Reddit is trash. I got banned for hating on Nazis, they will bend to Trump, cut off porn and throw the ban hammer down. Reddit is only good for finding tech answers from the past. Everything else is trash.
-
Be careful with that. I went back in time and edited my posts to contain small errors to make them useless wastes of time for the reader and poison AI.
-
That just seems malicious to anyone who might find your answer and get increasingly frustrated by your incorrect advice.
-
That’s OK. Reddit later forced my account from my hands and I no longer have access to it. So it’s not my problem.
They decided to ban me but keep the posts. Their loss.
-
No, it's not your problem, it's the rest of ours (thanks for that), but it is your fault.
-
Well, I’m kind of stuck with it at this point. I appealed it and they never answered. Not much I can do. Oh well.
-
I appreciate the thought/effort.
Imo, it's gross to withold help from a fellow person just to spite a website.

(just don't use reddit)

It makes reddit less helpful i dont want to be helpful if it helps reddit make a dime
-
Oh well.
-
yeah I left reddit completely and moved to lemmy. but search results still show reddit threads sometimes. so that particular thing is malicious to everyone and has very little to do with reddit.
its just shitty. a much better way to do it would be to edit the comment with an addendum to say how crap reddit is and there are alternatives with a link.
don't punish normal people who are desperate to find a solution to something.

Leaving your comments up contributes value to Reddit. Value you provided them before they fucked you. Much of Reddit's value is a giant repository of user-generated information, which they've turned around and monetized to enrich themselves. If you take them down, people will just have to find that information elsewhere. It sucks that they're no longer available for the public, but that's on Reddit, not the user who removed their comments.
You can repost all your valuable comments and solutions here and drive traffic to Lemmy instead.

Yeah, Reddit benefits from the traffic regardless of the accuracy of the posts, so this is mostly wasting the time of regular people with issues who are trying to search for an answer.
-
-
Yeah and we hate you for it.

I used to, then reddit banned me, now I cant delete my comments, it feels awful that im helping ppl and a site im banned from is making money off me, it doesnt matter if its even a dollar of ad money, what if my comment showing up on google motivates someone to dload the app
-
Sad that you would withold assistance to your fellow human just to spite a website.
-
websites whole purpose is to profit off peoples innate desiere to help each other, I think its sad you want to keep feeding them

I never got banned. I just left because the greedy little CEO is a liar that sacrificed the only thing that made the site good, 3rd party apps, on the alter of the almighty dollar during the API debacle.
To be honest the quality of posts, comments, and moderation policies had gone way down hill since at least 2020. The killing of 3rd party apps just gave me the motivation to finally leave

Wasn't that when they banned /r/chapotraphouse? 🤔

Reddit is a censorship hellhole.
The modlog is one of the greatest features of lemmy.
Fuck censorship.
-
censorship is at least entertaining here becuase of the modlog and subs discussing it reddit drama isnt even entertaining there because those posts get locked and everyone temp banend or perma banned
-
-
Seems to depend massively on the sub though, most I am in will never see a right winger above -20 and constantly mocked at best.
-
Though some subs I've been banned from over there the reasons were as simple as "criticizing China and/or Russia" or "participating in a specific other sub"
The subs I hang around in are currently the same to right wingers (downvoted to oblivion) but that's partly because attempting to participate in a lot of lefty subs over there you get banned for talking about China in a negative way. The other subs aren't political so those ones aren't too bad.
