I've also been using PowerDeleteSuite[0] to delete all submissions and comments, as deleting your account will not delete posts, just change the user to [deleted].
I get that you want to protest but I don’t like the idea of destroying information permanently that might not be available elsewhere, it’s really frustrating when you find a comment that seemed to give you the solution to the problem exact problem you have but it got deleted. Is there a less destructive way to do this?
I just deleted my account of 9+ years with a good number of comments.
The reason is simple: I don't know of any other way for me as a user to actually do anything against Reddit, aside from not using it. But I hate the idea of a company doing a successful rug-pull while profiting off my thoughts and ideas. Sure, it's a bummer that the info is lost - but I feel that every small bit of success they have now will increase the likelihood of something like this happening again in the future.
I'm a relatively new r/ user and I can't understand your, and many previous, comments that call reddit some variation of 'shit', and 'toxic'.
I am thoroughly impressed. I have my interests, and have found so much information - far more than Google, and even ddg - it's now my goto search engine, along with algolia, and I kick myself everyday I wasn't on r/ several/ many years ago.
Where's the shit and the toxicity?
Exactly. Reddit has always been a shit hole and it just shows that Reddit always was able to pull the rug under its own users. A 1 day protest is nothing but hilarious as if that would do anything to Reddit.
The right action at this point is to delete your accounts.
