Then the next thing to so is mass delete your posts and comments and then the account. Scorched earth and all that jazz

I think at this point Reddit just wings all their decisions. They’re too deep into the embarrassment, they could never redeem themselves.

I'm hearing that deleting just hides the content. It's better to edit the comments to something else, preferably an invitation to Lemmy.

"deleting" only flags the comments as such in the database, but that still makes them unreadable. That means unreadable conversations and lost information for users.
