I've done the "switch, switch, switch, delete" at least twice a year for most of the twelve years I was there. The idea was to pollute the data, not delete it. Even if you started during the API bullshit, you still would have had plenty of time to corrupt your data enough. Remember, the idea is to make it so that it is difficult to tell what is a legitimate comment and what are excerpts from random text.

As I mentioned before, I use scripts to replace my comments with random excerpts from text in the public domain. I do this multiple times before finally deleting them. The result is that it becomes very difficult for the AI or anyone to figure out what is a legitimate comment and what is a line from Lady Chatterley's Lover or a scientific paper of the ecological impact from the Japanese whaling industry. It's easier to just filter out my username from their data sets.

I kind of understand Reddit, but why do people hang in there with Twatter when there are currently three grown ass alternatives?

I use a few dozen novels in a single text file and randomize which lines the script pulls. It then replaces the text three times with a random pull. What you end up with are four responses in plain English. Which is the real one? You could filter out responses edited after "the great exodus", but I have been doing this to my comments a few times per year during my twelve years on reddit.

The truth is that even if I don't get them all, I get enough that it makes it far easier for the group that bought the data to just filter my username out rather than figure out what's junk and what isn't.

Yeah, that's the idea. Originally I went the "random characters then delete" route but realized that if I used randomized book excerpts from the public domain, the AI, or even a human, would have a very hard time figuring out what was real and what was trash. Ultimately, even if I can't modify them all, I can modify enough to make it easier for the buyer to just filter my username out in order to keep the results clean.

I did it and it is still nuked. It did take a number of runs though.

Remember kids, don't delete your account. Use scripts to replace all of your posts and comments with nonesense. If there is an option in your script to feed itba "dictionary", I highly suggest using books from the public domain like "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by D. H. Lawrence. Replace all images and video links with Steam Boat Willie.

What a dipshit.

Our default is Dice, Indeed, Facebook. Twatter, Mastodon, and our website. We're too small and specialized for the website to work. If you know about us, chances are you know one of our people at which point it's an "in network" referral.

EDIT: To be fair, nothing but the job boards and referrals work. Facebook, Twatter, LinkedIn, etc, are a waste of time and money.

I am on the other end of this. As an employer, job boards are now essentially useless. Worst of all, we pay per profile engaged. In order for us to verify that the profile is even tangentially a match, we have to engage, but the new algorithms are only providing poor matches. It used to be that we would pay per posting and we could engage with every profile that responded AND every profile that matched our keywords, at no extra costs (this shit costs over $10k per year).

The market is ripe for a competitor that offers services equivalent to what we had nearly twenty years ago.

I doubt Larian will return to D&D for the next game.

You got downvoted, but that's literally who's catch phrase it is. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
