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?

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

This is the most straightforward

I just went with

[ deleted ]

I would recommend sending people to the all-kbin-instances landing at https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list rather than sending them directly to kbin.social, which seems to be causing issues for Ernest due to crowding. The nature of the fediverse is that we should be spreading out.

metaljackL,

Nice. I think I'll change mine to [Fallen comment during the Great API Wars ]

axtualdave,

I was bored, so I pulled the most recent 50 comments, fed them into a Markov chain generator, and asked for a new response for every comment I edited. Then I aimed the Power Delete Suite at it, because I am of the opinion that I don't want my data to appear on Reddit. For me, "Fuck you, I'm out," is a far more powerful message than anything I could say about corporate greed.

nameless_prole,

You, my friend, are an agent of chaos

abff08f4813c,

My comment was even longer and wordier than yours. Feel free to make it more concise - but in your place I would just use what you've written without any further revision.
