Reddit can't run without its moderators and it can't monetize without data. I encourage everyone who's defected to Lemmy from Reddit to wipe their old Reddit account using Redact. I just wiped my old account of 15 years worth of comments and post history.
I wiped my 10 year old account last night. Everything except my last post telling spez to fuck off and that he and his board have no soul or humanity.
It was hard seeing it all go, but if life has taught me anything, it's that all things are impermanent and we should always be prepared to let go.
Ignore, duplicate 😣
As much as I would like to do this I have too many posts there have legitimately helped people who were struggling with things.
I've had people respond to months old posts thanking me on several occasions for helping them. I can't in good conscience remove thay just to spite reddit, and I do a lot of stuff out of spite.
I'm waiting for a couple of days until I'm sure my deleted comments stay deleted. After that, I'll wipe my 6 years old account.
There was a YouTube vid posted a few days ago showing that posts are being reinstated after deletion.
