What did you guys replace your reddit comments with?

I'm considering rewriting all of my comments, but I want to do this carefully and correctly because I'd eventually want to delete the account, so I wouldn't be able to make changes

I want to keep it short and sweet, but be informative, make very good points, and hopefully persuade any user to try out the fediverse

What did you guys change yours to? I'm thinking something along the lines of this:

This comment has been rewritten so that its' content is removed. On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit. This hurts many types of users, and the way that the CEO has handled the situation is not right at all. Reddit is another victim of pure corporate greed.

Some may not consider this important to them, but for anyone who sees this, I strongly encourage you to join the fediverse. It will be confusing at first, but it is very welcoming :) Alternative platforms:

I feel like it's too wordy (I tend to ramble). I'm trying to find compact "elegantly worded" reasons about what's going on and why it's wrong, with links of good posts, but a lot of that is on reddit. Can you guys help a bro out?

Zellith,

Nothing. POOF.

I said this:

"This user moved to the Fediverse after nearly 10 years on the site due to the proposed API changes Reddit announced in early June 2023."

Deleted most of my comments but ones that reddit restored and the ones I haven't deleted have been replaced with chatgpt rephrasing so the comments is still relevant but LLM would hate it.

I just used Power Suite Delete on my 14 year old account, worked out pretty well

I automatically replaced my many years of comments with long strings of randomly-selected words, then deleted them.

This way, if they do bulk-restore deleted comments, they'll have swallowed a poison-pill since my comments will actually be harmful rather than helpful to the LLM learning Spez wants to profit from.

    i think it's just that boost adds 1 reputation, downvote removes 1 reputation and upvote does nothing to the reputation and people tend to click the arrows more instead of the "boost" text

    What do you use to rewrite your comments?

    I was just permanently banned from /r/damnthatsinteresting (which currently does not have any mods) for a 4-month old comment I edited with PDS.
    It sounds like they very much don’t like that we are doing this :)
    My edit read a lot like the first post here, but I didn’t mention the fediverse at all. I did say that I used Power Delete Suite, though.
    No swearing, nothing like that.
    It had around 150 upvotes at the time of edit.

    What the heck?!!! If there are no mods then who's doing the banning???

    That sub (and many others) have odd rules right now as a part of the protest. Some have gone as far as making everyone a moderator.

    This likely has nothing to do with reddit inc directly.

    I'm inviting people to Lemmy/kbin with this rn

    but when I do delete it after Sync for Lemmy is out, I'll replace them with

    Reddit has killed off third party apps and most bots along with their moderation tools, functionality, and accessibility features that allowed people with blindness and other disabilities to take part in discussions on the platform. All so they could show more ads in their non-functional app.

    Consider moving to Lemmy/kbin, two better and compatible alternatives to reddit (picture explains how) that many subs and users have moved to: sub.rehab

    Reddit Sync's dev has turned the app into Sync for Lemmy (Android) instead, and Memmy for Lemmy (iOS) is heavily inspired by Apollo.

    You only need one account on any Lemmy or kbin server/instance to access everything; doesn't matter which because they're all connected. Lemmy.world, Lemm.ee, vlemmy.net, kbin.social, fedia.io are all great for example.

    Feel free to share and use this.

    [This comment was deleted in response to Reddit’s June 2023 API changes. Consider migrating to Kbin or Lemmy.]

    That would communicate the same message with way, way fewer words.

    Can I ask what tools people are using to mass edit their Reddit comments?

    abff08f4813c,

    I describe exactly what I did and used in my two articles - https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the and https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/59451/Finally-Managed-to-erase-all-1477-of-my-comments

    The original author of that script posted it here - https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/16226/Wrote-a-script-to-edit-all-my-posts
