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.
That would make sense tbh. I might have to do it manually then. How many comments did you have on your account? I wanna gauge approximately how long it’d take for me to go through mine.
The other thing that concerns me is that I deleted my accounts, yet they still showed up (didn’t display as “deleted user”), and I was able to log into them.
One more thing: I recently came across this fork of PDS, which is slightly modified and supposedly works (though I’ve yet to try it): https://lemmy.ml/comment/3831970
Well… I don’t remember but I had about 2 years’ worth of comments across 3-4 accounts (I usually change accounts every few years), so about 6-8 years’ worth of comments.
Just editing the useful comments doesn’t take that long honestly - there were a lot of “hold my axe!” or pun chains that I left as is.
