Reddit does not really have a reputation of fair-play. As you have deleted your account without deleting your data you might find it restored with a dummy handle “for consistency”.

My advice to anyone: if you want to take your data back from reddit you should first edit your posts (to some “lorem ipsum suck fpez” gibberish) then delete them using tools like power delete suite or shreddit.

Then you should keep your account alive and regularly pay reddit a visit just to see if its content hasn’t been restored. If you’re in a country under GDPR regulation you can also ask for a GDPR archive of your data that should cover whatever they have on you including posts and comment. This is a good way of verifying what you deleted was actually deleted and not just “marked as” and yet available.

I have left reddit. As in, I do not engage further than discussing migration issues. But I keep an eye on my account and will do so until I’m sure it’s been thoroughly cleaned up. Account deletion is not yet in order, it might be before they go public because I also want them to fall hard from that.

Alors je peux me planter mais je pense que @Fig avait une autre idée derrière la tête.

Un mec c’est con, un jeune mec c’est encore plus con !
Déjà entre garçons les plaisanteries sur la zigounette du voisin vont bon train, alors imagine le pauvre geek de service tout droit sorti de Stranger Things se retrouvant à faire son petit besoin alors qu’un groupe de filles arrive, et interpellé par le quarterback à grande bouche local (ils sont toujours là au mauvais endroit, au mauvais moment !).

Quant aux filles je ne les exempte pas totalement d’une vacherie ou d’une provocation quelconque. Le mauvais goût n’est pas l’apanage exclusif d’un sexe ou l’autre, à plus forte raison à l’âge où l’on se “teste” beaucoup l’un l’autre.

Je pense que la controverse est là, le maintien des urinoirs dans des toilettes mixtes aurait amplifié la gêne de certains et la toxicité d’autres.

I like all I’ve read so far from other comments, Blade Runner taking the lead by far. However I’d like to add a somewhat iconic yet often forgotten item to the list: Appleseed, the original one.

If I read correctly their fine print they have 45 + 45 days to respond. Rest assured they’ll take their time.

On the other hand I don’t think you’re the only one requesting either deletion or a GDPR archive right now so summer break might be slightly postponed or crunched for some people up there. Just a wild guess but still.

I’m not sure this data’s worth a lot though, as many users (likely most of them) are using anon or throwaway accounts with none to little link to the rest of their activity. Sure it can be processed for statistics but I don’t think there’s a lot to extract further. Reddit is no facebook where the average joe has its “average joe” account, and I don’t think signing up with a google/apple/whatever account is the most common practice on reddit (or at least with your real, non-portmanteau anon account).

As for archived posts and comments they’re already publicly available on archive sites. Why would anyone buy them?

But what Reddit is putting a price on is access to content generated by its users, not Reddit itself.

Spot on. Spez is short-sighted thinking he can “musk out” of this situation, as reddit is no twitter.

Twitter’s value is on its users: often empty but famous shells moving hot air from tweet to tweet. Reddit’s value was in the content we brought but as soon as we stop feeding the beast it’s just a glorified wayback machine. That is, if we do not delete our past contributions.

Devs will have some hard weeks (probably months) facing the new challenges that come with the exodus. Not even mentioning all the work needed to counteract eventual (probable) malevolent subterfuges such as these bot swarms.
I’ll make sure to buy them some coffee. Jugs of.

Now I sure know what the “F.” stands for.

I cannot exclude the possibility that the recent increase in bot accounts on some instances is somewhat linked to such already engaged subterfuges. I mean, the time frame is way too coincidental.

Naye, I was jumping to the general topic of beehaw as I am new to the fediverse and I wanted to confront the slight prejudice I had against beehaw because of its “non-conformity” with other instances. And I did it here because I was sure it would be a post attracting beehaw enthusiasts. Not trolling, just seeking positive answers. @kara had the kindness to reply with enough and relevant information and I stand corrected, which was what I was looking for.

If you can’t stand a side remark and a bit of rabbithole chasing maybe you’d be more comfortable with something more rigid than the fediverse, unless you take it as a country club. And oh, a couple users frowned upon my comment henceforth you are so right and I am so doomed.
Sigh…

Well she’s definitely not a committee.

I did it on purpose. This post will draw attention to people both beehaw-savvy and beehaw-enthusiasts enough to appreciate the error page, which place could be better actually to educate my prejudice?

Attention whores. Won’t buy.

A hell of a job. I took the lazy way out and just deleted all of my contributions, and will be GDPRing whatever’s left or restored in a while. New platform, new content, same mind and fingers.
