      Yeah I edited all of my posts and comments to say why I was leaving, where I was headed and how I wiped my account. Viva la revolucion :D

    I recommend mlem! 10 year reddit user and daily Apollo user, this isn’t feeling as foreign as I’d imagined. It helps that I browse /r/all like a madman, so browsing /c/all here isn’t actually that different

    Just deleted my 14 year old account. Just a tip with redact when deleted you can edit all your comments and posts to say something. I entered “Deleted due to reddit’s API policy”.

      I did exactly the same an hour ago, joined Reddit in 2008, and was active in several communities.It was actually really hard, at least harder than expected. I didn’t just delete my account but used Redact to completely nuke it.
      I feel a bit lost, to be honest. This feels a bit like the old newsgroups (gods I’m old),still here’s to new beginnings :)

    Nice.
    I went nuclear and used Redact (redact.dev) to edit-then-delete all my posts.
    Reddits value is its communities and content.

      This is the way IMO. Nuke your posts first, then delete your account.

      Also helps if you had, in your younger days perhaps, posted any PII on reddit that you’ve now forgotten about.

      I did this also, but then read that because loads of subreddits are dark our comments don’t get deleted from them!! Should’ve waited until the subreddits were back in hindsight, but ahh well is a little late for me now as my account is gone.

    It’s rather wonderful - I deleted my many accounts and now enjoying life on the bright side.

    I’m not sure I’d go back to Reddit now even if they sort out their act…

        I’m thinking of doing the same, just waiting on the data download request to go through. I wish I could delete it immediately though…

        Same though, I feel this has given me the push I needed to quit Reddit entirely. I’d gotten control over pretty much all other social media so I honestly appreciate this in a way.
