News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
You might want to look in to the reputation of the developer (Saltman, I believe) if such things matter to you. I don't personally know much, but it's evidently pretty mixed; maybe even a deep dive there FWIW.
Another common problem I've heard about redaction tools in general is that if you delete your stuff all at once, and Reddit assigns you a positive internal value, then there's a chance that they'll later restore all your posts & comments without warning. Some people have mentioned that they worked around that by using a service that only poisons or deletes stuff in small batches over time. I'm also inclined to think that if your 'poison' message is too consistent, then it's easier to spot, so a service that could substitute a list of vaguely-plausible text might be best.
Funnily enough, this might be a good time to use AI slop against the sloppers, so to speak. Let an LLM or whatnot create substitute material that fit your original contributions, while still being useless to anyone. XD
Thanks for the heads up on this!
I'm starting to think I may just do this manually over a couple of weeks.
Look in to the time frame involved in which others deleted their stuff. My concern is that if it's too quick, Reddit may flag that and restore it.
