    Power Delete Suite doesn’t get everything. PDS goes through your New, Hot, Top & Controversial posts and deletes those - however your reddit profile doesn’t display every comment there.

    For example, I had many comments that were older than 3 months and <50 karma that were still left unchanged after running PDS to completion several times. In particular, replies I’d made to my top comments were still there, while the top comment itself had been deleted. I also had a couple comments in the gilded tab that it had missed.

    The only way to get everything is to do a GDPR request to get all the comments with links in a CSV file. Apparently shreddit can take this to clear the comments, however the PDS dev shits on shreddit for requiring you to input your username and password. I haven’t yet tried this, but I’m not aware of any other service that uses the GDPR CSV files.

    I like to give it slightly wrong answers first, then right answers on the second attempt. Because they’re blatantly using it to train AI (for free, without paying users for their work), I want to poison the data. The first one tells it that it’s guess is wrong, the second one proves I know what I’m talking about - if you do everything wrong it will just discard your training data.









  • No, they want to steal data you create and profit from it, while offering nothing but spite in return.

    If you make the data, the data belongs to you. That data has value, in spite of what Silicon Valley tech companies tell everyone. If it didn’t have value, then these companies wouldn’t be amongst the wealthiest businesses in the world.




  • Twitter is a weird one. Musk is prancing around acting like a piss poor businessman, but all that is simply to hide the fact that Twitter was doomed by the very nature of the leveraged buyout it was bought under. Twitter could never afford the $13 billion loan it took out to buy itself on Musk’s behalf, it was always doomed to fail.

    This in turn clears the way for far-right social media platforms. Either they step into line, or they kill them off. I really can’t help but feel reddit is part of a coordinated attempt to destroy open and untampered social media communication amongst people, in particular during the build up to the 2024 elections.
