I took a quick look while it was up and it was just a user guide, similar to the lemmymigration subreddit

I just deleted Reddit after seeing this post lol

If you haven't done it, go back and delete your posts and comments. Reddit needs your content, without its users providing content and moderation Reddit is done.

Redact can automate your content purge.

Windows, Mac and Linux clients available.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I did that :) Also fuck u/spez

This will go away with the api changes right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yes. Don't wait around if you want to automate content removal.

Is there any way of downloading / exporting my comments? I know it sounds daft, but there's some of my early posts about personal stuff that I'd like to keep. I couldn't find anything in my account settings (first time I'd logged on to the actual website in a long time ha)

You can request your data, but it can take 30 days, so that's not very viable: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request

Power Delete Suite automates the exporting of your data, but from what I can tell it just exports your comments into a spreadsheet

Cool thanks. I'd be ok with waiting for the response before deleting my account. I might give that other option a go as well. Once I've got all my comments in a spreadsheet I might then realise how pointless keeping them is!

@charlytune @LinkOpensChest_wav I looked through my past comments on Reddit and I think only one was of any use. Frankly I mostly lurked, so they can have those comments. I'll delete my account June 30th (or before if spez tries damage control again) and just enjoy the fediverse.

I know I saw some programs mentioned in various threads that will download your posts and comments into JSON and .csv files

Does this affect the karma of the account? I was thinking about selling mine

[–] the_observer95 3 points 1 year ago

No, it doesn't affect the karma of the account. I just tried deleting some of my posts to check this, and it remained unchanged.

Honestly, such a disappointment to see what has been a great community devolve because of such short sighted decisions..
