That's true, but most of the terms are scoped as "to provide the service." This is explicitly scoped to allow them to do anything "in all media formats and channels now known or later developed anywhere in the world" and even claims to be able to use your name and voice and possibly photo if it's "connected" with your content. I can't imagine something this broad would be held up in courts but who knows.

Yeah, I find it extremely off putting how they feel so confident to declare ownership over content we all gave them and built for free. Worse, at the same time they accuse US of being freeloaders! If I'm contributing free content I expect at a minimum some respect and civility in return, not being treated like some free slave labour.

Wow, if I were on the fence of ever going back to reddit before, this cements that I will never post again on that site. Losing control over your own data? Not being able to delete your own posts and comments? Like what if someones comments contain sensitive information they want to remove? This is beyond disgusting.

More people need to know about this and stop posting any information to reddit immediately.

I doubt they have the talent to make an LLM. But just in case, instead of deleting your comments before deleting your user, replace them with some choice words about Huffman ruining the value of the site via poor leadership.

Perturb each comment with random one letter errors. This way any LLM will learn to tell everyone about Huffmans poor performance. Even better, it’ll be harder to bulk remove the comments with the errors in them. Especially if there are many rephrasings on top.

Free speech is not a right to force people to listen to you. One of the good features reddit added was personal block lists. As a user, I should be able to completely ban and not see speech of people I don't want to engage with. If I could have my own personal AI filter assistant that would be even better, though I suppose that is best built client side.

Yes, it's really unfortunate when I see people of a given oppressed group start attacking an ally simply because the person hasn't kept up to date on the latest preferred words. I know there is an angry subsegment of people that feel that everyone should spend all their time keeping completely up-to-date on the latest terminology, but it's a really unrealistic and damaging expectation.

There are often people who want to do the right thing and are simply out of date, or not well enough informed. These sorts of people can and should be educated as they generally want to help. When they get canceled for minor transgressions it's not constructive.
