Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.

  i stopped using reddit and deleted my accout and posts when they introduced those fucking nft-avatars and it seems that they’ve been going downhill ever since that.

    they were headed downhill loooong before NFTs became a thing.

    Those NFT things were just a bad move.

    When you delete your account and posts now, unless you edit them first, all deleting them does is hide their visibility in the database. The post is still there.

  I’ve just deleted my Reddit account. That’s the last straw for me.

    Deleting doesn’t actually delete it all. I remember a Reddit user once filed a GDPR for restoring his information after he deleted them.

      Yeah, I figured as much. At least they can’t count me as a user when they go public.

    Before they shut down the APIs, I deleted all my posts and edited all my comments.

    Spez doesn’t get to profit from me anymore.

  Went ahead and started running redacted on my old account.

  Nothing says we’re just another brick in the wall like writing posts that wind up being used to train a plagiaristic corporate unemployment machine.

    What prevents people from training a model with Lemmy’s data?

      Nothing, but the lemmy admins can’t be the only one’s profiting from it. Reddit killed 3rd apps and academic research so they could be the sole profiteers of the user data.

  TBF for many things I write on the Web, I’d actually want to have a bot that writes them instead of me.

  It will get trained on some comment posts.

    Um, we’re already here. You should be posting this on reddit instead.

    • erAck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I did that some months ago already, changed all my comment posts.

    Lol, what do you think Kenny Lemmy is? There’s a lot of posts on here directly scraped from Reddit by bots.

  That post reminded me that lemmee exists. Accounts didn’t work that great when I first got here but I made one today and got verified. Logged out of Reddit for the last time and replaced my comments. Eff that place right in it’s a-hole. Good riddance.
