I haven't yet deleted my Reddit account, but I will. I'm pissed that Reddit is doing what its doing. I'm kind of waiting for Lemmy to grow in popularity so that there's more available than delete my Reddit account completely. In the meantime, how can I fuck with Reddit and help people on Reddit move to Lemmy?

What can I do in the meantime while on Reddit in protest as an average user of Reddit?'

I don't mind doing something undercover so long as its not too illegal.

My go-to approach would be to use Power Delete Suite or any similar tool to replace your content with gibberish (gsfdjkhfdsk style), and leave it online. It hurts Reddit far more than simply deleting your content.

Then simply use Lemmy (or Kbin, your choice) instead of Reddit, as you're doing now. You're denying it content, and giving content to competitors. Bonus points if you bring common topics into the new platform, we could use some discussions about random stuff that is neither Lemmy-related nor Reddit-related.
