The funniest part of the article is how he's slamming the actions of unpaid moderators while saying "they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free".

Today I made the jump and deleted my last account. I used Reddit one way or another for the last 16 years. It feels weird, but at the same time, I simply couldn't support the platform anymore. Being honest, it hasn't been like the platform I once loved using for a long time. Bots run rampant, the same two to three memes get regurgitated over and over and Spez has just been the idiot to break the camel's back.

    Unless you purged your content before deleting you didn't really do much.

    Since they are restoring deleted comments purging your content isn't doing much more. What a scum bag company. Lol

    I think I will wait a bit to try and delete mine. Hopefully they get tired of cat and mouse delete game.

    Same. I just deleted all my content, but not the account itself since they appear to be rolling back comment deletions. I'll delete my content as many times as I need to before I delete my account fully.

    Welcome here! I also deleted all my accounts. First felt weird, but now I found Lemmy I don't look back. I don't want to support a business run by such a lunatic.
