Today, not in a moment of necessity, but a moment of protest, I logged in to Reddit because I found tons of comments and posts listed on old Reddit when you sort by top or controversial.

I logged in to Reddit to destroy even more of my comments that were missed by Power Delete Suite.

It seems a lot of people are doing this. I’ve seen some interesting stuff here and Reddit with screenshots of deleted comments with “this solved my problem” below the deletion.

The way I look at it, ALL of my content was posted via Apollo, just like all of my comments and posts are through WefWef here. If Reddit admins felt the API shouldn’t be free, then my submissions are also not free for them to monetize and get traffic from.

I know for a fact I’ve had 100+ #1 ranked longtail SEO posts in Reddit before I deleted everything. Many of them were getting tons of traffic based on the amount of follow-up private messages received years later.

I do expect Reddit’s traffic to go down as a whole because of everyone leaving but also because of how many removed their content.

That IPO of theirs is going so well.

Time to start building all that library of knowledge on the fediverse

That's why I saved a backup of my comments before I edited/wiped them all on Reddit.

When I get time I'll go through all 10 years worth of the backup to find information I can share again here.

Exactly. Waiting for some communities to get formed (I don’t want to run them or be a moderator). Some have started but low activity, especially in the health genre.

I’m really excited for the fediverse. I also knew that patience would prevail on lemmy world as they deal with growth. Today has been amazing to see all the updates they did to improve performance.

Finding all sorts of cool stuff on many instances to subscribe to. I’m actually starting to like this more than Reddit w/Apollo which is crazy to even say.

10 years of angularjs, angulat, react, and c# answers to problems just disapeared from reddit last week as i wiped all my accounts

[-] Norran@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

As a developer, this hits deep. RIP quality answers & search results for c# (in my case) related quedtions

Many are waiting for their data takeout requests to complete before doing the same. And to follow up with GDPR requests/GDPR deletion requests.

All to improve their quarter numbers pre-IPO.

I wanted to look up how to delete all the content I posted on reddit over the years. I do not find it. When I google "how do I delete all my reddit posts" I mostly get AI generated no name sites, ad-infested "Wiki-How" ... and reddit posts, which are most likely the most helpfull .... does not look like there is a "delete" button I can click, have to install scripts or something ... Fuck.
