A screenshot, taken way before rexxit, of two comments on reddit, dated "1 year ago".
The first comment is by a deleted user and the comment has been removed. The second comment is a reply to the deleted comment and it says: "That solved it. Thanks!"
Edit: added temporal context.
This is why maintaining your account there and keep deleting your comments/posts will destroy Reddit. Do it, you have the power.
I destroyed thirteen years of comment and post history. Is there any reason I should further maintain my account? I'm asking because if there's something more I can do to screw with their site via my account, I'm all ears.
Make sure your posts are deleted, and sell it to an advertiser. Just look up where to sell. A 13 Year old account will make you a good bit of money, and it will in all likelihood be used to spam the site with an ad campaign.
Man on one hand that would feel cathartic as fuck, and who would mind a bit of extra money, but I don't think I can bring myself to do that.
I still feel a bit ambivalent about deleting comments in general, like yes it hurts the company, but it also hurts innocent users just looking for answers.
weird to say but once i found a answer for a problem in reddit that wasn't solved/asked even in stack overflow.
Once? Happened all the time for me
I looked up account buyers once. They really do hand out cash money for established Reddit accounts. They have these huge never ending lists of accounts for sale with details like how old it is, if it comes with activity in certain subs. All with prices right on them.
Makes me wish I still had my og account from 11 years ago.
Yes, submit a GDPR/CCPA (Reddit is in California, so they are legally required to serve these request to anyone 'protected' by US laws) request. It's expensive and time consuming for them. It should also help you confirm if all of your data has actually been deleted. They have 30 days to comply with the request.
My plan is, one I get my data and confirm everything is deleted, to submit another request if any data was found and will repeat this until all of the data is gone. Only then will I finally submit one more out of spite followed by immediately deleting the account. Honestly not sure how that will affect them processing it but I'd imagine it should then indeed confirm the account itself is 'deleted'.
Excellent. I don't have any other idea yet but I always think it's better to maintain an account there in case we want to use it. I plan to use my account to refer people to Lemmy for example.
Voting on protest polls from your communities.
yes but at the same time -- isn't this worse for us, the users, as a whole losing bits of information like this? the fucks up top do not give a shit about any of this
It absolutely is worse for users because we can only find the content via channels that spez approves of - removing the content just means you can find the content to be unavailable faster than if you had to scroll through the ads
Yes, but it forces all of us to look for and construct a better alternative that's not tied to the whims of the tyrants that runs corporations.
