This is only the beginning of Lemmy and it already has everything I got from Reddit.

We gave the admins and spez a chance to go back on the API changes with the protest but they arrogantly ignored the users views.

The only thing that will get CEOs like this to listen to their user base is a mass exodus. If several million people closed their account they would actually listen in the first place.

Power to the people.

IIRC they can restore deletions easily but not edits, if you edited the comments and then deleted reddit will only, AFAIK restore the comments to the edited version, however you can request the right to be forgotten if GDPR applies to you.

I’m a bit late to the party but I didn’t delete my account. I edited everything with a message like « deleted because of Reddit API policy, see you on the fediverse »

I think I will leave it like that because that way when a Google search or anything point to one of my post/comment, peoples will see the message instead of just « deleted ».

It’s about the message :)

Same here. Ran a script to edit all my comments explaining why they’re edited and that I refuse to let reddit benefit from my input anymore.

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.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
