I think it looks really good as the first thing you see when you click my profile, what do you think?
PSA: Please don’t stick your dick in reddit, as it is fucked enough already.
man what an age to be alive, the age of spin.
gone are the days that we saw true outrage or despair happen in the moment.
now we must properly primp and curate how we will be perceived candidly, which is just about the dumbest and pettiest shit i can think of.
“i want my profile to look like i was really sticking it to the man” is an admittedly silly look imo
that being said, go off and you be you because what matters is you got off the shithole of reddit.
what speaks louder than demonstrative curated comment history is lots of people leaving en masse and going to another service. the more people come over, the more others will adopt the new standard.
Lol I got those same kind of comments every time I said something negative about reddit during the protest. Haven’t been back since, go figure.
Idk, I just deleted mine. Anything anyone has or will ever do on that platform will disappear if they fail so why bother. It’s the equivalent of scrolling fuck on a bathroom stall before they demolish the building and if it stays up the same but with onlookers barely paying any mind as they take a massive dump.
Yeah I got so many hate comments any time I would speak out towards the protests. Even in communities I was deeply ingrained in and people I have interacted with over years on the site. Shame that a website can cause people to become so divided.
most of those were probably GPT bots
Most “users” on reddit are probably bots to drive up engagement and hide how many are not there anymore…

Ok so, the reddit protests in question are not older than GPT. Some have even theorized the 3rd party app /API killing off was DUE TO GPT training resources eating up reddit bandwidth (im very much trivializing that).
This Lemmy post we are discussing here, was about the protests and the reactions to comments in regard to the protest. So i dont understand why you are bringing up the sum total age of reddit.com. I was there for 12 years, I think i’ve got an idea of the chronology.
Nothing you’ve stated is of use in context, GPT.

i can see your knowledge is as antiquated as reddit’s interface. cool. I guess you know basically nothing then.
You have to download terabytes of info to host your own AI
Really,? talk to me about LLMs please, ill wait for you to google it, thats fine.
I’ve got 7 custom AI chat bots on my normal desktop PC that beg to differ with your outdated opinions. I dont even do this professionally and i’ve got all the resources to AI bot spam if I so chose to. Which I think would be a significant waste of my time (not to mention I have no aspirations that would be furthered by this)

your deletion and reposting of this doesn’t seem to hav e changed much. you could have used the edit function instead.
If you care, you’re embarrassing yourself in front of any people who actually know whats up.
Feel free to do some homework, for starters LLM stands for Large Language Model, not Language Learning model (using gpt to look that up failed you? or you just suck at googling??)
ill just drop this here and you can either ignore it and fuck off, or you can choose to attempt burning some calories with that overactive brain of yours, and actually getting up to speed. your choice, im impartial.

Edit: the ignore it and fuck off it is then
My last comment on reddit is “Fuck /u/spez” too. I didn’t do anything as radical as deleting my comments/posts, nor made any definitive statements but while I lurked a few times there, I never made a new comment since June 30. And by now I’m becoming confident that it will stay that way.
Thee u neth week 😫
The smugness of that comment
My last comment in reddit was something along the lines “good luck fellas, it’s been a good ride”
I haven’t used Facebook for years. It bored me after 20 minutes, I wasn’t sure what else to do there, I closed the tab, I went away. I never made a post about how I’m packing up my little hobo bags and leaving forever, you’ll all be sorry!! I just went, quietly, and never came back.
I lie, every three months I poke my head in there, and then once I actually sold something on Marketplace, for $80, so FB is the only fucking social website that has ever made me money despite being the one I never use. One of these days I’ll get on there and try to find out my brother’s current address, but he doesn’t respond to messages anymore, either.
LIkewise, I quit Twitter, shorty before the Elonpocalypse, because it just sucked. I didn’t like being there, and wasn’t having any fun. So I just stopped going there, quietly, telling nobody, I left. Now you have to login to even see it, and yeah, haven’t logged in there in forever. I hear they changed the name.
That’s how it looks when you actually quit a place. You just quietly disappear one day, like a fish slipping under the waves. Who knows, maybe you’ll find a reason to come back, you know? And it would look stupid as hell if you made some big fucking scene about leaving and then had to crawl back in, WOULDN’T IT?
Maybe you want to sell an old drumset, or ask a question, you never know. So you slip quietly out the side door, you don’t even slam it, and then you forget to show up again for months at a time, or never again. When was the last time you logged into MySpace?
You? You look like you’re going to found a subreddit called r/ExRedditors. Move on, already. The future beckons.
I wish I hadn’t read all that.
Yeah the energy to write that was not worth the payout
Looks like they were almost right. Just off by three weeks.
I love how spineless people just assume everyone else is as equally unprincipled
They aren’t that wrong, most normies on the internet have a gummy worm as spine…
Not us that are actually here obviously…
I take it as similar to the “cya next week” comments RE RuneScape (or really any other thing on the internet)… they’re kinda half serious half kidding acknowledgements of something’s addictiveness. I wouldn’t read too much into it.
The ones like in this screenshot may have the benefit of the doubt that they’re as you say, but I also remember much less ambiguous ones that clearly weren’t half jokes.
Honestly saw that so many times and it cracked me up every time. “You’ll be back” they said, like they couldn’t imagine the possibility of a life without Reddit. It’s a fucking social media site, you really think I care that much? I just used sync until it stopped working, and it asked “why not sign up for lemmy?” It’s that simple.
That is an amazing way to move you over, and I fully fully support the slight underhand of it all.
It makes moving the default option for those using the app. Not bad.
I think it’s also that a scary number of people seem to lack any empathy. So they literally can’t put themselves in anybody else’s shoes for even a moment.
like they couldn’t imagine the possibility of a life without Reddit
That’s exactly what they are saying with that comment and that’s sad as fuck
I just want to have some slight interaction with people on my wavelength. I don’t care of it’s here or a BBS or Usenet or Myspace.
Exactly what I’m looking for too. It does not need to be be on the site or system with the biggest user count.
Bring back Friendster!
I just want to relive the MSN days.
“You’ve got mail!”
“CoolGuy75😛 has just sent you a Nudge!”
Honestly I’m not as principled as some people but I noticed that I drastically reduced my presence there and it’s going down. I think a lot might have to do that RiF is missing (unrelated, but RIF’s author made a client for tildes.net called weirdly Three Cheers) and I refuse to install their spammy app.
Same, i also think that it somewhat improved my well being since I’m less focused on what ppl online think. And I do still kinda miss reddit, not the platform but the people and the communities rip apollo.
Pretty much the same experience. I just gradually stopped using reddit in favor of Lemmy.world and when I realized I hadn’t touched my reddit account in two weeks I simply… Deleted it.
Yep, it’s impressive that so many people still have trust in reddit, and also funny that the next comment was removed by Reddit, probably someone saying something about lemmy I would imagine
pretty sure OP just commented [removed by reddit]
They just assume that because they continue to see anyone, that they are still seeing everyone.
A job I used to work at a long time had an enlightening moment for me when I had put my 2 weeks in.
There were two camps of people: those that were happy for me - “wow, awesome, tell me about the new place” And those that were cynical - “you will end up back here anyway”
I found that the people who behaved cynically truly do end up filtering back in and the people willing to see that other options exist and can even be better end up moving on.
It’s almost as if your attitude and outlook determine your actions.
Like, I get it. Some people were dealt a bad hand, and they have a shitty life through no fault of their own. But there’s a huge difference between “Shit sucks” and "Shit sucks and cannot possibly ever change." If you believe that everybody who has a shitty job is doomed to be stuck with that shitty job for the rest of their life, then you’re delusional. Your beliefs do not align with reality.
Projection is a hell of a drug.
