    I would highly recommend that everyone run a tool like Redact over your reddit accounts. Deprive them of your user contributions if they’re going to play this way.

      Kind of disagree… Not that I’m saying don’t but I have Q/A for programming things and other topics that’s years old. Its already been scrapped, and it is useful for others to find even years later.

        Yeah, I briefly flirted with the idea of nuking my account, but before I deleted it I would get a comment once in awhile, on a post/comment from years ago thanking me for solving an issue someone was having. And despite how much I really don’t want to continue contributing to reddit’s profits, I felt like having that there for someone to stumble on after hours of searching and smashing their face in the keyboard was worth whatever reddit makes off it. Also I had some wicked burns on some fascist shit bags.
