Yes, stop talking about reddit! This said, I changed and the removed all my comments/posts and deleted my Reddit account afterwards! :)
I'm waiting to delete on June 30th, hoping other will do the same and it will make at least a ripple
Don't put off deleting your past comments too long, without the API you can only delete the 1000 most recent comments.
That said, when I tried to use Redact yesterday it was obvious reddit has some shenanigans going on - it would drop authenticated status on the first attempt to delete a message via the API.
So it's perhaps already too late.
I'm waiting for June 30th/July 1st to delete but in my heart I've left Reddit
Why this particular date?
That's when the API changes go into effect iirc, but I may delete my account earlier. Edit: Deleted today, screw Reddit.
xD spontaneity at it's finest
I was just debating it yesterday and I was like “well, not gonna use this app anymore anyway so screw it, might as well delete my account now instead of waiting.”
