This almost happened to me today too.
But instead of going to the reddit link I saw a link to a forum dedicated to the topic I saw searching for (hammocks) and got my quality advice from there instead.

Well, I did log in to overwrite posts and comments periodically and as subs went public again.
And I've been checking in with r/ModCoord every once in a blue moon, but only via teddit and anonymously (not using an account).
But if those don't count those then I haven't been back at all since.
That’s the word on the street from former devs who used to work there. It’s actually a sign of how poor in quality their system is that they don’t have a good way to reverse edits, if still true.
You can use the shreddit cli script from github as it has the same option for free.
I'm very sorry if that was taken personally, that's not how I meant it. You and I, discussing the situation here on KBin, aren't trolling anyone.
Gotcha. Glad we got that misunderstanding cleared up.
But a group of users are doing hurtful and troublesome things
Yeah, it's a form of civil disorder. We should keep in mind they aren't doing this because they enjoy causing trouble, but because they feel that basically this is their only way to be heard.
Those who were banned or demoted, I'd need to know the particulars.
That's why I gave links. But would agree it's reasonable to consider this on a case-by-case basis.
Over time, I've come to accept the essential fact of disability accommodation - companies weigh costs
accessibility measures will not be taken at any time.
I guess I should be grateful that I live in a country where things like this are considered a human right. The semi-galling fact about this in reddit's case is that others stepped in to fill that accessibility gap, and reddit basically didn't care and chucked them out the window.
I say semi as reddit does deserve credit for allowing Red Reader et al to survive.
But apparently the only good third party apps with accessible mod tools are going. Here's a recent experience of someone trying to use the builtin mod tools on the official reddit app and giving up in frustration, https://teddit.adminforge.de/r/ModSupport/comments/14jkqiy/this_is_the_current_experience_moderating_on/
As far as why I would prefer Reddit survive, it's a combination of
Reasonable, but if reddit goes then something else will rise to replace it. I never used digg but apparently it used to lead on all three of these points, until digg shot itself in the foot and refused to listen to the community - giving the chance for reddit to surplant it.
Hey, deja vu?
Actually, this video is about the other video. So the 3rd point - restoring comments after getting the legal request to delete, may not be totally accurate. https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/101759/Reddit-violates-CCPA#entry-comment-413421
But the main gist - that reddit is violating CCPA - is still correct.
Word is that they don't, deletes are soft-deletes but edits aren't so reversible.
In this specific case it looks like it might just be that specific sub being private on the day he deleted, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/99466/Reddit-violates-CCPA#entry-comment-406442
Watching the video i see him deleting from 11 months ago to 12 years ago. But don't see the specific 3 year old posts on r/javascript. Which would be consistent with not being able to see them due to the sub being private.
Totally outrageous. Never in a mlllion years would I have thought this.
Also, totally on par for the course for the current ceo.
I ended up checking a few times via teddit and I noticed the exact same thing. It seems a lot of the non-mod quality contributors have already left.
Those who stayed are probably power users using 3rd party apps. So expect another big drop in quality on July 1st.
Note that redact doesn't always get everything. https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/46805/Strange-phenomenon-while-deleting-my-comments
But agree with the idea. The best way is to use a tool to mass edit and then mass delete. For example https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the
I respect your position on the situation.
You say that, but you also say
Have we not outgrown this kind of valueless trolling?
So I'm not sure which one to believe.
I would personally prefer it survive if at all possible.
Okay, I'll bite. Why?
So why intentionally hurt other users, when you know that's what you're doing?
I am not doing this. reddit is the one doing this, by going after their ~~mods~~ unpaid volunteers with demands, and shutting down subs when they can't find replacement mods.
But I'll go further and ask this - what am I specifically doing that is hurting other users? Can you actually identify and name the specific action or actions that I've done that are hurtful? Have I actually taken any action aside from expressing an opinion?
If reddit can't survive just because I've expressed an opinion, then they're already dead.
It's obvious that the company isn't going to change course because they need to get very profitable, very quickly
Usually that's a sign that the company needs to change course. The evidence is that by upsetting the users and community, reddit has lost revenue. Yet reddit continues to shoot itself in the foot.
Do people think it will be a badge of honor that they were still trolling when Reddit died?
Not trolling, expressing my true beliefs.
But yes, I think a badge of honour is deserved for all those who got banned for protestng https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/51891/Mildly-NSFW-Welp-I-guess-that-s-it-The-single-photo https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/71930/Reddit-admins-have-gone-off-the-deep-end-Banned-for-sexual
And for those mods who were removed by reddit https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/69025/The-entire-mod-team-of-r-MildlyInteresting-22m-just-got-the https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/67350/All-mods-on-r-TIHI-have-been-removed https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65935/Reddit-just-removed-all-the-mods-from-r-self-and-locked https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/59559/Removed-as-moderator-of-r-Celebrities-after-14-years
Perhaps even for those who didn't do anything, and got preemptively banned by reddit anyways, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/90636/u-Awkwardtheturtle-posting-an-update-on-her-reddit-ban
And for all of their supporters. Remember, we are arguing on the side of the accessibility challenged, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/66862/r-blind-community-migrates-to-Lemmy
So if that doesn't deserve a badge of honour, then I don't want to know what does.
Can confirm. Exact same scenario. Being permabanned means having read-only access for the most part, with the sole exception being that one is allowed to edit and delete existing posts and comments.
