News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Shredding up my Reddit comments (editing them to say fuck spez, linking to Lemmy and Kbin, not deleting but I don't care if they do end up deleted) and I got this.

I also got several hilarious AutoMod replies from different protesting subs. r/ProgrammerHumor requires a code block with an import statement before every comment, and r/shitposting has completely banned the letter B.

That's from AutoModerator, which is configured by subreddit mods. Messages from Reddit admins would not come from AutoModerator.

[–] jcg@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Huh, I just realized that but I'm not sure what the AutoMod rule would be in that case.

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's definitely subs automod, I used the delete tool a few years ago and got multiple messages telling me to stop scrubbing my comments

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's actually really interesting that subreddit mods set it up that way that it notices if someone changes so much so quickly and send such a message. I would have never thought of that, but I mean I guess it makes sense if they want to keep the subreddit content. Still really interesting. So these mods probably want to intimidate the person to get them to stop?

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Well it worked on me lol.. I stopped deleting my comments and just deleted my account

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

On a laptop you can sort your comments by "top" and manually delete. Those are the highest visibility anyway.

[–] Bozicus@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

You can also do this if you request "desktop site" on a mobile browser.

[–] admiralteal@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I believe only your most recent 1000 comments show up tied to your profile, so you cannot delete any but those. Deleting #1 doesn't bump #1001 into slot #1000

The lists are a bit different for controversial/top/hot, which is why the deletion tools all check all three.

Older comments will still exist and be search-indexable, editable, and deletable, but you'll have to find them... manually. I guess with 3P search engines? A nightmare.

Meaning Reddit is in violation of municipalities that have data deletion rules, but so far no one seems to care.

[–] TheOneWithTheHair@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Older comments (1 year+), if you delete will simply re-appear. Then I tried editing old comments yesterday (using public domain filler text), but overnight my comments have been "restored". Newer stuff you can certainly do this to.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Someone said it's the caching or refreshing. Check again in a bit and let us know.

[–] TheOneWithTheHair@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I checked it. They're still reset to the old data. My edits meant nothing.

[–] ForestOrca@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Too late. I wiped it all. " r/ProgrammerHumor requires a code block with an import statement before every comment, and r/shitposting has completely banned the letter B." That's hilarious, btw.

[–] Hobovision@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Where do those links take you? The mods might be doing that to demonstrate what could be coming in the future if reddit continues down this path.

[–] jcg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Links you to the Reddit user agreement and chat features for some reason.

[–] Tar_alcaran@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Good reminder that I need to do this today. Thanks!

[–] Cinner@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

What was it? I know it wasn't really from reddit but I wanted to see what it said.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 1 points 2 years ago

Okay so where is that nuke script before it won't work anymore?!

Against the rules to use an adblocker? WTF.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

They really had to add the TM didn't they?

[–] K3zi4@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Used it last night and wiped 12 years of history from my account, rewrote several comments to say I was an RiF user. It actually got me banned from a couple subs for spam. Not that it matters, shame it had to come to this!

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Have you downloaded the content before or anything like this? I mean I know that's a deeply personal stuff, but I could never imagine just deleting so much I put time into before I get a backup and can at least personally still have it.

[–] MediocreAtLife@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Glad I left reddit, I think it's just going to turn into a place where the weirdos of the internet go if they keep this up

[–] gk99@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Kinda already is. Everyone over here is so much more polite than on reddit, which implies reddit has lost a chunk of the community that doesn't suck.
