1 main, 1 alt, and a throwaway. 5, 5 and 3 years, with 14K karma between them. I wasn’t a power user, but I wasn’t exactly casual.

I had some great conversations, I had a lot of fun, I met the woman I love on Reddit. But it’s clear that we’re not users to them, we’re just free content to be monetized so Reddit can boost their IPO. That doesn’t interest me.

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my posts and then delete them. I’ll keep the accounts around until I’m sure u/spez or one of his minions don’t edit them back but I’m done. There’s no going back, only forward.

Feels good.

  • Same. I drag long-dormant accounts behind me because you never know when you’re going to need it. But the vast majority of my Reddit use was on my phone, which meant the Apollo was Reddit for me. And really, the company behaved so shittily in that episode it totally soured me on wanting to be associated with them.
