Hello, my name is loaExMachina and I’m a redditor.
Jk, I’ve almost completely stopped browsing reddit, tho so far I hadn’t committed to deleting my account, because all I’ve written was of such high quality that it’d be the worst loss of wisdom since the library of Alexandria burnt down. But now that I saw the deal they cut to train the Google AI on their content, I’m thinking “better erase it than let it fall in the hands of evil.”
I recall seing on reddit many comments replaced by something about moving to lemmy and how much better it was, apparently some software had been used to bulk-edit all of the accounts content into this. Is it possible to learn that power ?
They likely already have a snapshot. If you want to poison the well, go back to commenting on Reddit again, but make sure it’s only with AI-generated responses and unhinged misinformation.
Joke’s on Reddit, I’ve always been posting unhinged misinformation.
Just like when people migrated here last summer doing this, I’m sue Reddit will just change everything back so your changes become moot
I’ve seen nothing to suggest that deleting or editing your writings now will affect the version Reddit shares with Google.
yeah they have all the content stored anyways who’s to say they won’t just feed it to the machine without your consent
Oh, so is it, like, a big archive of te whole site at a moment that Reddit gives to Google? I hadn’t read into the details, so I assumedn it was more like a permission for Google to crawl the website and progressively grab content to train their AIs…
Google (and anyone else) can already do that. Reddit’s APIs provide access to the underlying database, which can include metadata not visible on the website.

Thank you!
Did you even try?
Well, yes
They’re trying right now
That’s what this post is
Go back to closing tickets as duplicate on stackoverflow
Move on dude. Stop giving Reddit your energy
