I am willing to bet the most active subreddits that are not too bot infested are the NSFW ones. Reddit AI is going to be creepy and horny.

AI trainers do a lot of work filtering and reformatting the training data. Often that's the most expensive part. There's a lot of synthetic data used these days too, reprocessed by other AIs.

wise_pancake ,

We should have been posting factually incorrect information instead of deleting posts this whole time.

Although I think Reddit does a good job paying factually incorrect information on its own.

ReallyKinda ,

Our collective toilet thoughts are going to fuel the future of robot rhetoric guys

furzegulo ,

i stopped using reddit and deleted my accout and posts when they introduced those fucking nft-avatars and it seems that they've been going downhill ever since that.

Fake4000 OP ,

Those NFT things were just a bad move.

thantik ,

When you delete your account and posts now, unless you edit them first, all deleting them does is hide their visibility in the database. The post is still there.

furzegulo ,

well damn

AtmaJnana ,

they were headed downhill loooong before NFTs became a thing.

PrincessLeiasCat ,

And that’s why I edited+deleted all of mine.

darko8472 ,

Glad I deleted all of my content over there, then.

echo64 ,

This may shock you, but it's not deleted.

Fake4000 OP ,

Yeah. There was this guy who deleted his account but Reddit restored it. Apparently he was going to take them to court based on some GDPR article.

APassenger ,

They still have all the edit history. All editing does is show the last one. The servers would have every version.

this is explicitly illegal under GDPR

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble ,

That's not going to stop them.

but you can sue their ass over it

Ragnarok314159 ,

I attempted to delete all my posts using one of those nuke-Reddit scripts and my account got banned for it.

Fake4000 OP ,

Shit move from Reddit. Glad I jumped ship to lemmy.

Honestly, lemmy has less users compared to Reddit, yet you still get more engagement.

The only engagement you actually get is on super-niche subreddits. Other than that, the "engagement" you get on reddit is largely indistinguishable from bot traffic.

💍 Will you marry me?

Can you pass a capcha?

wise_pancake ,

Are you implying I can’t pick out bridges or motorcycles? I definitely can, but I won’t do it for you as some kind of sick parlor trick.

Speaking of tricks, did you know there are singles in your area!

DarkNightoftheSoul ,
@DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz avatar

Sexy singles- In my area? Are there any weird tricks they don't want me to know? Just one would probably work.

Lemminary ,

They can make entire hot dogs disappear! Crazy, right?

One bite at a time, you sickos. Omg, you pervs.

balancedchaos ,

...didn't have to be the mouth. I'm still impressed.

VubDapple ,

You just engaged.

AbidanYre ,

Or admitted to being a bot.

Spacemanspliff ,

This isn't Reddit though.

AbidanYre ,

I feel like that comment was edited to be less ambiguous.

DarkNightoftheSoul ,
@DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz avatar

I added "on reddit" when I saw people were misunderstanding me.

rebelsimile ,

I come to Lemmy to read threads of people arguing about whether or not they’re talking to each other at all. This is doing it for me.

OpenStars ,

Your stipud ! (both sic and /s btw) -> there, now you don't have to go back to Reddit to recall the nostalgia, you are ... welcome, I guess?:-D

Lemminary ,

Ahhh, that's the stuff. 🤤 Do it again.

OpenStars ,

Your (sic) WRONG!

I may know nothing myself, but I still have an opinion and will share it with you, consent be damned!

(Did that do it?)

EatATaco ,

You are glad that you jumped to where AI companies can get the information for free, but are mad at Reddit for getting paid for it.

I can't make any sense of this.

grue ,

It's like the difference between volunteering and being forced to do community service.

EatATaco ,

In neither case are you forced to do anything so this doesn't make any sense either.

TORFdot0 ,

The difference is that Lemmy admins across the fediverse aren’t making the user experience worse so they can sell the data to corporations for LLM training

EatATaco ,

So it's really that the user experience is getting worse. Feeding ai has nothing to do with it.

ultra ,

I'd rather have AI companies have my data for free than reddshit gettong paid for it

tacofox ,

First of all, tacos are friends, not food..

Secondly, I think it’s more important what they did to achieve this goal, locking down the API behind a paywall was their way of creating value in their data. They knew then that it would be too expensive for independent developers to pay for but didn’t care. They knew the money would be coming AI data brokers.
