A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Considering doing what someone else suggested and editing all your comments to explain why you left, to mess with the data it has access to rather than outright removing it

Haha this sounds like such an amazing F you to reddit.

This is what I did, too. I even included a little blurb about Lemmy.

I suspect the account might just get banned and comments deleted, but nevertheless they were (or will be) there for at least a little while, and it removed my participation in reddit's profit machine. It was oh so satisfying to do even if it only had a super small impact.
