What did you guys replace your reddit comments with? (lemmy.world)

I'm considering rewriting all of my comments, but I want to do this carefully and correctly because I'd eventually want to delete the account, so I wouldn't be able to make changes

I want to keep it short and sweet, but be informative, make very good points, and hopefully persuade any user to try out the fediverse

What did you guys change yours to? I'm thinking something along the lines of this:

This comment has been rewritten so that its' content is removed. On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit. This hurts many types of users, and the way that the CEO has handled the situation is not right at all. Reddit is another victim of pure corporate greed.

Some may not consider this important to them, but for anyone who sees this, I strongly encourage you to join the fediverse. It will be confusing at first, but it is very welcoming :) Alternative platforms:

I feel like it's too wordy (I tend to ramble). I'm trying to find compact "elegantly worded" reasons about what's going on and why it's wrong, with links of good posts, but a lot of that is on reddit. Can you guys help a bro out?

Also a good point. Maybe archive previous reddit content in multiple places, like the internet archive as well as on the fediverse. Interesting thought..

Using archive.org is something I've done a lot for Reddit links through out the years, since I'd come across deleted comments and usually someone would capture the page with archive.org.

I've used archive.org to take snap shots useful information of reddit myself, since I knew information could just disappear. Now some searchable database of archived pages would be great instead of needing specific links.

That's a really good point. These kinds of archives aren't so easily searchable perhaps. That's why I favour manually copying content over into the fediverse. Adding the links to the fediverse (or wherever the new home is) from the old reddit commits has the benefit of making it more discoverable while hopefully keeping ad views for them down.
