A bunch of subs have been asking their users the same thing - some don’t have the scores hidden and “return to normal” was losing in all of them when I voted!
Its a good idea to screenshot any you come across in case they change later there is evidence of tampering
/r/pics was originally hidden, I think just because they were new comments. I check after a few hours and it was like 34k upvotes for john and like -8k on the return to normal comment.
I love democracy
They really should do these polls on a platform reddit can't mess with the results of. Like just link to an external poll in the thread.
No no, the CEO of Reddit who was definitely not caught altering other user's comments and altering vote numbers would never consider altering the vote count on these polls. Certainly not. Definitely not.
The real malicious compliance would be to move the community to lemmy.
I'm so changing the vote scores if I'm a reddit admin. Just saying.
They should really have used a polling site off Reddit to avoid that, but then, I suppose that if Reddit honestly got caught fiddling the scores -- like, say, a huge instant jump at the end -- that would be pretty catastrophic from a PR standpoint for the admins doing it.
that would be pretty catastrophic from a PR standpoint for the admins doing it.
After all the bad PR L's Reddit has been taking lately, I feel like they'd just add it to the pile. They clearly don't care about anything other than money at this point.
which is weird.. because they're kinda burning their value at the moment
They clearly dgaf about their PR anymore lol
looooool i know how this is going to turn out.
I've done my duty and voted haha
The last time I'm visiting reddit
please dont let it be your last time.
": if you replace the content of your posts/comments with nonsense, you'll make Reddit Inc. (including its CEO) lose money."
"There's a good chance that those API price changes were motivated by large businesses using Reddit to train their large language models (LLMs) with. Stuff like GPT-3, Google's BERT, Facebook's Galactica, stuff like this. In other words, your content will be used to train bots. (It is, already.)
Those models can be "poisoned" with random, machine generated nonsense. Poisoned data is worse than useless: it makes the model worse. So for each person replacing their Reddit content with nonsense, those businesses will be willing to pay Reddit Inc. less and less for API access."
"Here is a mini-tutorial on how to do this. It's for desktop users but you'll likely be able to do the same from a phone browser.
If you don't like Zompist's gen and/or Power Delete Suite, you can use any generator and/or Reddit mass edition tool of your choice."
and yes, i am somewhat still on reddit but i think i do more against them when my app does not work anymore (to spread lemmy or information) i will follow this process
Do you know of any generators that create things that are in English, seem normal at first glance, but are actually nonsensical? Things like "has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"
I'd like something plausible enough to be accepted by an AI model but that ends up making it sound like it's having a stroke.
i found:
Love it!
Consciousness consists of bio-electricity of quantum energy. “Quantum” means an ennobling of the sensual. Nothing is impossible. To navigate the path is to become one with it.
I hate that these almost make sense
Edit: I got "Spam rains heavily." Very fitting lol
Already deleted my 10+ years account, before i know this. And before i know that Reddit could easily revert back the changes that i've made. But what's done is done. Now i just want to focus on this Fediverse community. Never felt so great to be part of a growing community
you could give this advice to others. even if you cant do more damage anymore you could bring others to do damage
I dont think reddit restoring stuff you wanted to delete from your account would be considered legal lmao
Here's the post I'm talking about
True, but if you search around, you'll find post that says reddit reverting changes the user made, such as restoring a deleted comment, restoring a comment that have been edited, even going back to a 5 year post.
Now, cant verify is this true or not, because i already deleted my account. And i dont know if this is an after effect because reddit crashed after most of it subreddits went dark, and reddit tries to restore its dataase.
But I dont think we "own" our data when we gave it to Reddit or any other service providers. All we can hope is that, that Service Provider respect our request :)
This is incredible lmao thanks
thanks, that is what I needed
There could still be communities that are still there, though.
The more the merrier!
Kinda wish I hadn't deleted my account now :P
Could’ve gone with “r/aww is for cute photos of A World War”

Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.
