good riddance
gkd ( @gkd@lemmy.ml ) 15•1 year agoHonestly, even if Lemmy doesn’t grow to be even 1% of the size of Reddit, I think I could seriously enjoy the smaller-community vibe way more. Reddit was starting to get ridiculously flooded with trash content and bots.
carbonprop ( @carbonprop@lemmy.ca ) 7•1 year agoDeleted mine yesterday after 12 1/2 years. Felt pretty good actually.
tomdenhagen2 ( @tomdenhagen2@sh.itjust.works ) English4•1 year agoI don’t know, it felt kind of mixed to me. I definitely had some feeling of mourning as I was deleting 11 1/2 years of my personal content. The same feeling you might have throwing out childhood toys, or more accurately like old diaries. Nevertheless, I felt strongly that it was the right thing to do to delete all my comments. They’re backup up but it’s all in JSON so I don’t think I’ll revisit it again.
aMalayali ( @aMalayali@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year agoBacked up and deleted all your posts and comments? Is there some sort-of simple way to do that, for people who’re not programmers?
macniel ( @DmMacniel@feddit.de ) 3•1 year agoUse https://codepen.io/j0be/full/WMBWOW/
you can backup your stuff, modify your stuff before deleting and regular delete as well.
aMalayali ( @aMalayali@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoThank you.
Many of the subs have gone private and I can’t see any post or comment that I shared there on my profile. Would Power delete suite be able to get those? It seems that it can’t, but asking here incase if there’s some workaround.Or would I have to wait for the blackout to end and the subs to become public(if they decide so)?
I think there is a way to do it, but redditors have been encountering problems accessing the feature necessary for this kind of deletion.

aMalayali ( @aMalayali@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoThank you. Would it also work on my posts and comments in subs that went private?
animist ( @animist@lemmy.one ) 1•1 year agoI am not sure. It’s basically a script, so if you can’t do that now then you won’t be able to with PowerDeleteSuite.
Laura ( @Suspicious_Bee@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English2•1 year agoPowerDeleteSuite creates a csv file with your deleted posts and comments, and using it is pretty simple
aMalayali ( @aMalayali@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoThank you. Will it be able to get my posts and comments from subs that went private? Or will it only work on subs that are public?
WreckingBANG ( @WreckingBANG@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year agoI deleted mine after 3 years. First i was skeptical if i was doing the right thing, but now i am happy i did it.
Kerrangutan ( @Kerrangutan@lemmy.one ) 1•1 year agoFinished deleting my posts and comments yesterday, once I’ve gone through my saved stuff and backed up anything I want to keep, my account is gone. I might even do a GDPR request etc just to be totally sure.
Boterham ( @Boterham@feddit.de ) 0•1 year agoI have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand: This is the way. But on the other hand: It’s pretty sad if all the knowlegde, that accumulated on reddit, would be lost. Whenever I was searching a problem on the web, there was a reddit post popping up describing exactly my problem and most of the time there was a solution.
That knowledge is with the users who propagated it and they can do it again
