Took a peek on Reddit, it really boggles my mind how oblivious and obedient people are. (lemmy.ca)

I decided to take a peek at Reddit to see what kind of activity is happening, a good handful of the subreddits I am subscribed to are still super active with posts and commenters.

There's quite a few news articles on the front page regarding Spez and the blackouts, I am surprised those articles are even still up for people to see.

The comment section is filled with people saying how they should just kick the mods out of the dark Reddit's and take over, ofcourse these posts are heavily upvoted...

Perhaps there is some AI activity going on, I mean it's kind of easy to do in this day and age. You just prompt an army of AI bots to defend Reddit, and try to keep users engaged.

I am so happy I found Lemmy, and I am so happy that there is a comfortable level of activity. Sure it's only a small fraction of what Reddit is activity wise, but it's so much more hearty and welcoming.

Reddit has just turned into one big toxic mess. Lemmy reminds me of what Reddit used to be 10 years ago.

Yes, I did that like many others before me. Here you go: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

Some reported that edited/deleted posts/comments reverted back 'by themselves'. I'm not sure wether that's reddit restoring "their content", or wether it's because some content was locked in blackout subreddits at the time of editing/deleting. Either way, it's probably good to check again after a few days and repeat the process.

My comments are partially edited, partially original. Will plow them again tomorrow.
