That's cool, and I get your perspective. Here's mine - I understand why some people are upset and no longer wish to support Reddit. The "right" thing to do, IMHO, would have been to start another community, explain why, and give people the option of migrating - pin it at the top or something. If you want to be more forceful, lock the sub so that no new info can be posted. As it is now, a small group of people unilaterally took action to "punish" Reddit and in doing so assumed control over my (the universal my - not my specifically, although I'm obviously included) content. That makes the mods no better than the corporation they're trying to protest, they're just using my content to different ends.
Bottom line - each individual should have had the choice to boycott or not boycott.
@refugee @Powderhorn
Maybe I don't understand the mechanics of what has happened. Can you not access your own posts from the locked subs?
In any case this is unfortunately a consequence of reddit delegating moderation to the community : clearly the mods did have the "right" or at very least the "authority" to do what they did.
I don't think you can but even if you could, they would lose context unless you were quoting the entire thread in all your responses.
@jackiebrown even if only a substantial minority of reddit users deleted their accounts & content that would still be a problem in the status quo. The reason I asked is because if you can still access your own posts, even out of context, then the mods haven't really taken anything from you.
