I'm considering rewriting all of my comments, but I want to do this carefully and correctly because I'd eventually want to delete the account, so I wouldn't be able to make changes
I want to keep it short and sweet, but be informative, make very good points, and hopefully persuade any user to try out the fediverse
What did you guys change yours to? I'm thinking something along the lines of this:
This comment has been rewritten so that its' content is removed. On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit. This hurts many types of users, and the way that the CEO has handled the situation is not right at all. Reddit is another victim of pure corporate greed.
Some may not consider this important to them, but for anyone who sees this, I strongly encourage you to join the fediverse. It will be confusing at first, but it is very welcoming :)
Alternative platforms:
I feel like it's too wordy (I tend to ramble). I'm trying to find compact "elegantly worded" reasons about what's going on and why it's wrong, with links of good posts, but a lot of that is on reddit. Can you guys help a bro out?
This is exactly what I did. I saved a copy of all my content (well PDS nuked some of it and didn't save it properly, but I got what's left).
I used automated tools but I left a message on how to reach out to me at my new hangout on each one. I think it shouldn't be too hard to find the answer from there - and if it is, well hey, I'm open to answering a question or a few.
My content will be made available again, just not on reddit. reddit won't get to profit from ads using my content. Folks on reddit will have to come here (or find me elsewhere) to get that info - so i'll slowly redirect em from reddit to places like the fediverse.
How did you do this?
