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

This is why he’ll win. Because Republicans live in an echo chamber where they think Biden is incompetent. If you look at the record he’s the best president since FDR.

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

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.

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.

It appears Mlem doesn’t allow you to edit comments. Weird.

And predictably the only guy in the thread who understands how Reddit’s listings work was downvoted. I guess some things never change.

This is more a function of how Reddit’s databases and listings work. Automated tools can’t find all of your content because of the limitations on listings. It’s really funny though that people are ascribing abilities to a company with a very low competency level.

The way listings work on reddit is very confusing to most users. I used to think that listings refilled once you removed things from them, but they don’t. If you have more than 1000 posts, comments, or whatever, you won’t ever see the 1001st thing.
