It's annoying, but it had to be done.
Good. Separately, I really wish we had a way to search for useful answers on Lemmy. I feel like much of the reddit was exposed through: "question/key words" site: reddit.com googling
I mean, you can do pretty much that by using one of the largest instances. That is most likely to have content from the largest amount of other instances.
I get what you're saying it's just not as practical. Many won't look for the largest/most relevant instance for their questions.
Fuck Spez!
Awesome!!! Post your questions here instead
Why? so it can be found in search engines when people are looking for answers? Sadly, Lemmy is terrible for searching for answers. Lemmy will likely never replace the true benefits of reddit, search engine indexing for solutions.
Who cares about the search engines? Ask your questions here and get an answer. It just takes longer
What kind of a boy is spez?
The fascist kind. A lot of high karma accounts got banned for no reason this last year. Destroying their own creation. Sad.
A greedy little piggy boy
A reliable source tells me Spez likes to diddle kids and has a micropenis.
They just added comment history hiding as well, so now you can’t even tell if some people are engaging in good faith anymore.
So I get banned for reporting trolls because it's an "Abuse of the Report Button" AND they make it easier to Troll? Do they just want people not using the site?
@QueenHawlSera @nightlily pretty sure that you just have to consider reddit as having been very much broken for a number of years now.
They erroneously ban good users and encourage the trolls.
The only way the experience is bearable is just to block idiots yourself and not engage.
I couldn't even get them to respond to appeals, so I just deleted the fucking account
I was a paying user who accidentally used an alt account a day before a ban was up.
The ban was ridiculous and unjustified but I understand alt accounts are against the rules. My appeal was rejected.
It was stupid if me to pay in the first place. My profile was linked to my real identity as result.

you cant tell if people are botting/spamming
Good! The users add all the value to that site, moderate if for free and they couldn't even not be cunts about it.
they want propaganda bots mostly now on reddit.

How is it possible to view deleted comments?
Redlib (alternative front-end to Reddit) puts a link to undelete for removed comments. undelete.pullpush.io
I didn't mean to ask how one can view the comments. I meant to ask how it's possible at all in the first place.
Iirc using the 'delete' button just does the equivalent of breaking the link to a picture. The data is still there.
This is why, during the mass exodus, many people were sharing scripts to edit your comments with random words before deleting them. Because deleting them leaves the content available in the database, but editing actually overwrites the data. So even if Reddit later decides to undo the deletions, (which they did), then they’ll just be a bunch of gibberish undeleted comments.
Good, fuck reddit, anybody with an account should delete all comment history.
I provided quite a few answers in Linux, UNIX, and programming forums. I had to delete my comments multiple times as they kept getting restored. I even had a script that I'd run in my browser that would go through and delete all my posts until a month passed with no restorations, then deleted my account. Reddit should never be a Google result for tech help to begin with. It should take you to documentation.
yeah when I left I deleted everything. When I was talking about it to a friend who uses it, and knows my account, informed me that all my interactions with them are still there. Took a look, and yeah, everything restored.
Try AI tbh. It's saved me from tons of forum posts in pursuit of specialized technical knowledge, where I'd often be lucky to get a response at all.
You have downvotes because lemmy hates LLMs so much. It doesn't reflect reality or the general population. I'm not even critical of the hate, its the communities consensus.
Purity test not found. It's a tool, it is useful to me and saves me time and trouble.
Are LLMs good or just everything else is so enshitified that they look good in comparison?
Are there any tools that can edit your comments to make the ingestion of your data into ai models less worthwhile? Eg. The comments are edited to not be random, superficially look like a human made them, but have very little value when sold by reddit
I forget the tool but every once in a while you'll see a comment of gibberish words and it says "comment removed thanks to X".
The service edits the comments instead of erasing them.
I really need to go back and delete all my posts, I just dropped it and never went back.

Whoa since when can you view removed comments?
libreddit instance allows you to do that. one I'm using right now: https://discuss.whatever.social/
note that you have to kinda bounce around from instance to instance as some will be great for a couple weeks then go away or crash and then you have to find another one.
