/r/AccidentalRenaissance moderators have all resigned. The subreddit has permanently shut down and moved to Lemmy.

Lee Duna@lemmy.nz to Reddit@lemmy.world – 4239 points –

AccidentalRenaissance has no active moderators due to Reddit's unprecedented API changes, and has thus been privated to prevent vandalism.

There was never a chance for compromise. This was about money; a premature, over blown, knee jerk, pie-in-the-sky hope to cash in on free expert input based on decades of good will interactions performed for free by people who cared about their subject matter.

I deleted every comment I'd ever made and left pretty much immediately. They can eat their own shit.

Don't forget to go back a week out and verify that your deleted comments didn't mysteriously reappear. Seems like that's been happening a lot lately, according to various reports. (I haven't really had the heart to go delete all of my own comments. Yet.)

Get your account banned, boom, comments gone. If you want to cause additional pain GDPR request on your banned account every 30 days. They still have to comply with requests as long as they hold your data. Make them work even though you don't use the site.

I heard one guy had manually deleted their comments only to find sometime later they were restored.

On a couple I saw my name deleted but not the comment. I assumed it was sluggishness or something. I didn't have much to delete even though I'd been there 12? years so I'm not going to.. oh, also deleted account(s) so guess whatever they do is in their hands now anyway.
