michael-laugh Did they back up all of their posts? Will they really go dig one out for you if you need to know the in depth conversation they were having about whatever the fuck I ended up on that page for?

This was when the API changes were happening, taking search results from Reddit actually does something. World didn't suck at first, and FMHY was a great piracy based instance before it went down. This was pretty normal on the piracy instances.

I think alot of people did this. I'm too lazy so I just deleted my account

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

Does it really matter? Props to them for actually deleting all their reddit posts and making Reddit that bit less usable for everyone else.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

they likely used the gdpr data export thingy to get a copy of all their posts yeah

I don't think this should be dunked on. This does drive some traffic and isn't a worthless action to do if you're deleting your reddit account anyway. Their choice being lemmyworld is shit but if people doing this results in just a handful of extra users created then it's better than not doing it.

I don't mind the advertising for lemmy, what I do mind is that this person thinks anyone is going to miss them off reddit and will come look for them, and they think anyone is going to reach out to them literally just to lookup whatever their post was. The gall to assume literally anyone cares about what they posted on reddit is hilarious to me.

A ton of tech support threads are now dead from deleted comments, so if you're active on those it makes sense that someone might want to know the solution to some computer issues that's now been replaced.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Absolutely do this but to random lemmy.world users.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

i think ill do that for my porn commenting account.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

I changed all mine to say "cum" and then deleted them

Did you find this by chance? I'm very surprised it would show up, given that overdone link spam will get any comment with that link shadow deleted

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

I found this by complete chance. I was searching for a way to pirate Minecraft mods that have a patreon lock on them and was just scrolling through that thread trying to see if anyone had a good answer.

jic u didnt find out yet unless the mod requires u to login to a patreon account to play, go to kemono.party to pirate anything on patreon

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I didn't know paid Minecraft mods were even a thing. I mean, I probably should have, but still.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

These ones are free but they have some more advanced features locked behind a patreon wall

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Imagine still browsing reddit

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I just landed on that page from a random Google search but yeah

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
