Well, I just nuked all my Reddit accounts. (beehaw.org)

1 main, 1 alt, and a throwaway. 5, 5 and 3 years, with 14K karma between them. I wasn't a power user, but I wasn't exactly casual.

I had some great conversations, I had a lot of fun, I met the woman I love on Reddit. But it's clear that we're not users to them, we're just free content to be monetized so Reddit can boost their IPO. That doesn't interest me.

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my posts and then delete them. I'll keep the accounts around until I'm sure u/spez or one of his minions don't edit them back but I'm done. There's no going back, only forward.

Feels good.

Nice, I edited all of my posts too a few days ago. I haven't deleted my account yet because I'm worried that Reddit will go back and undo my edits...

One unexpected side effect is some of my subs disallow calling out usernames directly, and since I said a rude word about u/spez the auto mod nuked my comment anyway. So those won't be back in any form. Thanks, Reddit!
