After a month of outrage, protests, and unrest from the community, Reddit has finally flipped the switch to shut down some third-party apps, including Apollo, Sync, and BaconReader.

Given all the antics by the company and the despicable behavior by spez and his henchmen, my position on reddit has gone from "I'll use it much less now that my mobile app is gone and I only have desktop access" to "I will go out of my way to avoid providing value to the company even if it inconveniences me".

I just spent the better part of 5 hours yesterday manually deleting all my top comments from reddit. They can revoke edits made by pushshift, but they won't be able to figure out which manual edits to revoke. I used to give out technical advice on reddit and I used to get messages thanking me for posts I made years ago. Now all of those posts are gone.

Ditto. Went from kinda apathetic to full blown hate after all that muppet's antics.

That is what we need to do, take what is ours, the content itself

There's ways to automatically delete every post and comment you ever made, i forgot the sites name but someone built one

Let me know if you or anyone else remembers the site. I gave a lot of PC/tech support on reddit.

This is the one I used. It deletes everything. It also edits all your comments to whatever custom message you want. This means that if reddit attempts to revoke your comments they'll get your custom edit instead of the original content.
