What did you guys replace your reddit comments with?
I'm considering rewriting all of my comments, but I want to do this carefully and correctly because I'd eventually want to delete the account, so I wouldn't be able to make changes
I want to keep it short and sweet, but be informative, make very good points, and hopefully persuade any user to try out the fediverse
What did you guys change yours to? I'm thinking something along the lines of this:
This comment has been rewritten so that its' content is removed. On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit. This hurts many types of users, and the way that the CEO has handled the situation is not right at all. Reddit is another victim of pure corporate greed.
Some may not consider this important to them, but for anyone who sees this, I strongly encourage you to join the fediverse. It will be confusing at first, but it is very welcoming :)
Alternative platforms:
I feel like it's too wordy (I tend to ramble). I'm trying to find compact "elegantly worded" reasons about what's going on and why it's wrong, with links of good posts, but a lot of that is on reddit. Can you guys help a bro out?
I was just permanently banned from /r/damnthatsinteresting (which currently does not have any mods) for a 4-month old comment I edited with PDS.
It sounds like they very much don’t like that we are doing this :)
My edit read a lot like the first post here, but I didn’t mention the fediverse at all. I did say that I used Power Delete Suite, though.
No swearing, nothing like that.
It had around 150 upvotes at the time of edit.
I would recommend sending people to the all-kbin-instances landing at https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list rather than sending them directly to kbin.social, which seems to be causing issues for Ernest due to crowding. The nature of the fediverse is that we should be spreading out.
I automatically replaced my many years of comments with long strings of randomly-selected words, then deleted them.
This way, if they do bulk-restore deleted comments, they'll have swallowed a poison-pill since my comments will actually be harmful rather than helpful to the LLM learning Spez wants to profit from.
I was bored, so I pulled the most recent 50 comments, fed them into a Markov chain generator, and asked for a new response for every comment I edited. Then I aimed the Power Delete Suite at it, because I am of the opinion that I don't want my data to appear on Reddit. For me, "Fuck you, I'm out," is a far more powerful message than anything I could say about corporate greed.
Consider moving to Lemmy/kbin, two better and compatible alternatives to reddit (picture explains how) that many subs and users have moved to: sub.rehab
Reddit Sync's dev has turned the app into Sync for Lemmy (Android) instead, and Memmy for Lemmy (iOS) is heavily inspired by Apollo.
You only need one account on any Lemmy or kbin server/instance to access everything; doesn't matter which because they're all connected. Lemmy.world, Lemm.ee, vlemmy.net, kbin.social, fedia.io are all great for example.
Deleted most of my comments but ones that reddit restored and the ones I haven't deleted have been replaced with chatgpt rephrasing so the comments is still relevant but LLM would hate it.
My comment was even longer and wordier than yours. Feel free to make it more concise - but in your place I would just use what you've written without any further revision.
