Used a script to overwrite old comments to finalize my switch to Lemmy, and got this message from one of the subreddit that i commented.
Yes my intention is to annoy and create awareness. After i delete my account, Reddit is not going to get to keep my pearls of wisdom, or shenanigans. I hope more people edit their old comments to something like [moved to Lemmy].
That’s a canned response. I would regularly overwrite and delete my comments but some subs take offense to it for whatever reason. They either don’t get the point or they are trying to gaslight you with “it doesn’t matter anyway” bullshit
I’d be curious as to who the mod team is. That automod is very defensive and seems to be written from a pro spez point of view.
But I’m not going back to Reddit to check.
/r/History is filled with a bunch of Admin bootlickers anyway, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they haven’t seen too much forced mod turnover post-blackout.
