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?
[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.
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.
