Fuck yeah, r/android is still on lockdown
Fuck yeah, r/android is still on lockdown
Props to the mods over there!
Not gonna link the names, but for real, these guys belong in some kind of hall of fame. Stay strong, fuck /u/spez.
edit for future people: It looks like the android subreddit made a whole server! It can be found here: https://lemdro.id/
You're viewing a single thread.
For the record, I know this because I'm going through my old comments and turning them into ads for lemmy 😅
Just a heads up
Go to reveddit.com and throw your username in there. Check if your comments aren't being shadow removed.
Not much you could do about it, tho, but I noticed that the comments I edited to make an ad for Lemmy were all removed. They show up for me, but for other users it shows as "removed".
Reveddit lets you know that.
You could just use Unicode lookalike characters instead. Guarantee they aren't scanning for that:
lеmmу
That doesn't actually say "lemmy." They're Unicode lookalike characters, not ASCII. CTRL+F for the word lemmy, that instance above won't show up.
Just checked mine. Apparently, some of my edited comments were removed, while others stayed up (with identical content).
Subreddits where my edited comments (in new) were removed unconditionally:
- /r/linguistics
- /r/nottheonion
- /r/memes (only commented in that subreddit for a short time frame, so whatever auto-removal there is might only apply to edits to old comments)
- /r/eu4 (lots of removals, but 1 edited comment survived, no idea why, it's neither the youngest nor oldest edited comment there)
Partial removal subreddits:
- /r/facepalm (some edited comments survived, at least one was reversed, didn't notice a pattern, might be based on user reports or depend on which mod sees it)
- /r/pettyrevenge (edits of comments younger than about a month were removed, edits of older comments survived)
Also, looks like some subreddits that were private when I ran the edit script (like /r/MadeMeSmile) have since gone public, so I'll have to re-run Power Delete Suite.
Of all places, /r/amiibo removed my edited post because they banned the term kbin.social. That was a jawdrop wtf moment for me lol.
Question for you - pretty soon here, I'm going to use PDS to edit all my comments with info about why it's edited and redirection to the fediverse
I have some comments or posts that are guides, which I will have migrated over to Lemmy. Can I mass edit all my comments with PDS, then go back into reddit to select few individual posts/comments, and add a link to the specific Lemmy guide? Sorry if this doesn't make sense lol
If you're doing it manually, yes.
But you can also filter by subreddit with PDS and do a different edit if your guides are concentrated in a given sub.
PDS doesn't append, tho, so yeah, if you're doing it for each one of them, you're probably have to do it manually, yea
Yea, so what I was thinking was edit all of them with PDS with a template I have, then go back manually to specific posts/guides and add links to the new guides. Sounds like that would work then, thx :)
You can also save the relevant posts and comments (your own, just like you would someone else's that you wanted to find again easily) and tell PDS to skip saved posts and comments, then go back and edit those manually.
That's what I did with those of my comments that were either debunking misinformation or that I couldn't bring myself to permanently delete but wouldn't have made sense to repost out of context.
I've had the suspicion about my comments ever since I've posted kbin ads (only twice). Timely comments fitting the thread and zero reactions while the one I replied to gets 1000s of upvotes.
Oh well, it'll be over next week anyway. Prepare for the wave!
Well played, Sir!
Doing a great service for the people. Reddit doesn't deserve to keep content from people given how poorly they've treated the community as a whole
Agreed. I'll use powerdeletesuite to edit all my posts/comments to this when Sync for Lemmy's out in a few weeks:
Reddit has killed off third party apps and most bots along with their moderation tools, functionality, and accessibility features that allowed people with blindness and other disabilities to take part in discussions on the platform. All so they could show more ads in their non-functional app.
Consider moving to Lemmy/kbin, two better and compatible alternatives to reddit (picture explains why) that many subs and users have moved to: sub.rehab
Reddit Sync's dev has turned the app into Sync for Lemmy (Android) instead, and Memmy for Lemmy (iOS) is heavily inspired by Apollo.
You only need one account on any Lemmy or kbin server/instance to access everything; doesn't matter which because they're all connected. Lemmy.world, Lemm.ee, vlemmy.net, kbin.social, fedia.io are all great for example.
Make sure to check back after a few days to see if Reddit illegally restores your posts, and file a formal deletion request in writing with support if they do so you can forward their non-compliance to the California AG per the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) which they are required to follow by being headquartered in Silicon Valley. They've been restoring posts left and right already, falsely thinking they "own" us, that we won't notice they're breaking the law, and that we won't hold them accountable in large enough numbers to matter.
I hope you're not doing this manually. Power Delete Suite can also do edits.
👀
I'll check that out lol
Thank you for this.
I'm watching the progress bar now. 11 years of comments :)
So it can do edits without deletes?
Yes, just click the option.
Make sure to use this fork to get around the 5-second time out on editing comments https://codepen.io/pkolyvas/full/QWJbEOM
I think so, right? There's a field to edit your comments. Unfortunately I can't try it anymore since my posts are already deleted and I don't intend to post anything.
well done
Oh, smart move!
