“Reddit represents one of the largest data sets of just human beings talking about interesting things,” Huffman said. “We are not in the business of giving that away for free.”
He believes he owns our voice. I’m just beyond disgusted.
I’ve been active in linuxquestions helping people with their issues and documenting problems and workarounds to the benefit of anyone who comes across similar issues. A major gripe is searching for a problem, coming across someone else who had the same issue but no solution, because they solved it but never bothered to detail what they did. “Nevermind, I fixed it!”.
I gave that away for free.
It saddens me to read things like this. It doesn’t sit right.
That’s why I’m deleting my account and taking my thousands of posts with me. I will create a new account to lurk in a couple of subs I like until there’s enough traffic here or elsewhere. I’m almost tempted to go into some of the more active forums and start posting ChatGPT generated garbage that seems superficially meaningful or relevant to start fucking with their idea to train AIs on Reddit posts.
Not a bad idea. I would love to do that, but a lot of my posts are to promote myself as an artist so, my plan is to promote my fediverse presence with my art if I ever do post again

Thank you spez for solidifying my opinion that I never want to return to reddit.
