Bought a car, it's tyre repeatedly deflated every 3 days, kept taking it into the garage and they said they'd fix it each time. Third time, drop car off, they tried telling me its the cold weather thats causing ONE tyre to keep going down.
I tell them thats bullshit, take their courtesy car for the day, I had a 40mile commute each way. The hire car had 20miles of fuel in it so had to find a garage quick.
When I returned it that night, I had to nurture it home, and it ticked over to 0 miles left as I free-wheeled into their forecourt. I had some satisfaction that day. That day, they actually fixed the tyre.
I clicked thinking the headline sounded like something written by a low-ambition mad scientist raising a mantid army to conquer the local insect ecology. Imagine my surprise when I was right!
This is my issue with redditors deleting all their content from reddit. I agree with leaving because of the policy changes, but I think that adopting a scorched earth policy, mostly harms other users.
I think many were just that disgusted still - but I do agree. Why I left mine if posted under technical subs - otherwise I removed mine by overwriting.
Indeed. I at least think they should repost the helpful information here to Lemmy so that users still have access to it, I understand driving traffic away from Reddit but we should keep that useful information open to the community.
You’re absolutely correct. It would need to be done manually and I understand people not wanting to put that effort in, I just feel bad about the information being lost.
Yeah, personally I would have preferred keeping the content with some pretext like [This user has opted to leave reddit because of changes listed (here) and (here). Their content will remain in case someone needs this answer in the future, but will be providing new content over at Lemmy).
The AI is already trained, deleting it didn’t do much, or if the AI will continue to train hopefully text like that will start popping up in it.
On some level, protest is about harming other people, at least mildly. Protests are frustrating. Protests are interrupting. Protested make it more difficult for people to do what they want.
This is by design. This is part of the point.
Protests that aren't inconveniencing people are protests that can be safely ignored.
It's all the better, though, when those inconveniences can be paired with a clear alternative for people to turn to to have their needs met.
The distinguishment needs to be made that inconveniencing people who cannot make the needed change makes the entire protest immediately irrelevant.
For example, protesting in the middle of a highway does not inconvenience anyone that has the power to make a change. Those politicians are far away from the protest and don’t care because it doesn’t effect them or their pocketbook.
For Reddit, making it inconvenient for other users directly effects Reddit. Less and less user traffic is a major inconvenience for a tech company attempting to IPO. And they have the power to change. However, at this point the damage is beyond rolling back, I think.
