Don’t use Reddit unless you lick boots
This honestly is probably about Israel. Zionist about to finish off their Holocaust and they don’t want anyone protesting.
I really need to stop looking at stuff like this because it really makes the intrusive thoughts of wanting to murder people go slightly elevated in my mind.
Sounds like something you would do if you were about to remove a very popular feature like old reddit in the coming months.
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
They could just setup auto moderator rules to bury all new posts
sometimes the only winning move is not to play
fuckin matthew brodderick ovah hereeeeee
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.
pretty sure thats what they meant
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.
Might be better to replace old posts with links to the fediverse. Or since those are probably filtered “Google search ‘Reddit alternatives’ and look for the mouse…” or some shit like that.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
stop using it
Ok, done. Now what?
nothing else, you are already winning
