I’m a bit late to the party but I didn’t delete my account. I edited everything with a message like « deleted because of Reddit API policy, see you on the fediverse »
I think I will leave it like that because that way when a Google search or anything point to one of my post/comment, peoples will see the message instead of just « deleted ».
It’s about the message :)
Same here. Ran a script to edit all my comments explaining why they’re edited and that I refuse to let reddit benefit from my input anymore.
This is only the beginning of Lemmy and it already has everything I got from Reddit.
We gave the admins and spez a chance to go back on the API changes with the protest but they arrogantly ignored the users views.
The only thing that will get CEOs like this to listen to their user base is a mass exodus. If several million people closed their account they would actually listen in the first place.
Power to the people.
If you’re so compelled to, but do consider any helpful posts your account might have.
Reddit might be a sinking ship, but in this age of the Internet it still one of the most reliable ways to Google a solution to your problems.
Before you do, if you made any useful posts be sure to copy and paste them onto lemmy so they will not get deleted from the internet.
Don’t let them use your own data to train ad algos
i have already deleted everything, they can restore it?
IIRC they can restore deletions easily but not edits, if you edited the comments and then deleted reddit will only, AFAIK, restore the comments to the edited version, however you can request the right to be forgotten if GDPR applies to you.
