I think I finally reached my breaking point with reddit (about time). Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover. A day or so later I mistakenly posted on the sub using my secondary account. That’s on me. The /r/teslamotors admins gave me a permaban and reddit gave me 7 day site ban. I can take my lumps so whatever.
However, apparently I commented today on /r/teslamotors using the account that received the permaban. Dumbass reddit gave me another 7 day site ban for ban evasion. WTF? Either a software bug allowed me to comment or /r/teslamotors lifted my ban for some reason.
Neither of those constitute ban evasion IMHO. I’m also tired of using old.reddit.com in phone browser since they killed apis.
Instead of deleting it, flood it with Lorem Ipsum spam, give their AI buyers some ‘real’ quality content.
AI generated hardcore furry fanfic is a good start.
I scrubbed everything with Redact this morning. Some mods got butthurt because all the comment edits show up in their mod queue (a friend is a moderator on one sub)
Now making mods butthurt is something I can get behind.
Late to the conversation by a week but there’s a planetside fanfic called spitty bae in which a woman has a very interesting encounter with a spitfire turret
So here’s to hoping it picks that up
Fucking brilliant and much harder to revert!
I promise Reddit is not selling the production database and a first year data engineer will be able to use SQL to disregard lorem Ipsum posts anyway.
3 rules could probably clean the whole thing. And it won’t be the new employees processing the data.
Basically if Loren Ipsum is encountered replace post data with last backup post that doesnt have it. I’ve worked with data engineers who could run the commands in their sleep.
Even worse, maybe the database just contains every revision to a post anyway, making the project even more trivial.
