  • What did you use? I was thinking about doing the same.

    A python script, you need the praw library. The clients id’s are given in your profile after you create an app.

    import praw
    
    reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='yourid',
    	client_secret='yoursecret',
    	password='your password',
    	user_agent='deletes my comments',
    	username='your username')
    
    redditor = reddit.redditor("your username")
    
    for comment in redditor.comments.top(limit=10000):
    	comment.edit("deleted")
    #	comment.delete()
    

    You can edit and delete everything at once but I prefer to overwrite my comments first and let the old cache machines fill up with my new garbage before deleting.


  • Linux

    I swear that the last time I’ve ever shouted at a machine was when I was installing the latest release of Windows Server and I was unable to find the most basics elements on their graphic interface. It’s like I was a baby in a toypark. And they have the guts to call it a server. I’ve seen enough dark patterns in their install steps to make any sane person go mad. Windows is leaking bad faith though all his interface. You know what I want to do and you purposefully stop me from doing it. You are not an ally and not even a tool.

    I tried Macosx years ago too, but from now on I will only use any reasonable brand of linux.



  • As I click your history I see that you have pages and pages of allegations about the tiananmen events.

    I’m not surprised, what I’m surprised about is to find people like you in the main instance of lemmy. I thought that they were contained into the lemmygrad sub but I was wrong, you somehow made your way to the mainstream meeting point.

    I have no intention of discussing with the chinese Fox News.

    AI will come up with technological solutions to societal problems so effective and straightforward that it will raise the floor for everybody.

    • “Please scientists, tell us what to do to overcome global warming”
    • “You need to reduce your consumption, there is no other way”
    • “Wait, what? What do you mean?”
    • “We mean that you need to purchase less stuff”
    • “No, there must be an error, are they crazy? We need a real solution! Let’s ask the AI instead”

    • “Oh, AI, please tell us how we can overcome the challenge of global warming!”
    • computingYou need to reduce your consumption
    • “Nonono… wait a sec… opens the box… Look, it’s these damned scientists again!”







  • And because they’re federated, lemmygrad users can comment on anything on lemmy.ml, so that’s where you will see viewpoints come in that you may not agree with in news/politics/economics related threads.

    Oh boy, I didn’t think about that. I never thought that lemmy.ml would federate with a cesspool like grad. So yeah, this explains that. That’s why I’m seeing so many shills.

    We have enough numbers to build a “de facto” second main instance which would be completely split from grad, should we focus on one instance? What if we tried to start an instance from scratch?


  • Your instance is really just a point of entry. In the end people will probably follow the communities which are the largest and in their language, regardless of the instances hosting it. And your instance is probably the one hosting the largest communities anyway.

    edit: oops, my bad, lemmy.ml had federated with lemmygrad, which is filled with russian shills, so yeah, we have to think about it, and maybe pick a different instance or start a brand new one. I don’t want to spend more time explaining why Ukraine doesn’t belong to Russia. Let them lose the war and figure it out by themselves.

    You should not focus too much on the political aspect. So far there are a lot of russians around, but we will outnumber them, so it’s not a priority.


  • Seriously, I’m not from the USA and I’m not supposed to know the names of American senators, MP’s, governors or lawyers, or of who shot who, or who had a panic attack in an airplane, or why people are shouting at each others at a mcdonalds drive-in. Does any american ex-redditor know the name of a single european politician besides Merkel?

    The news cycle proposed by reddit is filled with american politics ad nauseam and by ragebait. The european subs of reddit are filled with russian shills. When you add up all of this there is no point into opening reddit for the news.
