Buncha self absorbed cliched weirdos over there anyway
I remember thinking back in 2021 or 2022 when it was announced they were going public that yep, this site is gonna be gone soon.
also matter the fact they purge IRL users that gave the site real content, which is probably lopsided to AI bot(comments and responses)
Good job, Spez, you fuck!
he does love MUSK and his Xitter platform.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Good. Fuck u/Spez.
Keep in mind if the Reddit stock price fell too much some hedge fund vulture would buy up a majority of the stock and then turn it into Nazi town.
Even better then. That’s how the mass migration from twitter happened.
Happy cake day
Isn’t it already basically Nazi town?
It is more disaffected people than nazis. At least the places I was at there. The site wide moderation is pretty fucked in favor of powerful interests, including Nazis however. They like to chase off real people that are driving engagement in favor of the legions of influence agents with their bot accounts.
Right, and if the moderation allows Nazi ideology to run rampant, you have a Nazi town. Especially when it’s all mostly bots spewing Nazi talking points anyway.
Refusing to fight hate speech is tantamount to supporting it.
As someone who around when shitredditsays was the bogeyman, always has been.
The entire site is gpt.
Yay reddit worth less, wtf it’s due to chatgpt?
heh I wonder if all the “old” content getting messed with and/or removed is causing issues with the algorithm/scraper.
For unauthorized scrapers? Definitely
For paid API usage? That tends to not be public for obvious reasons but, allegedly, people have, allegedly, done tests and found “deleted” content in the results.
Ive heard the same but I haven’t seen real evidence anywhere, so im skeptical. But yes I agree, if they CAN get that data, it means the training data is better-ish…
But we are still on this site for a reason :)
It’s all relative I guess. I can see why the original GPT’s used the Reddit corpus for training. However I’ve always been a little sceptical about the quality of the training set in any social media given how much it exaggerates the extremes of people’s behaviour.
I mean… if the reason you left is because you didn’t want your data scraped then… the fediverse is one of the worst places to go? Because anyone can run a modified lemmy instance to pull everything through the tools specifically designed to do that.
Let alone just scraping websites that don’t have teams of big corporate lawyers.
That’s why I edited everything before deleting it.
Version control mother fucker, do you speak it?
But, in all seriousness: That is what they use for the comments. It is why a lot of the mass delete tools were “accidentally” undone during The Exodus. Because it was literally just rolling back. Theoretically there might be a limited number of revisions available but if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you. Because imagine if A Brown Person wrote a message then edited it five times so that Chloe couldn’t alert Jack Bauer to who to torture
I edited everything before deleting it, double-checked it was still deleted periodically, and it all got restored sometime earlier this year.
Just checked my old account again, and all edited content is still there, with “Fuck u/spez” appearing as the top comment in some posts that are like 12 years old
I did this too but reddit reverted everything back to how it was and undeleted my account
Looks like me too. Time for a cease and desist.
Good, hope it crashes.
They were the architects of their own demise
That’s what pandering to the bigger techbros spez gets.
Being there stopped being fun ever since the shits started running a massive profile-and-purge program powered by fucking AI.
All my accounts were banned except one, because I used a different email address for that one. Their “AI” isn’t as advanced as they want you to think. They literally just track you by email and IP.
Their profiling system is based on content in the form of posts and comments, and they used AI to build it up in addition to user-submitted reports determining one’s character – and overall ideological alignment. Mods and admins would then use that information to determine if you are a candidate for banning.
Sounds right, tbh. Source?
I wonder why people on worldnews are not banned. 🤔
israeli propaganda, as long as your pro-israeli or anti-russian you are free. last i recieved a 7day ban for critcizing benajamin as the instigator of the war.
I got my reddit ban for replying to someone in world news. Their comment was saying spain should declare war on israel. I forget why, this before the flotilla though.
I got banned for saying that was unlikely as israel is a nuclear power.
Wasted 15 years on that site to be banned for one fucking comment, burn baby burn.
Same. My comment was “fuck trump and Obama” arguing about using drones to order civilians abroad. Do you remember what your violent advocation was?
Mine was a direct, attributed quote from the US president.
I suggested drawing in chalk on the street outside of the governor’s mansion, to protest the GIANT chalk Christ she had commissioned across the driveway to celebrate Easter one year.
It wasn’t even a serious call to action.
no OP.
I got the F out and deleted my old posts every time they restored them until they stayed gone.
Deleting your posts was a waste of time. Chances are likely that it is archived on their end.
Reddit has been paying close attention to behavior patterns of banned users and users they wouldn’t want on their platform. It’s likely they’ve gotten your posting imprint and just give you the comfort of thinking you’ve deleted your posts.
deleting your account also wont stop them from finding your new accounts, they mostly archived that as well. they look at browser fingerprinting, device, device components, time zone discrepancy, browser size and VERSION, resolution,etc. if you use any paid service/trial service that can spoof any of these above and they arnt the correct versions, they can detect that.
and then theres the warming up period with new accounts(like not posting, reporting, or upvoting too fast after account creation)
As far as I know, they use things called Evercookies and it’s been a thing now too. If you have an Evercookie, then it won’t really matter what browser you use or even if you clean the cache and history. You have to deep scrub your system and practically all traces of your browser to even get rid of those.
And even so, basic networking is a no brainer when they can just flag your IP and it won’t even matter how many times you’ve done that process.
VPN and Incognito browsing is the way.
I discovered the other night that I couldn’t even browse Reddit anonymously with my VPN active.
I don’t know then. I can browse Reddit just fine and I’m not using a VPN. It is interacting with the content and commenting I can’t do because auto-shadowban.
They’ve been blocking Vons for years.
The absolute degradation of the site is appalling. And most of the comments read like they’re written by children, because I’m assuming most of them are.
The absolute stupidity of everything on the site is flabberghasting.
For wishing an old man would have a heart attack and leave the world peacefully.
Mine was telling someone it was unlikely that spain would declare war on israel, it being a nuclear nation…
Banned for ‘glorifying violence.’
Mine was “the german train system organisation should be burned down and redone anew” and “sprich deutsch du hurensohn”
Was it your plan to hit em with the left right politics punch, or…?
No it was under a postof news that the CEO again got raised while the trains were delaid heavier than ever and that a lot of bureaucracy holds it back. Its not politics. Litterly just we need to redo how to organise our trains!
Well, everything is politics. But I was more wondering about the “sprich deutsch” Part - that’s usually more of a racist thing, and therefore right wing politics. But if you don’t see public transport as political you might be right-wing overall?
It’s a meme on German language subreddits when Americans shit up the place in English.
Yeah, I got that context now, which I also accounted for with the “usually” qualifier. I still think it builds an attitude that is toxic to outsiders and can potentially push someone into a right-wing position. I have witnessed first hand how someone fell down a fascist rabbit hole via online places touting language superiority.
…are we now just connecting things to put everyone in right corner? God i hate online people…
Guess being against corperates, for self reliance, public owner ship, pro a european state and untouchable democracy, and so on, is now “right wing”.
“Sprich deutsch” in litterly ich_iel is litterly the norm! Thats the joke! Everything is worded german. Guess such is now “right wing”.
“Everything is politics” omfg. Yeah nah. Thats enought Internet for this month, and it only started. Crazy!
bro just skipped the “usually” part and made a rant against things being judged politically.
I think the “everything has to be written in German” part of ich_iel is also establishing a rather nationalist online culture through linguistic homogeny and illegibility to outsiders. So, yeah, you may not want to recognize the impact your words may have, but it’s clear to many others.
i think people were shocked that all thier accounts were banned simulataneously, despite some of them not participating in the same subs, around the same time. they just went after every account in your ip address,device or browser. even if time has passed that a subreddit ban has been lifted in your old accounts. the site filters/AI doesnt take that into account, and i suspect its intentional.
i noticed reddit is very wary of browser forks now too(google, firefox forks), theres a reason they dont like brave(because it hides your fingerprints by default)
I could never understand why people cared about their social media accounts.
if you start having a social network within a social media, a ban can hurt.
especially a sitewide ban preventing you from making a new account, of which they dont tell you the offense.
probably some have ties to smaller communities of specific category(not news or politics), like your into tech, or cars, or CARD GAMES, or console games. or specific discussions. i had identification of “things/plants” that i now cant access. or discussion of a condition(not to find a diagnosis, but your experiences)
Because whether you like it or not, social media is the easy-track to connect with people of all varying degrees and connect through common interests and even ideals. It’s a lot easier than in the 2000s and 1990s when all you’ve had was an e-mail and probably chat room hopping. You just had to know someone else’s e-mail like you would have to know someone’s number to call them, that’s how it worked.
With social media, you can just breeze through friend lists and comb over searches to find friends and everything far easier. It’s easier to connect with people that way than ever before. And losing out on that, can sting.
I sometimes wished it wasn’t that way, but the people have largely decided we needed something more than just writing e-mails to eachother.
feel your pain, homie.
Thanks haha, I was never really rah rah into reddit itself but it had a lot of cool niche subs for hobbies and such and that’s where I spent most of my time not even in the default or political subs.
I said that folks would blame the Kirk shooting on trans people. What do you know, I was banned and it actually fucking happened.
I just deleted my Reddit account of 6 years. Just found Lemmy today and joined up, this is my first post :)
Its obvious when you watch the way the LLM interacts, its tone exactly encompasses the average Reddit user and post, half-baked karma whoring … You’re absolutely right!
