Same, but I was snapped out of existence for “violating the rules”. For talking about shooting paper targets at a gun range. apparently that is threatening violence.
Nixed my account. Not missing it.
I had like 10 Reddit Accounts over the past years
Right? Same here. I don’t understand how people cherish their Reddit accounts so much.
Most deletion tools only view the profile pages, they have a 1k non refreshing cap. So only 1k newest, 1k top etc. . So otherwise delete account just makes the rest against a [deleted] user the posts are all still there.
F in the chat
Nice username lol
whenever I delete old accounts I always make a gdpr request on all my data, does anyone else do that?
I do.
That’s what I did before I overwrote and deleted my reddit comments. Left the account active just so I can make sure it stays that way
Until spez brings them back…
I refuse to delete my writing account I started 12 years ago in case someone tries to steal my content again.
I want to leave all my posts that call out hate but deleting everything else.
We are all ripped bozos on this blessed day.
I got perma banned off of reddit for commenting on a sub that I had been banned from, and instead of them just not letting my comment post - they instead basically ban you for posting again.
So if you get banned of a sub on reddit and forget because…who cares… You get yourself perma’d for ban evasion.
I got banned from like a news sub for saying “surprise not everyone shares your political opinion, of course there’s dissent”.
That’s when reddit for me went absolutely to shit. Just getting blacklisted by mods who are reading into everything.
Yep. Bunch of echo chambers honestly. Mods will ban you literally for questioning the modding standards of certain communities. Which means only people who agree are allowed in; there’s no way to change the rules. Power hungry fucks.
I didn’t delete my account or any of my posts when I left Reddit. Felt too much like punishing Reddit users and searchers of random information and not enough like punishing Spez.
I dunno. Aside from “fuck Spez” (which, don’t get me wrong, I can’t say is entirely unappealing), what’s the argument to be made for deleting your post history via something like PowerDeleteSuite rather than just leaving and never visiting Reddit again?
I debated whether or not I should wipe my post/comment history, but ultimately I decided that I just didn’t want reddit to have anything I created, no matter how worthless it is.
The argument I’ve heard is that reddit will be monetizing its user generated data by allowing AI programs to access it.
Yeah, that seems a little compelling, except that they’ve demonstrated that they keep deleted post content. If they’d be sleazy enough to train AIs on our not-deleted content, they’d probably be sleazy enough to train AIs on our deleted posts as well.
It’s not that important. People are putting far too much value into a forum account.
Partly to reduce Reddit’s reputation as the place to find answers for obscure problems, and partly to encourage neutral users to search for alternatives.
I think that deleters will not make a mind breaking difference, but the idea is to remove and rebuild that information other places.
With that said, if any of you had posted some obscure but wildly useful information on Reddit, please consider making a post in the relevant Lemmy community (or stack overflow, or wherever) with the solution.
I was on Reddit every day for 14+ years. July 1st I came to Lemmy and never looked back.
Same. Longest I’d gone without commenting on reddit for a decade straight is 3 days. Now the longest is…since July 1st and counting.
I said I would leave my just-turned 15-year-old account after June 30th, received a lot of fomo jibe, and have only been back when I’ve needed to update the social links of my profile with new Fediverse replacement accounts.
Good riddance.
I miss the toxicity. I miss the inside jokes… I miss shitty watercolours. I miss the gore. I miss the profound comments. I miss the extremely detailed and informative answers to the most rudiment question.
Here is just: capitalism bad / Landlords suck / Linux / Chromium sux / Atheism
Don’t get me wrong, I love these topics, but it’s just that…
I found another website where I make my daily blog, but now I’m wasting even more time online…

You’re in a meme community that’s hosted on an instance started by Marxist-leninists. Of course you’re going to see a lot of that. Have you tried to search for communities on other instances? I’m on Kbin, and this is one of many fediverse-wide communities I’m subscribed to from there. I don’t get the constant politics and circlejerking on some other instances.
Oh, that explains a lot!
…when does the narwal bacon… They were the good times. Oh well.
you… miss the toxicity…
made it all the way into r/ascension or whatever the 1 million karma club is called, only to find it was as vapid as the rest of Reddit.
5 yrs? Those are rookie numbers. I “deleted” mine of 10+ years. Guess who gave a fuck? Only me. Here I am on lemmy rebuilding the dream. Plz upvvote and subscribe. Plz. K thx ♥️
9 years for me. I wiped my comment and post history, but didn’t delete it because all that does it take away any control you have if they decide to restore it.

…uck Spez
Both sources, please.
