subreddit blackout will pass
Subreddit blackout will end as soon as we’ll finish reassignment of head moderator role to a people of our liking, who are pro-Reddit oriented.
:DOne thing is for sure, goodwill was lost and some would-be contributors and commentors have left the platform for good. It might be a small percent, but it happened, and something was lost due to their handling of this.
@Parallax I left, and started up a magazine here to fill the hole. Went back to let other people in the sub know they have a place in the fediverse if they want. I believe in rewarding companies who are doing it right, and not giving my business to those who don’t. Reddit is showing me they don’t give a shit, so meh, no thanks guys. Sure, I’m only one person, but if you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything, as the saying goes.
We’ll see about that. I have already replaced all my comments with garbled message, as a symbolic act, and to also render it unusable for AI training purposes.
What I hate about that is that this hurts anyone looking for information just as much or more than in hurts reddit itself. I’ve stopped using reddit’s feed and general participation, but there’s still alot of valuable information on there that helps me and others in their daily life. Destroying the content feels like burning the books in a library because the library introduced an unpopular policy.
is there a tool that can be used to replace comments with gibberish?

Except no it won’t because you just ran off half your userbase and made your mods quit. We don’t get paid for that and when you piss people off that work for free, you’d better realize that your employees are going to be asked to do their job instead or the site shuts down as chaos ensues.
