Delete reddit content yay or nay? (lemmy.world)

Seems that if we delay deleting content to after July 1st it might be nigh on impossible. As traffic from goggle to old posts will still benefit reddit should we delete or not?

EDIT just spotted this

I just think the mass deletion of content is such a loss for the internet as a whole. I wish instead of people supporting deleting Reddit comments, there was a way for individuals to upload a history of their comments onto a Lemmy instance. I just think deleting all of your reddit contribution is a massive loss for the Internet, regardless of the significance of the contribution.

This tool, that I’ve not used yet, allows you to export your content, then edit it, then delete it.

I’ve read that a deleted comment can be restored but an edit first wipes out the backup. Use at your own pace.

I would be really happy to learn if this is a viable option

Totally agree. Would be so nice if there was a way to mirror our Reddit past into the fediverse.

This is exactly what I am doing. Saved all my comments and posts with a script, now slowly reposting my own original content into the fediverse.

There are a lot of guides on how to do this in the RedditMigration magazine on kbin.social
