I was there for 12 years! Not that it’s a competition. It was a very weird transition at first.
Same. It was actually a big enough change to routine that it took a few weeks to stop automatically opening Reddit.
Hol up, you were using the reddit app / website and still left? Good on you! For most of us clicking on our reddit browsers simply brought up nothing so the routine was quickly broken (removed RIF).
Used old.reddit and Bacon Reader if not at a PC. Been there long enough for this to be the last straw, for real this time.
Then reddit admins use the time stone and all your comments are restored. You’ll need the GDPR stone to do it permanently.
I’d rather edit every single post / comment to say “Fuck u/spez” but I don’t know how to use the API to do that and I don’t have the time to commit to that project :/
I used Redact to do it automatically, on my 13 years old account
Lol some subreddits had changed their automod to warn you for changing your comments to “fuck Spez”
I got one that sorta said “oh you are editing all your old comments before leaving reddit? Let me ban you to help you not come back”
Then they banned me not even 10 minutes before I deleted my account. It was such a pathetic sounding message lmfao.
Same energy as “You can’t break up with me because I’m breaking up with you!”
The funny thing is being banned from a subreddit doesn’t even stop you from continuing to edit your old comments in that subreddit. You just can’t make any new ones.
Good suggestion. My next Selenium project may begin this Saturday.

I had like 10 Reddit Accounts over the past years
Right? Same here. I don’t understand how people cherish their Reddit accounts so much.
F in the chat
Nice username lol
Deleted my 8 year old account and posts just last week. Feels great man.
Nixed my account. Not missing it.
I refuse to delete my writing account I started 12 years ago in case someone tries to steal my content again.
@balderdash9 9 year old account…gone. I can’t believe how much it took me to do that. The day after they started their new charges. I really held out hope that they would see reason, like Hasbro with the whole license issue. Shame. Goodbye Reddit. Burn in hell.
The difference with the Hasbro D&D license though is the cliche “you are the product” quote. Hasbro needs to sell D&D products to the people who they upset, but Reddit only needs to sell impressions to advertisers who didn’t care about the API.
I went to check it out recently and I don’t recognize it anymore. Spending some time away was good for me. 11 years and it’s gone.
I got perma banned off of reddit for commenting on a sub that I had been banned from, and instead of them just not letting my comment post - they instead basically ban you for posting again.
So if you get banned of a sub on reddit and forget because…who cares… You get yourself perma’d for ban evasion.
I got banned from like a news sub for saying “surprise not everyone shares your political opinion, of course there’s dissent”.
That’s when reddit for me went absolutely to shit. Just getting blacklisted by mods who are reading into everything.
Yep. Bunch of echo chambers honestly. Mods will ban you literally for questioning the modding standards of certain communities. Which means only people who agree are allowed in; there’s no way to change the rules. Power hungry fucks.
Most deletion tools only view the profile pages, they have a 1k non refreshing cap. So only 1k newest, 1k top etc. . So otherwise delete account just makes the rest against a [deleted] user the posts are all still there.
Until spez brings them back…
