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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

What the title says.

A certain Mr. Huffman is making Reddit, which was once the frontpage of the internet (it still is, albeit for different reasons) a living hell for us.

Being in the coding/development trade as my profession, I am a huge advocate of anything FOSS, so when I found Lemmy, I did not look back.

Thanks to PowerDeleteSuite, I got rid of all my contents from Reddit. I did hear reasonings like "leave them there, for the benefits of lurkers" - but nope. I do not trust the sorting algorithm of Reddit anymore, I do not believe people will get to see my content if needed. So yep, blow 'em up.

I kept a close eye for a while on whether my posts and comments get resurrected (yes I did read about people experiencing this) - but I guess PDS did a good job for me.

So there you go, Snoo - you are cute - but creepy Stevie is fucking with your cuteness, and fucking with all of us.

Mine is from January 2006 and I am very tempted to delete everything and nuke the thing.

Mine is from 2007, and I’m at the same crossroads as you are.

I've been making and burning accounts every 6-12 months since 2009 🤣

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah this is me, I think I first made an account in 2012 but never saw the point in keeping one longer than a year or so.

It's like quitting smoking - it's the easiest thing to do, smokers do it 5 times a year./s

If you wanna keep your bookmarks and the subreddits (communities) that you're subscribed to before deleting your account, I made a free tool to help you store and offload that data.

It's called Reddit Account Manager, and it's 100% free.

You can also use it to manage your Lemmy account(s), of course.

It’s the only way to be sure.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Same. You should do it. It felt very liberating.

I've kept mine from 2012 alive just to check if some comments reappeared (which did on a few occasions) but aside from checking on it once or twice a month I haven't used reddit since the the blackout.

I did alter my profile to say "Went to lemmy" though. I should delete it soon however, I doubt any more comments will pop back up after all this time.

Same... Except mine is from the low 2010's.
