You can backup and delete or modify all your old reddit content. 1,500,000+ karma and 11 years of my content is being deleted right now. Reddit's gold is user content: If you've left reddit, don't leave them your content.

While it's true that yes, deleting content isn't going to delete it from their servers and they'll still be able to utilize it, be aware that when they get caught doing so the EU and GDPR will fine them billions. Let's set them up for a good one.

really the only thing I found on reddit that wasn't readily available elsewhere was "how to get X game to run in a particular way" or something equally inane.

While it's a vast collection of advice and such, I think it's debatable whether it's good. It's also a bastion of fascism and the admins seem to be encouraging it. I would argue reddit themselves played as big a role in promoting the Trump campaign and presidency as Twitter did. Maybe bigger, because it gave them a marshalling platform.

All in all I don't think it's even a close decision, the plusses outweigh the minuses by a lot.
