It's annoying, but it had to be done.
Good. Separately, I really wish we had a way to search for useful answers on Lemmy. I feel like much of the reddit was exposed through: "question/key words" site: reddit.com googling
I mean, you can do pretty much that by using one of the largest instances. That is most likely to have content from the largest amount of other instances.
Lemmy doesn’t even have a fraction of the useful information you could find on Reddit across lots of topics.
I get what you're saying it's just not as practical. Many won't look for the largest/most relevant instance for their questions.
Try AI tbh. It's saved me from tons of forum posts in pursuit of specialized technical knowledge, where I'd often be lucky to get a response at all.
You have downvotes because lemmy hates LLMs so much. It doesn't reflect reality or the general population. I'm not even critical of the hate, its the communities consensus.
Are LLMs good or just everything else is so enshitified that they look good in comparison?
Purity test not found. It's a tool, it is useful to me and saves me time and trouble.
Just the cost of pissing off all the highly technical users who helped build the place.
Well, this happens if you don't respect your users.
When Reddit's API debacle happened lots of people moved away. Some deleted their comments, some edited them with a message in protest. But sadly the consequences is that a lot of history and useful information got lost in the process.
I don't know how I feel about this. I understand why it's done and even why it needs to be done, but it still makes me sad considering the amount of times where Reddit saved me from massive headaches with IT stuff and so on...
Yup, Reddit fucked us all after we gave them our knowledge for free.
Trick people into thinking they're contributing to a commons, steal the contributions and run. Very understandable that many people decided to retaliate after the betrayal.
I really hope decentralized knowledge bases take off. Aggregating niche knowledge from experts and non-experts everywhere the internet touches is such a valuable proposition!
I had like one useful comment posted to Reddit. I've left it up, and once every few months I get a comment being appreciative for the info.
Reddit gets the traffic because of Google indexing the original post of a user with the problem. People are going to visit it regardless of whether they'll find the answer or not. In fact, if they don't find it, they're more likely to keep browsing posts in the hope of finding something.
As someone who deleted their posts... yes. The goal was to make Reddit worse, by removing my contributions to it because they forgot where their value came from.
My content had some small value to them. They didn't deserve it.

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

good, but it's not enough
The comment says removed, but the user says deleted.
And because of the large number of people who not only left Reddit, but burnt bridges in doing so by using tools to delete or garble their entite post history, it's hard to tell if this was Reddit's doing or just that of a fed-up user who deleted their own posts when leaving the site.

The latter, Reddit doesn't remove your comments and posts when your account gets deleted.

I did the same.
Reddit showed it didn't give a fsck about my user experience with their banning of third party apps, but they still wanted to sell the content I put the effort in to providing.
Screw you guys. You want to make money off hosting my words, whatever. But don't stick a pineapple up my arse at the same time and expect me not to feel it.
