Reddit

It’s crazy isn’t it? Six months in and Mastodon still hasn’t clicked for me, but six days here and I know I’m not going back to Reddit.

I wouldn't delete your account (in case Reddit tries to replace the deleted comments as they have been doing). But I would unsubscribe from every subreddit.

Additionally, if you have any very useful comments/posts, repost them to Lemmy and then edit them to leave some information that will redirect users to your posts in Lemmy. That way good information isn't lost and you'll help to slowly drive users towards Lemmy over time.

Thinking about doing the same to my acc with 250k+ karma.

You might want to hold off on the deletion part... After the comments about "reddit is restoring posts", I logged back in and saw my entire history had been restored after 24 hours. That includes messages I deleted years ago.

So, went through and re-ran power delete suite again. Next day, there were a few back.

Going the lather-rinse-repeat route with wiping them. I figure if they want to burn CPU cycles recovering my stuff, I can burn their CPU cycles deleting it again. At some point I'll see about sending them a support request to remove all of my data if it keeps occurring.

this makes my little archivist heart sad tbh. fuck spez.

I've already started moving over to lemmy but I'm also seeing some weird stuff on my Reddit account. I've had more 'Followers' sign on to my account in the last 2 weeks than I've seen in the last 3-4 years. I don't believe these are real followers. What would be the reason for this? Is Reddit playing some sort of statistics game with long-time Reddit accounts?

The mass exodus of Twitter and Reddit is like the burning of Alexandria, digital.

How many tutorials or sourced synopsis of events or other long form written media created by volunteers was lost to all of this? Its insanity.

This is oddly exciting, like being a child again. I hope it grows into something great. Hello from kbin!

I probably wouldn‘t remove the account itself
Otherwise you can‘t remove them again when they get restored by the admins

10 years and 180,000 karma. I nuked all of my comments and all but a couple of my posts.

However, I have seen that some of my comments are still there on posts despite not showing up in my comment history.

Just found out it was my cake day today, was planning on deleting everything on the 30th but it would be funny if i did it on the 6th year of my account

Unsubscribed from everthing last night, went to check today and i have 2 subs.

funny stuff

I feel the fresh air of a new internet breeding <3

Fyi accounts like yours can fetch above $200 on some sites. Sure they'll be used to advertise and spam but is that really your problem now?

Cool, I got rid of all 14 of mine.

Same, 15+ years, although I don't yet have a plan to delete my account. There may arise a need to leverage it in some other protestful way.

I've already ran it, it went very smooth for a similarly aged account. 12 years with >100,000 comment karma and probably 8,000ish comments.

I had two accounts, one 8 years old and one 4 years old, with a combined karma of about 120k. Deleted them both earlier. Nothing of value was lost; the only "conversation" you can find on Reddit is salty arguments anyway.

Not quite as big but I nuked 8 years and 25k. I'm doing my part!

I have over 13k. My bot is keeping my comment list at 15 max and I'm not posting content. Been trying out kbin instead.
I'm hanging around until the end of June, but once Apollo is dark, I'm gone.

me:

• 14y+ account,
• 14k comment karma,
• 0 comments,
• 0 posts

not deleting my account, because i want to verify that my account stays empty.

Good stuff. I deleted my account from 2011 the other day. This shit is stupid. Honestly already like kbin better anyway from a purely aesthetic perspective.

Reddit was fun while it lasted.

This is basically my attitude as well.

I did the same, but it looks like a lot of my comments and posts are coming back.
