Just deleted my Reddit account because of a couple reasons. One, I barely used it after the API pricing protests, and two, Reddit is allowing users’ posts to be used as AI training data, which I find reprehensible for obvious reasons. I will admit that I feel pretty sad about it, though, because I made my account back before Reddit completely went down the shitter and was actually kinda decent. I hope more people use Lemmy or Kbin because it’s feeling pretty lonely here in the Fediverse. Sorry this vent isn’t particularly sad. I’m just kinda bummed about this is all.
P.S. obligatory fuck u/spez lololololol
I used Power Delete Suite to overwrite all my comments with nonsense. The hope is they can’t profit off my thoughts by training AI.
Even better. Replace your comments with AI nonsense. This way not only is it harder to tell you did it, and restore from backup, but you also poison any of their trained models.
