Today my account is no more

After 8 years, today I just deleted all my comments and posts. So far they are deleted. I haven't deleted my account in case I have to delete them again. Fuck spez.

That is all

G'night

If you used Power Delete Suite, your comments are most likely still there, just hidden from you.

Why do you say that? I thought that was the way everybody was recommending to delete!

Tested myself. I ran PDS then checked my profile afterwards and everything was gone. I then went to bing and searched site:reddit.com "[USERNAME]" and sure enough, my comments were still there and visible, just not displayed in my profile.

I ran Shreddit last night (the command line tool, not the shitty website). It uses an API key you generate along with your GDPR data export to make sure it gets everything. So far, it looks like it's all gone, but I don't know if Reddit will let it stay gone.

I kept my account purely to post the occasional comment telling people to move to Lemmy.

I mostly get downvoted because it turns out people don’t give a shit that Reddit controls everything they see and do.
