    I wish I’d deleted all my comments and posts before deleting my account.

    Don’t forget they’re also selling all your freely provided content to AI scrapers as well. Fuck Reddit.

        From what I can tell, it continues to exist, but you can no longer post. They’re not gonna just give up all that free data.

    When Reddit’s API debacle happened lots of people moved away. Some deleted their comments, some edited them with a message in protest. But sadly the consequences is that a lot of history and useful information got lost in the process.

    I don’t know how I feel about this. I understand why it’s done and even why it needs to be done, but it still makes me sad considering the amount of times where Reddit saved me from massive headaches with IT stuff and so on…

      As someone who deleted their posts… yes. The goal was to make Reddit worse, by removing my contributions to it because they forgot where their value came from.

      My content had some small value to them. They didn’t deserve it.
