r/ModCoord: The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them
the OP asked how are they gonna remove them all, so I replied they’ll run a query for terms like “fuck spez”. only to find my comment invisible, because they’re already blocking it. spez protective word filter, it’s active right now.
Reddit admins rn:
They can filter this
Absolutely beautiful
You can hear him screaming “I’M NOT OWNED! I’M NOT OWNED!!!” right through the internet
This guy is turning more and more into a Musk wannabe by the day.
According to the internet spez’s net worth is 8 to 10 million dollars. Even if that’s wildly incorrect, he isn’t even worth an amount of money Musk loses or gains in a few minutes of a normal day.
Well, seeing as how the Muskrat is his idol, that tracks https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/reddit-blackout-protest-private-ceo-elon-musk-huffman-rcna89700
When I read that I knew Reddit was doomed.
Just a week earlier, if that, he was talking about how reddit is not going to be Twitter. Oof.
We did it boy, we hurt his feelings!
fu€K $PEz :"))
Personally I never knew this because I see no benefit in boosting Reddit’s traffic - I just don’t bother with it. If I get bored, I’m 80% more likely now to pick up my Kindle and read something and it’s much better.
I have noticed a new tendency, however, as now I’m reading 3 books at the same time - just choose which one to continue each time I pick up… right now re-reading Great Expectations, The Oracle Year, and The Midnight Library…
Curious to know if you’re liking Midnight Library? I’ve heard mixed reviews…
Wait…so if I used Power Delete Suite to add Fuck Spez to all my old comments I could keep my stuff but the bot would make it all invisible to everyone else automatically? That sounds interesting.
Solid plan, sounds like he just made things easier for all of us
Fuck you Spez.
My man
Well, can you make sure he behaves then?
So the way to truly delete ones content is to mass edit and replace with “fuck spez”?
Sounds like a plan.
Gee, it’s a good thing there aren’t dozens of invisible ASCII characters, and even more confusables, some which match the English letters to the pixel!
I used this to get around filters all the time, but I don’t need it to work anymore since I don’t use reddit now so have fun lads and ladies!
Fuck Steve Huffman.
What a stupid little pissbaby.
I don’t know, even piss babys aren’t this stupid. They are, after all, still learning how not to be piss babies. Spez on the other hand has devolved into wallowing in his own shit because he thinks it makes him appear to be in control. Its a large measure worse.
This kind of behavior is what got me to join Lemmy just now. (this is my first ever post in fact.)
I really wasn’t even onboard with the boycott. I thought it was silly and pointless and was planning to just stay on reddit, but then he had to tantrum like a child and go against the very spirit and point of reddit in process.
So here I am. I haven’t deleted my years old reddit account yet, but I probably will at this point. This lemmy federation thing seems like it will do quite nicely.
deleted by creator
If you want to leave reddit with your middle finger held high, make sure to change all of your posts and comments to nonsense first, and then delete them. Then delete your account.
Nah, I don’t care.
Also, that seems like too much effort. Especially with thousands of comments over years. Probably 10s of thousands.
Don’t delete your account, use
https://codepen.io/Deestan/full/gOQagRO/
To delete all your comments (it exports them to a file for you) and you can ask the program to instead write in the comments whatever you want eg “because of the actions of Reddit execs I have moved to lem my”
I think 5hey may be deleting posts that mention the word “Lemmy”
spez is the typical fragile redditor
The best possible perspective I can come up with is that this is a test. It’s all about increasing their marketability for the IPO. Today they’re filtering “Fuck Spez”, tomorrow they’ll be filtering “Fuck <brandname>”. For a fee, of course, or as a side deal on an ad campaign.
Nestlé about to get a big invoice!
I actually had Nestle in the <> in my original draft but decided I couldn’t be arsed to figure out where they put the accent. Maybe they’ll charge extra for wildcards: “Fuck Nestl?”
