Deleted my 7 years old Reddit Account today

What the title says.

A certain Mr. Huffman is making Reddit, which was once the frontpage of the internet (it still is, albeit for different reasons) a living hell for us.

Being in the coding/development trade as my profession, I am a huge advocate of anything FOSS, so when I found Lemmy, I did not look back.

Thanks to PowerDeleteSuite, I got rid of all my contents from Reddit. I did hear reasonings like "leave them there, for the benefits of lurkers" - but nope. I do not trust the sorting algorithm of Reddit anymore, I do not believe people will get to see my content if needed. So yep, blow 'em up.

I kept a close eye for a while on whether my posts and comments get resurrected (yes I did read about people experiencing this) - but I guess PDS did a good job for me.

So there you go, Snoo - you are cute - but creepy Stevie is fucking with your cuteness, and fucking with all of us.

I only keep mine around to get the old interface when I get a search hit from Reddit. Once they get rid of that I’ll probably delete mine.

Fwiw, you can just replace 'www' in the URL with 'old' and it will use the old ui.
