To anyone still on Reddit and/or moderates a sub, I would recommend deleting all of your content. Reddit is going to continue making money off of whatever you post, even if it's helpful. If you're worried about preservation, submit your content through an archiver. Don't let them continue to make money off of you when you are not valued. Down with corporate overlords.

    There are reports of them already restoring deleted content, too. They have zero respect for their users' autonomy.

    Edit: Someone started a thread about it here

    No way. Can anyone else confirm of their old user data is back? This is a huge low by Reddit

    Not sure if it's what happened, but remember that content in private subreddits isn't on your profile and thus cannot be deleted.

    When it opens back up, your content will now appear on your profile. (Run it again as-needed)

    Some of the comments are on a sub that I know specifically did not go dark or private during the protest, so I don't think it is solely from that. I'm going to do it again with a different program, and I will continue to do it until someone leaves it alone. Right now the reddit admin are on alert, but eventually they'll stop paying attention.

    @fear @dope @generalEdo Are they even allowed to do that with the GDPR protecting EU citizens? :think:

    I deleted every post and comment before deleting my account entirely earlier today. You're right. The only way to stop Reddit from profiting off us is to not only leave, but burn our content down on the way out the door.

    I nuked all three of my accounts, each with thousands of comments. Fuck reddit.

    Double check, they restored my deleted comments and posts.

    just checked and yup, mine have also been restored - on an account I nuked about 6 months ago. I’ve deleted the account so I can’t even remove them again.

    Thank you reddit for forcing me off your platform and not having to deal with your shitty app anymore.
