Mildly Infuriating

Home to all things "Mildly Infuriating" Not infuriating, not enraging. Mildly Infuriating. All posts should reflect that.

I want my day mildly ruined, not completely ruined. Please remember to refrain from reposting old content. If you post a post from reddit it is good practice to include a link and credit the OP. I'm not about stealing content!

It's just good to get something in this website for casual viewing whilst refreshing original content is added overtime.

Don't forget to edit all your comments first to say [removed] or [moving to lemmy.world]

Otherwise all your old comments stay on the site but with the username of [deleted]. Posts too.

If you need a tool to do this for you automatically, I think I've heard of people using Shreddit. But there are likely a few options.

Oh yeah, good idea! Before this strike I only heard of Mastodon. Didn't like it because it was so twitter-esque. I wasn't even aware that there are other federated networks which are similar to reddit... If all of my posts and comments said something like "user moved to lemmy.world" I'd spread the word that there are alternatives.

How do you mass edit comments?

Using something like Shreddit:

https://github.com/x89/Shreddit

Don't forget to set the options to edit comments before deleting!

If you are on support subreddits, this is a massively terrible idea. Please, delete everything BUT your useful responses/questions

I mean it sucks for users but it’s exactly what we object to: Reddit thinking it can treat us however they want and keep the only thing that brings value to their site. Our comments.

It sucks but I don’t see why I should let them keep using it after they acted like complete idiots.

I’ll keep mine up until June 30, if they come to their sense till then they’ll stay and I might join back. Otherwise my posts from the last 8 years will be gone.

To be fair, you can also try to copy paste all important/useful comment and reupload it on Lemmy, idk if that's practical though, since I rarely post on reddit anyway.

Edit: said the wrong website, lol

Depends on how search engines handle a federated platform like Lemmy. Only the original post on the original instance is indexed? Indexing all instances for every post they can reach each? Not indexing federated platforms at all?

Its not a solution that I at least trust enough yet, unless I actually find how these are handled. Myself being new to this platform of course makes me not know these details.

[–] FlowerTree@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

I suppose, but it's better than having those informations completely lost forever

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

But its mostly contributing to the hurting of users, not Reddit. Imagine if a major contributor to Stack Exchange/Stack Overflow would delete everything they have posted, it would be a massive loss of extremely important information that is currently only kept there.

Its the same for Reddit outside of casual discussion.

I wonder if they've intentionally disrupted the ability to do it to stop the wave of people deleting their content...

https://lemmy.world/c/therewasanattempt would probably appreciate this and it’s so new there’s nothing there yet.

[–] TigerClawTV@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Lol. Something went wrong. Yeah I'll just bet it did.
