Most of my internet career has been trolling/shitposting. It started with yahoo answers. My contribution to reddit are years worth of posts that are like 80% true but with absolute bullshit slipped in here and there. Most humans who have been on the internet understood that. But now that’s all been fed into most LLM training data and it will never be plucked out. I’ve been poisoning AI for 20 years.
I sincerely doubt that’s her. Apparently she still posts on reddit (that I’ve heard; haven’t been back to that cesspool in over two years) and this person’s comment history contains nary a single poem.
You’re right. Poem probably wasn’t even the main account that interacted with people the way this one does. It was probably an alt only for poems. Oh well, would have been cute to see one of the old community characters again in a new place
You doing vandalism to punish someone due to a decision you didn’t like is most definitely your fault. You may claim to be justified, still. But you are not innocent for it.
Destroying a public Ressource/Wiki you contributed to. For example if you contribute to Wikipedia in the past and disagree with their firmly held belief that climate change is a scientific fact and then try to remove the lines you contributed you would very clearly be in the wrong.
Reddit, unfortunately, does not. I am not suggesting that Reddit’s bad intentions necessarily make removing one’s past contributions a good thing or a necessity – but I do understand why folks might do it.
Vandalism does still feel like the wrong label though. With Reddit you are the sole creator and controller of your comments and their contents (except mod/admin actions, of course) at all times. And even though those comments are part of a larger structured collection of comments, it still isn’t like a Wikipedia edit or a contribution to the Linux kernel, where a multitude of other individuals have to approve the change and can edit the exact same spot in the future.
You are definitely taking stuff away from your fellow man, and it may be a net negative for humanity, but it is still at least YOUR stuff that you are sabotaging. Usually messing up your own stuff isn’t called vandalism. I think that’s why we jumped on that word.
When you try to sabotage a wikipedia page or some FOSS project, that is OUR stuff that you’re sabotaging, even if you created that part originally.
That was probably too much text to try to describe the manner in which I am splitting this hair, lol.
Ngl coulda been my fault. Once they said fuck u to 3rd party APIs, I nuked all my comments and bailed.
I did the same, but I got out in front of it by never saying anything useful in the first place.

Thankyou for your service to Eris.
I like food
Wait are you THAT poem_for_your_sprog?

Very much your fault.

Vandalism?
Destroying a public Ressource/Wiki you contributed to. For example if you contribute to Wikipedia in the past and disagree with their firmly held belief that climate change is a scientific fact and then try to remove the lines you contributed you would very clearly be in the wrong.
You’re using a non-profit knowledge sharing organization as an example in a discussion about Reddit, which is quite the opposite.
I don’t believe they wrote their post to further reddits valuation, but to help their fellow man.
I definitely agree with you there.

That was the right thing to do.
Not “could have”. I have seen tons of these comments when searching for information.
Thanks.
