I got a reply to a 9.5 year old comment two days ago…

I don’t think they’ll delete this. This is their future.

I have a silly need to buy tech for no reason

Me too, I have three of them now plus an old chromebook that I rooted and installed linux on when the price of a PI was skyhigh during the pandemic. The chromebook set me back $40. Installing PeppermintOS on it was pretty easy.

I’ve bought two on eBay in the last year. Got the last one for around $135 and it was a kit.

No way Im running linux on a Mac. That’s what a raspberry pi is for.

That ain’t gonna happen.

I’m trying. It’s hard when they keep falling face-first into the pavement on a weekly basis.

I’m still in the transition phase. I was pretty intertwined with the site so it takes a little time to unwind all of that.

Heard. Twitter seems like the main nazi site now though.

Throw coins and awards on the pile.

My highest voted comment of all time got 11.4K upvotes. It was a comment on a meme thread with a blockquote of some text from the meme.

My comment consisted of one word: “gold”.

Interesting solution to the problem…

This kind of sums me up too. I’m still checking some meta subs to keep up with the terrible decisions they’re making.

Just wow.

How would you propose getting every mod in Reddit to follow you plan? You’re talking about something in the range of 40,000 people or more.

A lot of subs will ban you for overwriting comments with a script.

Thank you for this post. I was hoping I could ask you a couple of questions because I also had to make some modifications to get Lemmy up and running. I don’t have email yet because my isp blocks post 25 and I haven’t gotten around to requesting an unblock yet.

I see you’ve modified your hjson file to use gmail. The default config syntax for email is:

email: {
    smtp_server: "postfix:25"
    smtp_from_address: "noreply@{{ domain }}"
    tls_type: "none"
  }```

My question is, can I just drop in your email syntax with my information and the instance will use gmail instead of the default?

Reddit uses something called listings which contain 1000 items. If you have more than 1000 comments on your account, you will only ever be able to view the last 1000 of them on a page like that. If you delete 50 comments, the listing is now only 950, it does not refill.

Reddit has given us plenty of legitimate reasons. It’s disappointing seeing people fall for conspiracy theories. Reddit doesn’t care that you’ve deleted your comments. It really reveals something I think, and that is a self centered-ness that people have that reddit would find their comments so valuable that they would create a mechanism to restore them after deletion. People who propagate this conspiracy theory reveal more about themselves than anything else.
