I just ran Power Delete Suite on all of my comments and self posts, stating they have been removed in protest.

On July 1st, I am deleting every comment and post, then closing my account. Reddit was fun while it lasted.

The fediverse is still raw, but I see massive protentional here, and I am ready for this journey with all of you.

    I wouldn’t delete your account (in case Reddit tries to replace the deleted comments as they have been doing). But I would unsubscribe from every subreddit.

    Additionally, if you have any very useful comments/posts, repost them to Lemmy and then edit them to leave some information that will redirect users to your posts in Lemmy. That way good information isn’t lost and you’ll help to slowly drive users towards Lemmy over time.

    This is oddly exciting, like being a child again. I hope it grows into something great. Hello from kbin!

    You might want to hold off on the deletion part… After the comments about “reddit is restoring posts”, I logged back in and saw my entire history had been restored after 24 hours. That includes messages I deleted years ago.

    So, went through and re-ran power delete suite again. Next day, there were a few back.

    Going the lather-rinse-repeat route with wiping them. I figure if they want to burn CPU cycles recovering my stuff, I can burn their CPU cycles deleting it again. At some point I’ll see about sending them a support request to remove all of my data if it keeps occurring.

    It’s crazy isn’t it? Six months in and Mastodon still hasn’t clicked for me, but six days here and I know I’m not going back to Reddit.

    I had two accounts, one 8 years old and one 4 years old, with a combined karma of about 120k. Deleted them both earlier.

    Just found out it was my cake day today, was planning on deleting everything on the 30th but it would be funny if i did it on the 6th year of my account

    I’ve already started moving over to lemmy but I’m also seeing some weird stuff on my Reddit account. I’ve had more ‘Followers’ sign on to my account in the last 2 weeks than I’ve seen in the last 3-4 years. I don’t believe these are real followers. What would be the reason for this? Is Reddit playing some sort of statistics game with long-time Reddit accounts?

    Good stuff. I deleted my account from 2011 the other day. This shit is stupid. Honestly already like kbin better anyway from a purely aesthetic perspective.

    Reddit was fun while it lasted.

    This is basically my attitude as well.
