Pretending again, aren't you?

Keep your Reddit at Reddit

The comment calling spez a pig was originally a solution to a problem, hence the person replying in positively. The comment was edited by a script when the user left Reddit, so the solution no longer is there, depriving those who may be looking.

Which honestly, does more harm (to regular people) than good (harming reddit)

[–] [email protected] 52 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (8 children)

Well, kinda. Reddit's main commodity is its user content. They earn money when people go to the site from Google, see ads, and if they like the content enough, maybe register and keep feeding the beast.

Removing the content people go to Reddit to access deprives Reddit of some engagement that they would profit from, however small or negligible it may be.

It may be inconvenient to the end user, but that's the point. Go somewhere other than Reddit for answers.

Reddit should've thought about that before pissing off that user, then.

I deleted several thousand comments and multiple posts in niche gaming subs I wrote over the years, all of high quality. My knowledge and contributions don’t belong to spez or reddit, or the internet for that matter. Eventually those niche communities will move someplace else, and I’ll be happy to contribute there again.

If you really think not choosing to put your words on a website is somehow more damaging to the public than enabling yet another greedy pig to take from working people, you’re either delusional or a greedy little pig yourself.

Edit: better wording added

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

See, I'm torn. I have been endlessly helped through college and now university through decades old Reddit posts. But I hate enabling evil companies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Information isn’t proprietary. What you once were told about, doesn’t go away with that one instance.

Everybody wants to act like Reddit is somehow an encyclopedia of verifiable fact, but it wasn’t. It’s a bunch of internet posts from accounts you don’t even know are human or bot, truth or twisted subjective testimonial presented as fact

Try your local library.

Try Wikipedia.

Fuck GPT scores better on these tests than most humans do so, it’s at least as correct as Reddit was.

People get so addicted to rage bait and these micro dopamine hits from apps that they don’t even know how to function without them anymore ig. Wild.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I mean, this is useful for textbook information, sure. But when I'm trying to solve a niche technical problem, trying to fix a mod for a game, looking for a specific guide I've followed before etc, my local library/ ChatGPT is completely useless. Whereas Reddit has like a 99% chance of someone having the exact same issue I'm having, posting about it, then editing the post with "nvm I fixed it" (/s).

Some of these solutions are so specific that the chances of finding them elsewhere are slim, especially for older issues where Google's algorithm has been pointing the the same reddit post for over a decade. No one else bothers making a new post because it's already been answered on Reddit. Now that post with the information is gone, and the only solution we can get is "Deleted by a script. Fuck Spez!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (3 children)

From my experience, those same answers I find all over the rest of the web.

Just because it’s what everyone’s parent Google was feeding people with, doesn’t mean that it was the only solution or the best solution. And it certainly doesn’t mean that I’m fucking harming anyone

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't think people are under the impression that literal harm is being done. "more harm than good" is just a saying. "more inconveniencing the general public rather than damaging the financials of the corporate entity" doesn't roll of the tongue as nicely.

Personally I think the mass Exodus of content creators was enough of a nail in the coffin. People removing their previously posted content feels more of a symbolic " fuck you" to Reddit than anything else; I still have to visit the page to see it's been removed, so I don't know how much is being done. This is just my opinion though, and it's not my content to police, so people will do what they feel is right. It just sucks seeing a comment that almost certainly would've fixed my problem, and not finding it anywhere else, and that comment has been removed. I'm sure eventually the information will pop up elsewhere, but until then people are gonna bitch about it, me included.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Have you ever tried seeing if the username is in use on other platforms? Maybe they’d be willing to help out.

They probably remember the problem well enough if their time and effort spent on making the post or comment was so well received by search algorithms.

Come to think of it, that's actually a reasonable argument.

One thing to note is that the reply is only as old as the edit, so it could be a response to the comment telling people to go to Lemmy rather than whatever the original comment was. It could also be sarcasm, hard to tell.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Redditors are still joining us.

Oh, nvm. Comment is 3y old? Is kbin even that old?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Someone used a script to delete all their messages and swapped them with that text.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh, that makes more sense lol. So the reply was for the original context I guess.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So the reply was for the original context I guess.

Or maybe not, Lemmy and Kbin were definitely a thing 5 months ago, when the reply was sent.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But I thought threads lock after a certain amount of time?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I think it depends on the community.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The original answer is archived btw: https://web.archive.org/web/20230308220345/https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/lgo1cl/is_there_anyway_to_run_commands_through_kde/

Is there anyway to run commands through KDE connect?

if you have some commands already defined in KDE Connect, you can long press on them and get a custom URL for them. when you open the URL in any way (through the web browser, KLWP or Tasker etc.), the command will be executed on the other device.

Okay that actually really helps

Lmao. I know this guy. If you're reading this, noodle: BBHH

Doctor Noodles where are you my love?

I have a vague recollection of seeing them in Century Club, the most exclusive subreddit for all the people who have spent an hour farming karma.

Ok but the first rule of CC that isn’t “Fuck Preggit”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Fuck Preggit...

Rule 3611 however, is that every sentence must end with an ellipse...

Don't quote the old magic to me. It's a shadow of what once was and will never be again.
