News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Pointless vandalism. The original comments are already archived, this will accomplish nothing except make Google results even worse for people.
I'm down for that as well. It's their info, and they can do with it as they please. I have no right to it, unless they allow it. I totally understand the frustration of not finding the info you want, but I still support the practice.
It sucks that's where we are, but WE didn't steer the ship here. Now we just need to play ball within the confines given to us.
And one of the things they did with that info was to license it to Reddit, who is now authorized to do what they please with it. No backsies.
Right on, no need for concern about missing data then. Problem averted.
Reddit has the data. AI trainers have the data. Ordinary people Googling for help with their obscure problems get the junk it was overwritten with.
Which is bad in the short termine, but good in the long term, as that means less traffic to Reddit. Ultimately that means that in the long term Reddit will pay the consequences for the actions it has taken.
I think you might want to reconsider getting vandalism as your analogy.
You can't vandalize your own property, and any comment or post you make is your words.
It would be like telling a writer they can't edit their own work. That's not vandalism, it's removing the limited license granted to reddit for your copyrighted material.
You absolutely can vandalize your own work. People are destroying posts they made that other people find useful, purely out of spite.
Reddit may allow it, it may be totally legal, but that doesn't make a difference to my opinion that it's petty vandalism.
Go ahead and downvote away, that doesn't change anything either.
Dude. If it's yours, anything you do to it is editing. Vandalism defaces something that belongs to someone else.
I spray paint my tag on my own house, it's likely ugly as hell, but it ain't vandalism. You tag my house, that's vandalism.
You can have the opinion you want, there's a shit ton of bad opinions in the world, and we all have at least one ;)
Exactly my thoughts, and it's why I haven't stopped using the site. This doesn't hurt reddit at all, it only hurts people who want answers to obscure questions. What sucks is that the kind of person who knows what bug causes someone's Dell Inspiron D630 makes a beeping noise every 23 seconds is exactly the kind of person who's going to have all of their comments replaced with AI poison.
Which makes them people less likely to trust Reddit with answers...
So they go to Reddit less often...
Which hurts Reddit.
There used to be other ways to find out the RAM went bad. Like Dell’s site, for example.
So much for that. Now they just want everyone to opt in to spam, and buy new devices whenever a simple problem arises.
As a protest eaasure it has a lot of value. Far more than blacking a subreddit for 2 days.
