How is it possible to view deleted comments?

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago

Whoa since when can you view removed comments?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Good, fuck reddit, anybody with an account should delete all comment history.

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

They just added comment history hiding as well, so now you can’t even tell if some people are engaging in good faith anymore.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 1 hour ago

you cant tell if people are botting/spamming

[–] knobpolisher@feddit.nl 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Are there any tools that can edit your comments to make the ingestion of your data into ai models less worthwhile? Eg. The comments are edited to not be random, superficially look like a human made them, but have very little value when sold by reddit

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

I forget the tool but every once in a while you'll see a comment of gibberish words and it says "comment removed thanks to X".

The service edits the comments instead of erasing them.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 75 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I get that it's annoying, but reddit deserves to burn.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 14 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Reddit as a company is 100% unaffected by this

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

100% unaffected? It makes their data worth a lot less for AI training. Even if they keep comment history, these are edits - how do you determine which edit to use? Using all of them poisons the data, and picking one risks doing the same.

On top of that, reddit has quickly become a non-source for opinions... I used to append "reddit" to any search where I wanted candid feedback, but absolutely would never do that these days. That's less traffic, which is less ad money, which comprises the vast majority of their revenue. Reputation is virtually the only thing that matters for search, and Reddit's reputation has been sliding for years.

That’s less traffic, which is less ad money, which comprises the vast majority of their revenue.

and how many people do the same thing you do? they don't really care about 1% of dedicated users...

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

...you're joking, right? There is not a company in the world that is happy to ignore 1/100th of their revenue disappearing.

Is it going to kill reddit? Of course not. Are they "100% unaffected?" Of course not.

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 1 points 46 minutes ago

the more technical helpful users are likely to do it, you think the vast majority of users give helpful comments?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 17 points 9 hours ago

To an extent they are. Part of the appeal of Reddit was that you could find good answers there. But yeah, the idea that "long term their reputation may suffer" is hardly affecting them in any demonstrable way now.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 hours ago

Sure, but the users are.

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 55 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Good! The users add all the value to that site, moderate if for free and they couldn't even not be cunts about it.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 hour ago

they want propaganda bots mostly now on reddit.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Good for whom?

There's been loads of times where I've looked everywhere for a solution, finally finding it on google page 10+ in an obscure reddit thread with like 10 votes and 4 comments where someone had found a weird, illogical solution to your exact problem, that actually worked.

It's a shame it went to shit. The real losers are us, we lost a lot of knowledge.

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

That doesn't mean I think they should get to keep that stuff. Sure, we lost a lot of knowledge there, and that sucks. But the company lost out and pushed their IPO way back for it and I enjoy seeing Spez suffer after what he did to Aaron's legacy.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

If that's how you feel, that's how you feel. But I personally doubt Reddit as a company have lost out. They still have all the data. And they still have a massive user-base. I'm sure Spez is suffering real bad with his hundreds of millions....

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago

I feel like they lost prestige more broadly but I'm obviously bias being here on Lemmy. We see I guess, I predict them tanking after their IPO.

[–] degen@midwest.social 9 points 9 hours ago

'23 is late enough, but it should be peppered with comments overwritten by 60 random words, just to make it worse

[–] kaotic@lemmy.world 38 points 12 hours ago (8 children)

I really need to go back and delete all my posts, I just dropped it and never went back.

[–] tama@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 4 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

just say something that will you get you banned and they will delete all your comments and posts and your profile. they will appear as [deleted]. much easier tbh

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

they will appear as deleted, but they are not really deleted, they still have them in the database and still make money selling them 🤷‍♂️

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

make sense if reddit is a AI whore, and wants the money, what better way to have extra content from delete comments.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I do wonder how much they soft delete stuff, so they can keep the data to sell. Also if they keto a history, do even if you manually delete/edit, do they have a copy on a server somewhere?

[–] astutemural@midwest.social 6 points 8 hours ago

I used Redact a while back. Super easy. First replaced everything with filler text, then deleted. Just in case mods have auto-rollback for deletion.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Does that help the fight? I was under the impression that they got to keep all the old info

[–] kuhli@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They do, but it makes the site less useable for people, which is a win

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

its pretty hostile to new users, since it sees a new acc as potential spam. reddits goal is to become like FB, just run by bots, but importantly propaganda bots, so less effor to deal with users.

[–] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

What I did was mass edit all my comments. According to reddit customer support (about a year ago at the time), they do not retain old versions of edited comments.

I love that people are removing the solutions, but keeping the “holy shit you just saved me 2-3 full quarters of work”

[–] dion_starfire@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

That's because the person who had the solution removed their comment history, but the person who said thank you didn't.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

… so now they’re linking to the deleted comments? Lol I guess they do need the users…

[–] usernameusername@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

No that's a redlib thing
