    I edited many of my comments up to old ones to “I moved to Lemmy. Save yourselves”. They’re also boosted by the previous upvotes that the old content got

    The only account I bothered to purge all the comments prior to deleting was the 10 year old account that I used to post all of my OC articles. The rest I just deleted. I’m not sure it achieves anything but if anyone used reddit anything like I did, each of us just reduced the number of active accounts on the site by 5 or so.

    I know I’m kidding myself but I’d like to imagine total number of active accounts is one of the metrics being used for valuation during their IPO and they’re currently scrambling to explain why it just keeps dropping.

    I scrubbed all my 11+ years worth of posts and comments across four accounts. Some of those posts included technical fixes that I worked out myself and my posts were THE ONLY search result for those specific problems.

    I said in another discussion, I’m in no way a great Reddit personality, but I deleted all my stuff and it came back. I hope there’s some kind of personal data reckoning coming for Reddit, but even if there isn’t, fuck spez.

    This is sadly real since they undeleted all of mine 7 times. I think they’re praying you close the account, so they can toss the comments back up but have no say if it’s back up.

        Yup, but they’re hoping to sell all of it for AI training down the line and kill old Reddit where it’s easier to dodge ads.

        So they will likely say there’s no evidence who posted the original comment, and make you go through a maze of steps like requiring a driver’s license scan sent to them through email. Instagram tried this.

    I can’t tell you how frustrating it is even before all the drama how much it is to see the top comments deleted/removed or clicking a post and a mod removed it.
