Instead of deleting your Reddit account, consider using chatgpt to make comments instead (lemmy.world)

And make sure not to click on any links. If enough people use chatgpt or other LLM's to generate comments that are wordy but clearly just filler, it'll give advertisers pause and tank the value of the site as training data. Reddit's response will probably be to start banning users it thinks are doing this but normal users will absolutely be caught in the crossfire.

And throw in normal comments every so often too so it's not that obvious.

Then people who still prefer Reddit to Lemmy could do the same to us and would be totally justified. Do not make internet even worse than it is now. You don't like a service – don't use it. Do not make it worse for everybody else.

bot wars and internet dies

This does make me think you could almost write a Terminator like story as an allegory for bots taking over the Internet.

There's a big difference: unlike Reddit, Lemmy and Kbin aren't actively pissing off the people who manage the place.

Do not make internet even worse than it is now.

That means not leaving your content in Reddit, where it'll attract more people to drop their content there, only to be erased in the future. Because no matter what we do, Reddit is going down and all info there is going with it.

Also worth noting that most content in Reddit is archived anyway, up to March/23 (when Reddit killed Pushshift access), so the actual loss of info would be next to zero.
