I just ran Power Delete Suite on all of my comments and self posts, stating they have been removed in protest.

On July 1st, I am deleting every comment and post, then closing my account. Reddit was fun while it lasted.

The fediverse is still raw, but I see massive protentional here, and I am ready for this journey with all of you.

For that reason, I'm leaving mine up. Some might be useless, sure. But others I put some effort in. They're a little piece of Internet history, and I'm loath to set fire to that. I can still move to another platform while leaving my account intact.

I've done a data request with Reddit and will probably attempt to use a script to download my entire history (plus context, if possible) before July 1, then I'll see about overwriting the comments.
