[might not really be Reddit] Reddit threatens you for using Power Delete Suite and other tools now

Cinner, 10 months ago

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

nameless_prole, 10 months ago

Right? Am I missing something? Can we see the thing you're referring to, OP?

Kuujaku, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

I was getting this

EDIT: Also now getting this

Ok I legitimately love this lol

funkyb, 10 months ago

yea that should have been linked in the post itself. was quite confused what you were talking about.

Also - that's freaking hilarious and my hats off to the mod team of that sub. This has nothing to do with you using the delete scripts.

Hobovision, 10 months ago

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.

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

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

Against the rules to use an adblocker? WTF.

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!

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.

Reddit is automatically editing user posts that have lemmy links in them to just say "[Removed by Reddit]" - You likely got nagged for editing comments to have lemmy links in it.,

Love that “intended reddit experience” quip even if it is an automod.

poiy, 10 months ago

used powerdeletesuite already, no comments, no posts left, everything got overwritten before deleting it with mostly gibberish. f spezzo

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, 10 months 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.

drinkleadsoup, 10 months ago

Absolutely this. It's been so pleasant to see proper grammar usage again.

McBinary, 10 months ago

Reddit just got the same treatment that facebook did when all the boomer parents showed up in force and all the young people moved on to insta/tiktok.

CannedTuna, 10 months ago

I also used Power Suite Delete to edit my comments to “fuck /u/spez” before deleting and several subreddits sent auto messages saying something along the lines of “your comment contains a subject that is not appropriate… etc… since it looks like you are removing your comment/post we have deleted it for you” but that’s all I got

SeeStars, 10 months ago

glad I finally left that shithole.

magnetosphere, 10 months ago

They are really going all out to pour gasoline on this dumpster fire. Imagine if they put even half as much effort into improving the official app.

ForestOrca, 10 months 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.

ImplyingImplications, 10 months ago

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

someguy3, 10 months ago

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

admiralteal, 10 months 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, 10 months ago

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, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

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

Tar_alcaran, 10 months ago

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