should we be discussing reddit less?

Ilikemoney@beehaw.org to Chat@beehaw.org – 485 points –

Seems like a good portion of the activity in the communities is reddit oriented. If the goal is leaving/hurting reddit, it seems we should be continuing on like it doesn't exist, instead of continuing to drive interest to the site. Thoughts?

Yes, stop talking about reddit! This said, I changed and the removed all my comments/posts and deleted my Reddit account afterwards! :)

I'm waiting to delete on June 30th, hoping other will do the same and it will make at least a ripple

Don't put off deleting your past comments too long, without the API you can only delete the 1000 most recent comments.

That said, when I tried to use Redact yesterday it was obvious reddit has some shenanigans going on - it would drop authenticated status on the first attempt to delete a message via the API.

So it's perhaps already too late.

I'm waiting for June 30th/July 1st to delete but in my heart I've left Reddit
