(Worth noting that the vast majority of markdown in the value of Reddit and Discord holdings by Fidelity predominantly occurred last year.)

Oh, that means there’s more room to move down.

It's like your stove top was the experimental test one where you could see how all the knob styles worked, like it wasn't supposed to be released to the public.

Yeah, good luck to the read-onlys when the content creators are gone.

Teaching AI to deceive? What could go wrong?

Ah, you get what you give rule.

And I wouldn't put it past spez to deploy some secret bots just for this reason.

Me too. RIP two best apps. Reddit is dead to me.

This is so gay. No homo.

As a teacher, this kind of stuff scares me. Luckily my district had not been affected by this sort of thing yet.

Here’s what I wrote:

This piece is so biased. To act like the mods and the content creators behind this protest are keeping the site from growing up is farcical. You know how the site could have grown up? Get some actual professionals to make their app so 3rd party creators didn’t have to do it for them. How about, since you couldn’t make an app before (or better) than the competition, you work with the 3rd party app creators and show them some respect? What the article doesn’t say is that there was about a month between Reddit dropping their (not at all “realistic” as they claimed) API pricing, and the point 3rd party apps got charged for it. This decision was made to either scrape money out of 3rd party apps or kill them altogether, not to make their users happy.

Here’s another one: actually care about your unpaid moderators enough to give them the tools they need to moderate efficiently.

The thing is, Huffman wants Reddit to “grow up” when he lies and spreads libelous claims, then gets mad when he gets caught. Sounds like he’s the one who needs to grow up

Wow, DeSantis is really knocking it our of the park lately. /s

Literally. Walmart, a block party, a club, TOO MANY SCHOOLS TO COUNT, a concert, etc, etc. It never seems to end, and yet we do nothing.

I suggest, if it's not too gooey, grab some packing tape, and press it on the adhesive. Then, pull it off quickly. You might have to do this a few times, but it's the best method I've found that doesn't leave residue, and also works with most sticky adhesives.

And didn’t they tell him there would be no major API changes, specifically in terms of cost “in 2023”?

And even more so late at night.

“As an AI language model”

As someone who uses ChatGPT frequently, the placement of this phrase is suspect imo.

I’m only heading over there to see the drama unfold (for the lols, as they used to say) and promote alternatives, but once Apollo is gone, I will as well. The plan is to nuke my posts and delete my account.

I freelanced for a nonprofit using Upwork. I’m going to be honest, I’ve not done any other freelance work, but I did see it had a job board.

I was at about 12 when I left

I remember watching my uncle playing Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past when I was younger, and when it was finally my turn with the SNES, I just couldn’t stop. It was the first game I ever played all the way through. I played the Mario bros, and 2 and 3 but I never could beat them (for some reason we didn’t have Zelda 1 and 2, but I doubt I could have beat them either). It was a moment for me, where I realized beating a game was fun! And it was easy enough for me to progress through, but not so hard like the other games that I would quit. And unlike the Mario games - I could mess up and end up not too far from where I left off!

I found one of my fave communities on kbin, and it wasn’t active. So I am posting and checking for new posts every day to help it grow. I understand how you feel, but if you want it to happen you should try to be the change.

Which means today is the last day to use it.

Hello...friend

Reputation Points.

Karma?

This is so sad. It’s a story as old as time, a pretty woman fleecing someone for their money, but it’s gotten so much easier, and less traceable - meaning scammers get away with it and continue to do it over and over.

I understand what you're saying, but in a general sense, a person with good "Reputation Points" can be seen as contributing positively in the communities they are in. Even posting a controversial opinion and getting downvoted to hell (which I have done before on reddit) won't kill a person's Reputation Points / Karma. I'm still torn on whether it's a positive or not, but it can definitely used as an indicator of whether a person is being a positive member of the site.

However, @PositiveNoise brings up some of the negative points as well. Another being that it reinforces an echo chamber of ideas and stifles discussion, with unpopular but well-fashioned arguments being downvoted because they're disliked, not because they're harmful. And further, repost bots got tons of karma on reddit, upvoted by people who didn't see it the first time, which reduces the quality of the sub / community / magazine by burying OC that couldn't compete against an already proven successful picture / tweet / meme / etc.

It's a conversation. There are arguments for both sides imo.

Just got mine today. I'm not sure on the request date - I did it from a comment on here that said we should flood Reddit with GDPR requests. However, I'm going to guess somewhere around the week of the blackout 6/12. Does anyone know if there's a way to tell what your request date was?

I think it will be useful for deleting my account's comments since it has all the links to the comments. Also, kinda cathartic having all this archived personally since I will be deleting/altering all my comments soon, then deleting my account.

Thank you for the link. Any guides to making this work? I'm a bit confused because I downloaded the exe, but it won't run so I'm not sure what to do, even after reading the directions on the github.

I mean, I’m pro-choice and I downvoted you because you would rather troll this person and add to the negativity than state your case. I downvoted them too, for the record.

I get what you’re saying, but this is what they call anecdotal evidence. Plus, the article doesn’t claim that a person’s choices can not affect their financial outcome, it says that [edit: “biased decision-making”] alone do not account for the amount of income inequality prominent in the countries studied.

What you’re saying may be true, but if a terrible fate befell one of you, you would both have the assets to weather it. However, someone in the lower income bracket would not, no matter what choices they made, for reasons many times beyond their control.

Then why they so expensive tho?

I’m not touting it, it’s a decent way to make sure that an account is reputable and behaving in a way conducive to the principles of the communities it’s participating in - “upvotes” means people like the things they are posting and saying which means they are good users. It’s just a little …familiar.

It wouldn’t be so horrifying if they mushrooms were just growing around it - we’d be like “yeah, mushrooms are resilient.” It’s the “growing towards” part that makes it so unnerving, like it has a plan.

I believe that “0 comments” you can see is limited to about 1000. There’s a list of your comments that are viewable by your profile page, and that only caches the first 1000 in any category (top, new, controversial, etc).

Okay, I’m not sure where it originated, but here’s a link to a relevant comment. I read it in a post about deleting Reddit comments when I first started exploring the fediverse, and I’m not sure I can find it but iirc, a Reddit admin confirmed that when you check your posts, it only shows the top 1000 and comments are only pushed off this list for “new” additions, and the list is not repopulated when you delete things. Therefore, if you delete all your comments, then check the list, it will show none (or if you delete 100 comments, it will show only 900, etc). Something about how these lists are populated in Reddit’s system. It is also relevant that some of the Reddit delete programs out there use this list and so will never delete all your comments.

I will keep looking for the original post tho.

Thank you for the clarification!

And I think if you get your GDPR data request from Reddit, you can get the direct links and that allows some of the comment deletion/editing tools to do their full job, but I’m not sure on the full details on that.
