Oh please do! Great way to kill your site faster
sure it can. since deleting all accounts the only reason I ever visit Reddit these days is because of search. so yeah make sure I never have a reason to come back
Look and see if your accounts were resurrected, they were un-deleting a ton of comments and other user-removed content when everyone first shifted to here.
i was mostly a lurker but good call. will search while it’s an option!
Note that there isn’t really a way to actually delete your content. You gave Reddit an irrevocable license to it.
Same here! I only visit Reddit to see some post I’ve saw in the search results. By not allowing the pages to be shown in search engines I’m 100% not looking at Reddit at all!
every site (well not every site obviously) has their place and their time. I remember MySpace but I do not miss it
So reddit’s planning on making both reddit and google useless?
Reddit is really gonna go full Digg, aren’t they?
Didn’t spez threaten this last week or something? Seriously, shit or get off the pot. Also, don’t threaten us with a good time.
Why is reddit regarded so highly this way? It’s always been a second rate board to me. Like yeah there’s some technical discussion there. Even notable names might post there. But it’s the social media version of technical side of the internet. It’s generally full of garbage that requires heavy doses of skepticism as bad info often gets visibility. There is no recourse since the nature of reddit engagement is ephemeral. The proverbial concrete sets shortly after the post/comment is made.
I suppose the state off affairs have deteriorated so far that search engines don’t even index the internet properly anymore. Actual discussion boards and websites are basically darknet these days. Internet indexes for all intents and purposes don’t exist today. Search engines a glorified index links to each others social media platforms. Even then the bulk of results are online shopping spam.
What a mess.
For any topic I actually want to dive into I do not use reddit for anything more than initial discovery. Social media by nature commoditizes content to serve the masses by appealing to the lowest common denominators. The bulk of the content never goes below surface level.
Is reddit still a thing?
