Just Permanently Deleted my Reddit Account--I Urge You ALL to do the Same! ( conspiracy )

submitted by xanaxinator

Fuck Conde Nast. Fuck Reddit. Fuck censorship. Fuck clueless mods. Fuck shadowbanning. Fuck being berated for telling the truth. Fuck that entire place now that Aaron Swartz is gone.

When they ask you why you are deleting BE SURE to tell them that you are leaving thanks to censorship--and, of course, that Reddit is now nothing but a JIDF-infested hasbara distribution outlet.

You can always visit. Fuck them, and fuck monetizing them.

RecaptchaSucks

Because you and all your alt accounts have been banned, you stupid piece of trash

RecaptchaSucks

Hey look guys, the cancer has already spread to voat!

RecaptchaSucks

justifiable reason

Jesus christ, you're stupid as fuck.

Hello VOAT! This is my first post, Over the last 3 years I have been trying to find a good alternative to "R" and have always been unimpressed. Hopefully VOAT is the one.

That being said.

No censorship?

So we can talk about the SLC Day care here? Or is that already old news?

xanaxinator

We HAVE been talking about the whole SLC thing...see the comments.

Glad to have you here! I'm very happy to have you--an exodus from "ReddactIt" is precisely what my wet dreams are all about! ; ')

joseph177

You have any proof of this?

I'll jump ship for good when reddit closes down kotakuincation. Until then it's still useful as a recruitment tool.

xanaxinator

Good for you!

Seriously, I feel SO much better already. Fewer shills, no censorship, cool programmers who actually TALK to you and improve the software without you asking...I sure hope that this company, someday, goes public.

Enchant

Amen. I'm just glad I found this place today. Peace out reddit, I never really had feelings for you. Not trying to be mean but, I just thought you should know that so that you know there's no possibility of us getting back together. I just don't want to hurt you again, you know?

xanaxinator

He was indeed. I apologized. I was not wearing my glasses and I did not see that the comment was not intended for me. TOTALLY my bad...although my analysis software seems to have that dude pegged. There's a 14% chance of it being incorrect though...and that's enough for me to doubt it.

Edit: I have deleted my comment and offer my sincere apologies to /u/duckvimes .

RecaptchaSucks

duckvimes is the cancer of reddit, he should be IP banned immediately

xanaxinator

Could not agree with you more--he truly sucks--a troll in his mom's basement using the phone line for his crappy v.90 modem.

Still, wouldn't banning him be against the "spirit" of the new /v/conspiracy ? I'm not sure that's the solution.

Just downvoat him into oblivion.

it does nothing....reddit has 100's of subarchive host pages....google you handle name sometime without omissions....you see, everything you ever said is archived....if it was really good, sometimes it will end up as qoutes on other webcrawlers.... you make it sound like some weak attempt at covering your tracks will make you dissappear....it does not work that way....you do understand silverlight...?

xanaxinator

You know what? Everything that I posted was true--although most was opinion, it was MY opinion. I regret nothing that I said, and none of it can be tracked (easily) to me. Even if it were I broke no US laws.

I guess that I'm saying that I'm not all that worried. But still, thanks for the information.

000cccpcharm

I'm not saying that you should have regrets, I'm just simply pointing out the fact that nothing that is done on the web is really "erased" and that most all "major" sites are in essence permanent "records" .and that "we" the people have very little or no control over content, even if it's our content...Besides, if you have a comupter with webcam and or an Iphone, they are collecting EVERYTHING you say and do within the range of said devices...Meaning they might not give a crap about you or what you think or do, but they are still recording ALL metadata, it just gets recorded and dumped.in your file....for example....if you are running a pc, you have what is called "silverlight" onboard.....basically go to your start button, type in "silverlight" and up will come a box that gives you options and shows those options, one is "webcam and mic"....YOU CAN NOT DISABLE THIS PROGRAM, YOU CAN DUMP IT, BUT ITS STILL THERE...`IT IS HARD WIRED INTO YOUR SYSTEM, AND mac HAS THEIR OWN VERSION...basically this is the 24/7 bug that watches you in your home...sure you can tape over the cam, but it's still recording all "noise" ....this program can be run with your computer in sleep/lid shut mode...whats really amazing is how sensitive both the mic and cam are...you can tape over the cam, but still see shape outlines, and the mic pics up small details....nsa punks use it to watch you masturbate

xanaxinator

Trust me, I know, I know.

I am a network engineer (for a living--not to confuse...I'm a pilot also but that's totally a "free time" thing) so what you are saying rings very true.

I know all about Silverlight; this is why I use Linux (usually). Mostly every Reddit post that I have ever made has been from a non-Silverlight Ubuntu machine.

Let me tell you what I DID do with my Windows machine though...the webcam/mic is on a "daughtercard" in the lid. There is a ribbon cable that goes from this daughtercard to the motherboard. AS SOON AS I buy a new laptop it is disassembled and the ribbon cable is removed. Not unplugged, but removed.

Remember that FLASH does this also; not just Silverlight. I don't think that it's as bad as you say (yet) and here's why. I analyze EVERY packet that arrives at, and leaves, my house. I have a Linux machine that specifically does this (a packet sniffer basically--with detection/alerting algorithms). On my Windows machine (which DOES have Silverlight, btw), so far, there have been no system calls to the camera/mic, and no downstream data showing that video/audio is being transmitted. YET.

Then again, if they're being clever about it I suppose that this information could easily be disguised as TCP resends or packet headers.

My advice to you--run Linux! Ubuntu specifically. I can and will help you get it going...and then you have FULL control over your PC. There are WAAAY too many programmers with their fingers in the code for "them" to ever slip something like a "Silverlight" look-alike by. Trust me.

Thanks for the warning though...always good to know what the latest shit that they're up to is!

000cccpcharm

lets not be naive, you can never delete your reddit account permanently....hell just google your handle name, everything you ever said....right there for all to see...forever....so you can stop using it, but its not really gone

CeciNestPasUnComplot

I just did as you said. My God, that gives me the willies. :(

000cccpcharm

It gives Willy's the Sammy's

Enchant

That's pretty fucked up

PrivateJoker

None of that is true, but continue repeating it a year later lol

xanaxinator

I was under the impression that a COMPLETE account removal did this...and now I cannot log in to do it!

Suggestions?

PrivateJoker

Probably too late now. There's a tampermonkeycode though that will go into your account and write over each of your posts and then delete each post. That way there's nothing left in your account with personal info. THEN you can safely delete your account.

Atko

As far as I know, all of your data remains stored on reddit servers even after you've deleted your account.

On a similar note, the reason I started developing Voat was the fact that I was unable to automatically delete all of my reddit comments and posts. I had to run a browser script which sort of clicked for me and went through my account history for an hour or so - to delete everything. To me that was just wrong and I felt that something had to be done about it.

xanaxinator

You are indeed correct.

Hey Atko, how do I delete stuff in my Inbox? I see "Context" and "Reply" but not "Delete."

BTW, even though "Comment Replies" says "0" you are indeed correct--I press that button and the comments re-appear. Great show friend! I appreciate you helping out a Voat noob.

Atko

For the time being, it is not possible to delete comment and post replies from your inbox. /u/puttiout is working on this. I'll try to change the "0" to show something like "0/14" instead as a temporary solution. Happy to help :)

xanaxinator

That's a great idea.

I would also think about having a way to access your comments to comments...or put them under the original comments (that appear in your Inbox).

This would quickly get messy, though...especially in highly recursive comments.

000cccpcharm

I'll hang out here, but I'm pretty sure this is reddit 2.0 corral honeypot trap for those who know too much...lets be logical...the slc disscusion on the impact of anything is nothing. Its a "spooky" conspiracy that in the scheme of things means not a lot and it's a perfect catalyst to use as a topical false flag like gee "they're not letting us talk about space aliens probing my ass, so lets all go somewhere else free" and gee, suddely VOAT appears...and it Swiss! so it has to be neutral! lol...ya just like lops operated from the hauge, hahaa...

also I see instead of people such as myself being cautious and suspicious of this place, as any good critical thinkers should be, I see "reddit" like shades of grey start to pop up, I down voted for being critical of the geuine nature of this place, hmm, gangs all here, Lord Eglin rides again? lol

Enchant

But this started like a year ago. I kind of feel like you can always find a reason not to trust a website... what actual reason do you have not to trust this one? And how does that stack up against all the reasons not to trust reddit?

xanaxinator

I hope, so badly, that you are incorrect.

000cccpcharm

you're giving it much more "slack" than it should get...try precision crafted psychological military based nwo panlogical operation...

again we'll see if this place is the lop to glp...I find it highly unlikely that 855 people have access to this site and have seen my post and clicked the link....so far, not too impressed

PrivateJoker

They were nice enough to do that for me last year, complete with IP ban. For what, i still don't know aside from being outspoken against israel.....

Gamerdog6482

I probably would have already if I only used Reddit for news or political discussions. But as that isn't all I use Reddit for, I'll go down with the ship as long as I have Voat as a lifeboat just around the corner.

Besides, it's not like I'm giving them any money.

aleeum

I would say this if we had enough traffic. I think there are still benefits of using Oppressitte but we have to tread lightly.
