Discovery is never gonna work on the fediverse. Info is too scattered. Sure, large servers will get discovered, but not smaller ones. They come and go, URLs change… it’s a mess.

You delete comments here as well?

Oh, yeah, makes sence in that case. Thought it was some other general information, like troubleshooting info.

I can get behind stuff like this, sure, but not with stuff like I posted 😒. There was valuable info there that could’ve solved my problem in an instant, but I just had to go the long way around 😒.

Could I ask why you would delete your own comments after a week of two?

I managed to get pointed in the right direction, but no thanks to that user 😒.

Doesn’t matter, I have no idea who the user is.

I did… zero replies 😒. And I asked on reddit as well. Didn’t get an exact answer, but at least I got pointed in the right direction.

Not affect anyone, it will affect search engines… but, not much nore than that.

And the protests proved inaffective, as I initially thought and said to many, just move, no need to protest, just leave for Lemmy and leave your accounts. That was all that was needed and no protest in the world is gonna beat reddit or the admins that will just overried your NSFW settings. Leaving the platform says way more than protesting this or that.

And no, if the point of the protest was to just delete all info from reddit, then I would’ve never been behind that protest. The delete everything idea was promoted by some extreme protesters and unfortunatelly, some users went allong with that.

That’s not the point… it was eight there… right there, no need to dig deeper… and it wasn’t like a 30GB bluray rip went missing, it was just a few lines of text, a few very valuable lines of text… but no, some people thought it’s more imoortant to protest than the freedom of information 😒… info that they once shared BTW, no one forced them to do it, but no, some of the protesters thought it was a good idea yo delete all of the content and their accounts… please explain how this is a good idea.

Didn’t know where to put it… just thought might pass as a meme…

They’re gonna profit regardless if you leave the info there or not, AI has already scraped that info. The only ones that get the sharper end of the stick are users like you and me when troubleshooting.

Exactly my thoughts… just leave man, I left as well 🤷. They won’t get any more info from you but leave the info alone, it’s valuable when people troubleshoot online.

I asked the same question on the Void comm here, no replies 😒.

Some people just don’t get it, some subs will never shift over to Lemmy… ever. The Void sub is a perfect example, their sub is their help/troubleshooting forum. It’s a means to an end for them and the maintainers will never ever shift over here. Too unstable and unusuable for them. Basically, they don’t care about reddit policy or API pricing, it doesn’t affect them, it’s a niche sub. And the number of people on Lemmy that use Void is… just close to none… and even if there are some, they probably don’t know how to fix the problem I’ve been having since I asked and there were no replies. I litelarly copy/pasted the same title and text there, on reddit whwn I asked the question.

Oh really, and where are you searching for answers when troubleshooting, the library 😒?

Sorry, read it wrong 😁.

OK, will try that as well.

You don’t see the problem here… I’m sorry, I just can’t see a common ground on which we can discuss this problem.

And I have shared info for free as well, wheter it be reddit or some other place, doesn’t matter… and I will continue to do it… and it will never ever occur to me to delete said data from any site or social media, forum, whatever. Data and info is just too valuable IMO and not you or me has the right to remove it once it’s been shared. That’s my stand on things. Most people won’t agree with this, but this is my reasoning.

Dude, that’s not the point, the point is, the info was right there, and now, it’s not… it’s frustrating when you know that someone had the exact same issue as you and asked on reddit and there was a reply that solves the problem, but someone protesting thought it was a good idea to delete all of his/hers comments, plus the user 😒.

I agree with protesting, but this is just… excuse the language, but idiotic IMO.

That doesn’t mean his strategy and approach is good.
