I was sort of holding on to hope, that something would change. Unfortunately, nothing did and so, here I am.
I’m really liking kbin so far, so I’m looking forward to spending more time with you all over here. ❤️
e: spelling
I’m holding out on deleting mine until I know my comments and posts are staying gone. I went through PowerDeleteSuite twice and everything still came back, so we’ll see what happens.
I also don’t want to delete it because it’s closing the door on the time I spent there. Folks on Reddit helped me get through a lot of mess and sadness in my life. It feels like losing a friend.
I was holding onto my account as well. That was until just a few minutes ago. I was browsing /r/all to see if there was any remaining discussion on the API shutting down. I only came across a couple of threads, all of which, to varying degrees, misrepresented what is going on. Comments making lite of the impact of 3rd party apps dying, and completely ignoring the fact that the owner of Reddit is acting with complete disrespect towards those who made the platform what it is today.
At that moment, I didn’t give a shit about my account anymore. Are there bots astroturfing the comment section? Maybe. Are there users who are acting a little smug because they don’t feel negatively impacted at all yet? Probably. Whatever. They can have whatever is left of the site.
I’m not going to stand for this. It feels like in life, there are so many bad things that happen that we have no control over. This is something I have 100% control over. It’s so simple, just never go on Reddit again.
It was never about Reddit in the first place. It was just about hopping onto a forum and talking about games, current events, memes, comics, art, cats, etc. If /u/Spez and his ilk are going to be so disrespectful towards those who want to facilitate said forum, then I’ll find another one immediately.
I’ve threatened Reddit with legal action unless they remove my account at once and without hesitation. They are a fraudulent web forum, and are under indictment for illegally banning users who have no previous violations.
I feel like playing No Doubt’s Don’t Speak on repeat. It is a weird collective mourning we’re going through.
Yeah, that happened to me too. From what I understand, there’s like a 5 second cooldown when you edit/delete stuff, but PowerDeleteSuite doesn’t take that into account so some stuff just gets skipped. I had to go back and manually edit a bunch of comments.
There is a fork that does: https://github.com/pkolyvas/PowerDeleteSuite
How long did it take for comments to come back?
It took about four days and every comment was back. I just checked this morning to see if anything has returned from when I cleared last night, and the more recent comments are gone, but I still have comments from last year that I’m working on now. My account is almost 10 years old, so I have a lot of activity to delete before deleting my account. Going to try the link from emrys a little ways up and see what happens there.
Oh, wow that long… Guess I didn’t wait long enough to be sure. However 2 days in and I don’t see comments that I saved a permalink to. (I did delete my account yesterday)
Yeah, I had noticed a few the next day and just manually edited and deleted them. I decided to wait a couple more days to see if anymore would come back and they all did.
I went through the link for PowerDeleteSuite that was posted a few comments up and that seemed to have done the trick. I deleted mine last night. Felt like closing a chapter.
I used the time delayed PDS and mine seem to still be gone…
I really wasn’t ready as sick as I did until I started watching Redact edit every single comment one-by-one, watching so many years of comments going by. It’s rare to watch an era play back in front of you before it disappears like that. But at the same time I feel a lot more free to explore new platforms (like this one, this is my first comment on kbin :D). I’m ultimately glad that, while for abhorrent reasons, I was given the oppertunity to disconnect from Reddit and find more niche communities and websites again. I felt like it was 2004 all over again.
It’s a shame to have to migrate away from a place when it was fundamentally damaged by terrible top-down decisions. 2023 really is the year of getting less for more.
Do you know how to hide posts on here once you've voted on them? That would be a nice feature
I was permanently banned from Reddit for daring to suggest something or other (no doubt an anti-gay fascist type) that offended someone, somewhere. No explanation of what it was. I have nearly 5K followers, but now that I’m perm banned I want my Reddit account deleted for good. They say they can’t delete it. I’ve threatened legal action against them unless they do so - I do not want my username or likeness associated with their fraudulent forum any longer. I seriously have filed papers against them and will use my estate inheritance to sue them if they do not delete my account and all traces of it for good.
Thank you for your service and welcome aboard!
I’m not going back. Spez can drown in his greed. My account was 14 years old.
I’m running PowerDelete as we speak. Kinda sad to see it go, but also kind of liberating lol
Did the same, and signed up here. Let’s see what happens.
I wasn’t holding on to hope but I’m lazy so I kept using Apollo right up until the end. Created my account here a couple of weeks ago though. I like it here, feels like late 00s internet.
Been here since the blackouts started and it feels much more chill here.
Just pulled the plug on my 8 year old account as soon as Sync stopped working. I had already made my decision a few days ago once mods were being forcibly removed so this was merely a formality. It was still a sombre feeling watching it burn, but I’m glad that I can move on now.
Anyway, welcome and here’s to a new era without corporate enshittification.
Cancelled my Reddit premium subscription just before the boycott. Deleted my 8 year old account this morning. In the box where they asked me to explain why I wanted to delete my account I said ti was in direct response to how they handled everything and their blatant disregard and disrespect they showed to the users of Reddit who made that site what it is today.
Going to miss some things about it, but it was becoming a toxic wasteland, so, off to bigger and better things 😌
I deleted my 12 year old account the other month. Still have to delete my 7 year old alt account…thing is I can’t figure out how to delete my comments that were left in communities that went private, so that’s why I haven’t deleted it entirely yet.
Only thing I’m going to miss is the smaller communities I was a part of. The rest of it I won’t miss at all.
Well done!
This gives me the courage and boost to delete my reddit account which I haven’t been using since the morality collapseDo it and free yourself from the past!
