Im working up the courage to. Ill never go back, but it is also hard to delete that much history just for a statement
Just did it. removed everything with the PowerDelete script, then deleted my 12 year old account. Sad. I deleted all comments, too. Like many people here I find it sad, that this information is gone, but I do not want to give reddit traffic for my personal content.
I don’t really want to delete content potential googlers could stumble upon and be helped by, but I’ve replaced the Relay shortcut on my homescreen with a Jerboa shortcut. That’s as good as deleted cause that’s all I access reddit through.
I value my content and the communities too much (despite its problems). I won’t be deleting my account, and definitely not the content I posted.
I don’t know yet what will happen to my usage and contribution level. Maybe it will only be on desktop PC from now on. We will see.
I think I’m going to on my next day off. During the blackout. See ya never spez!
Jup. Deleted all my posts, guides and comments yesterday.
I think it’s somewhat dramatic for the “future” since so much of reddit is absolutley great knowledge. I can’t count how many times a reddit post or comment has helped me solve all kinds of weird problems…
I’m in the EU so I did a GDPR data request before deleting and essentially have a backup of all my own content. I’ll filter through it and put on Lemmy or my blog what I think is worth keeping.
