appear in the old view which also prevents PDS from deleting them. Not to mention un-deleting comments after a while (even if you use the option to edit before deleting).
So run it early and run it often. And then just delete the account for the rest.
Some users have seen their deleted content return later. So yes you should try but don’t assume it will be permanent
I’ve checked a few times, and I’ve had a few posts show up after I thought I got them all. I think what is going on is that the delete script can’t get posts that are on hidden subreddits that you aren’t subscribed to. So when people are done protesting or whatever and they set the subreddit to public the posts come back.
Can confirm! I’ve run that exact utility multiple times. Each time it finds a few posts that were restored.
But it’s like 99.5% effective in deleting posts. So it’s better than nothing.
Would do so but they bring back allot of posts, and besides I deleted my account. I couldn’t take them making it more and more difficult for me to do what I enjoyed on the site.
Enshitificication of Reddit continues!
The beatings will continue until community morale increases… and of course: profits.
The funny thing is this will do absolutely nothing to prevent a sitewide protest. There are so many ways for mods to effectively destroy a subreddit or redirect it while remaining public.
In fact, and this is the important blindness that Reddit continues to have, the mods usually need to work hard daily just to keep a sub usable. Reddit is so dismissive of that effort and so brazenly presumes upon their volunteer labor that they seem to think subs just continue on sheer momentum, if only they could stop mods from sabotaging them.
Mod posts every day pointing to a new community at Lemmy or elsewhere, stopping using bot removal tools, stopping troll culling, marking NSFW, etc will do the job.

custom subreddit CSS: black text on black background
They’ll scrap old.reddit.com to avoid that.
subreddit CSS doesn’t work on new reddit? lol I had no idea
but if they scrap old.reddit then I see a nice big wave of new Lemmy users coming, and we’re much more ready for it this time
Adding insult to injury, Reddit recently struck gold by licensing its content to train AI models.
Oh, that’ll be fun, considering how much of the content on Reddit is simply bots making reposts.
stop using it
Ok, done. Now what?
nothing else, you are already winning
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again, and again, and again and again.
Good riddance, Reddit.
GOOD riddance, Reddit.
Good RIDDANCE, Reddit.
Good riddance, REDDIT.
GOOD RIDDANCE, REDDIT.
I wonder how it’s going for Reddit? I expect they are still huge.
dunno, for 16 months now, the only time I went there was after a google search and the answer was in a reddit thread… There is 15+ years of answers to various obscur topics and all, “unfortunately”
They’re starting to get stale though. Sometimes yes, there will be a 15+ years old thread that’s still relevant, but there will also be so many cases that the latest post is 2+ years old and no longer applicable or outdated.
The biggest problem they have I think is that it’s all bots, everywhere
And the newer threads (from the last 1-2 years) often just aren’t that helpful. Lots of people who don’t know what they’re talking about, or comment just to say they have the same problem.
I can usually get a helpful answer by trying a couple search engines or just fighting with Google, but it takes longer than it should sometimes.
No it doesn’t, just stop using reddit.
People still go there? They should stop.
