I saw a lot of people saying they used bots to rewrite their entire post history to things like “fuck /u/spez”
I’m thinking that amount of comment editing might be quite the spike on the servers.
I did that, but not “fuck u/spez” because that might get the comment deleted altogether making the edit meaningless. Instead I edited to say the comments been deleted in protest against the API changes.
If enough of us do it, entire comment chains will be illegible lol
I fully committed. My 10+ year account is now deleted.
I didn’t delete my account but I did use redact to change the titles and comment to reflect I left because of the api changes.
Blew up my 11 year account. Lemmy got memes and the porn showed up as expected. No reason to go back.
H-How does one find the porn…
That was honestly hilarious, they deserve those problems and more.
I suppose the protest may have played a role in the site going down but I thought the outage was mostly due to the cloudflare issues from earlier in the day.
