Just deleted my Reddit account because of a couple reasons. One, I barely used it after the API pricing protests, and two, Reddit is allowing users' posts to be used as AI training data, which I find reprehensible for obvious reasons. I will admit that I feel pretty sad about it, though, because I made my account back before Reddit completely went down the shitter and was actually kinda decent. I hope more people use Lemmy or Kbin because it's feeling pretty lonely here in the Fediverse. Sorry this vent isn't particularly sad. I'm just kinda bummed about this is all.

P.S. obligatory fuck u/spez lololololol

I was perma-banned from Reddit after 7 years for mentioning facts about Elon Musk and his Boring Company's Not a Flamethrower contraption. No hate speech, nothing obscene or gory, just plain facts, with supporting links. I appealed twice, they denied my appeal.

I've left my account intact though, but have highly debated with myself whether to use one of the mass overwrite services to edit all my posts and comments into pure random garbage, then rewrite all of that again to say FUCK SPEZ!!!

From my understanding, they keep a backup of your previous comments before your edit, so it's necessary to overwrite it at least twice, or they can just flip the switch and restore all your mass edited comments.

The only reason I haven't done it yet is because my account still allows me to view communities tagged as NSFW, but hell, the only time I visit Reddit anymore is when someone happens to toss me an interesting link.

IDGAF if the AI has already 'learned' things from my posts, I probably partly corrupted it's digital brain anyways. Many of my posts were factual, some were random rants, and a good number of them were just lighthearted trolling.

If I stumbled into a post showing some sort of random roadkill or some nasty shit, half the time I might be like 'Are you gonna eat that?'. Yes, I might be partly to blame for why AI has such a poor concept of food consumption. 😂🤣

Obligatory FUCK SPEZ!!!

Damn, I didn't know you could just overwrite all your comments and stuff. I should've done that, but alas, what's done is done. Maybe if I changed them all to "fuck u/spez" my whole account would be nuked, comments and all

Yep, sure can. I edited my comment to include the link for Power Delete Suite...

I did the same last year, but a bunch are back. Not all twelve years worth, but half of them. Gonna make another run at it....
