While i agree r/science was terrible at this, it at least kept the conversation relevant. On new discoveries its nice to read about the science rather than: “here comes the end” or some fart joke.
Id like to think this meme is directed towards user exodus rather than moderation to keep things on topic. I hope that the fediverse keeps things on topic and doesn’t complain too much about moderation when it’s necessary.
If Reddit moderators only removed content for the sake of keeping things on topic, people wouldn't hate the place so much. There's a reason the mods over there are so universally maligned, and it's not because they're beacons of rationality and objective reasoning.
The best part is if you got notified a comment was removed you couldn't see what the comment was and they wouldn't tell you what rule it broke most of the time. If you asked they'd blow you off.
All r/science was, was r/politics...every fucking "study" was from sudo science bullshit that just allowed everyone to circle jerk each other about their own bias. Hell that meav mod was just a repost bot that posted non stop from that psychology today website and then sold their account...and it's still a fuckin mod.
I just got eventually banned every time I posted that mvae or w/e the fuck that mods name was, was a bot just posting political shit hidden as "science".
Lol, mvea eventually blocked me because I kept commenting on his/its posts about the piss poor quality of the articles that he/it shared. Good. I was tired of seeing the psypost slop posted by that account.
Old ass post, but I'm glad I'm not the only one that got tired of that bot/mod posting psuedo science as legit studies and people on reddit gobbling it up just because it fed their echo chamber thoughts.
I quit that sub when I got the 100th study with a sample size of 20, talking about some clickbaity shit that was going to be silently disproven a few years later.
That shit was sooo fucking annoying. "We went to a klan rally, and polled the 10 white guys there" All said they vote republican...Title: "All republicans are KKK members study shows"...like what in the literal fuck
r/science didn't allow jokes, off topic comments, low effort references, or anti-science rhetoric from morons who barely passed high school chemistry so anything that hit trending would have to get nuked from orbit.
Me, too. Is r/science still there? Last I heard they opened up the sub again, contingent on very specific benchmarks for Reddit making their app functional for moderating that I sincerely doubt they will meet ...
Any time I'd use reveddit or similar sites to restore comments deleted from there, it was always stupid jokes or anecdotal stories, never anything directly about the post.
I think /r/science is misunderstood. The moderators had quite a clear vision on the kind of discussion they wanted and the kind they did not. This caused some friction every time a post reached /r/all but I don't see that as a bad thing.
If anything that's an ideal situation. People encounter a new community they're interested in, break some rules in ignorance, the mods interfere and the violations are rolled back, the new users then either follow the rules or leave.
Not sure how they're doing with the API changes, pretty sure they had some automation going. Don't think they're compatible with reddit's new view on making communities as interchangeable as possible to stop friction from interfering with ad revenue.
Wow. I've seen then mentioned a few times on here before but never knew the background. I'm a particular fan of them claiming they made john oliver famous through the spam.
The cynic in me absolutely suspectes reddit kept them around just for the traffic they generated. But as soon as the protests started it seems to have been "not like this".
I honestly think the Reddit thing is over. Redditors are a little toxic and condescending. There may not be as much content on Lemmy but it sure feels peaceful.
Reddit notifications scare me, usually it's a bot telling me I did something wrong or a human who wants to call me stupid and down vote my opinions. I stopped commenting because of this.
Also a lot of people remove all of their comments when quitting reddit. There are apps to do it, and thats what I did. So just from me there is over a thousand deleted comments to be encountered
I am ashamed to admit it but I was happy to have my search resources back when the protest slowed down till I clicked on a few and found out people with my interests care about Reddits bs too, therewasn't much left of many threads! 😂
I used web.archive.org to browse the Reddit communities during the blackout, I still actually use it in most cases because it helps both with subreddits that are still private, but also ones where people have deleted their threads.
It might not work with every single one, but it should work with the ones that appear in Google.
That's what it was like for the past year because the mods felt a need to lock and delete comments on 1/4 of all posts on the front page for "reasons". Fuck that shit hole. Let it die.
It is, but its well worth it. What i found is that my comments from 2 or more years ago weren't showing on my profile. So although my profile seems empty, I still have historic comments on the platform that I can't get to unless I know every comment I made and where.
I'm guilty of this as a mod sometimes. When i remove a comment i don't want to leave a hole in the thread, because then people will see replies to a deleted comment and wonder what they said; so i remove the replies as well, resulting in this.

this incident will be reported

Oh damn I didn't even notice the date, apologies for the thread necromancy lol.
I quit that sub when I got the 100th study with a sample size of 20, talking about some clickbaity shit that was going to be silently disproven a few years later.
It was always double-digit sample sizes.

Not even talking about politics. Just shitty science studies with hot takes and low sample sizes.
If your only interaction with it was on trending posts, sure.

You should see the morons that plague science posts on FB
many times i stopped writing a comment when i realized i was on r/science

Every r/science post mentioning uranus
They started adding an automod comment where off-topic replies were allowed.

What happened to him? I only know that this person was a (bad) mod on a whole lot of subs.
Wow, it only takes an online petition to get reddit admins to do their job. Very professional company.
Seeing that dick get his comeuppance is an incredibly rare Reddit admin W.

Now just shut down /r/mademesmile . You'd have to go back to Mao's Red Guards to find worse control freaks.
Good, good…let the Reddit brain drain continue. Do not fear the Lemmy. The lemmy welcomes you. maniacal laugh

Us need to create content for them to exist!
Excuse me while I play my fiddle and watch the flames :D
Just needs a “what happened above?” Comment 😂
That's just beautiful
I've started seeing some deleted by creator comments here, lot of those with lots of upvotes.
Also: "removed by mod".
The beauty here, though, is you can easily cross-reference on the mod log what post was removed and why.
Makes it a lot easier for us former Reddit mods dealing with claims of persecution.

13 year club for me... I edited and deleted every one. Many thousands.
11 years here. Took 2 hrs for all my comments to get deleted
deleted by creator
Same here, but now I wonder if there was a app that edit all those comments in "fuck u_spez"
There is. That's what I did when I deleted my reddit account
I deleted all comments and posts when I deleted my account
I am ashamed to admit it but I was happy to have my search resources back when the protest slowed down till I clicked on a few and found out people with my interests care about Reddits bs too, therewasn't much left of many threads! 😂

That's a big brain move for sure!
Well it certainly would be now
I can find no good information on Reddit. Just all corporate shills

Ahh, such amazing content. I miss Reddit.

I root for the first guy
He made a couple of good points.
Yeah man! You showed them!
I missed it! What did it say?!
Okay, you said it even better!
I missed it! What did it say?!
I think his philosophical argument is fundamentally flawed though

Such a pain to edit or delete comments one by one.
It is, but its well worth it. What i found is that my comments from 2 or more years ago weren't showing on my profile. So although my profile seems empty, I still have historic comments on the platform that I can't get to unless I know every comment I made and where.
deleted by creator
I think it would be better if it said something like "[removed] I've moved to Lemmy"or something like that
The guy throwing the chair makes most sense
Lol so true
I'm guilty of this as a mod sometimes. When i remove a comment i don't want to leave a hole in the thread, because then people will see replies to a deleted comment and wonder what they said; so i remove the replies as well, resulting in this.
It's pick your poison i guess
Stop doing this.
Unintentionally accurate
