What the title says.

A certain Mr. Huffman is making Reddit, which was once the frontpage of the internet (it still is, albeit for different reasons) a living hell for us.

Being in the coding/development trade as my profession, I am a huge advocate of anything FOSS, so when I found Lemmy, I did not look back.

Thanks to PowerDeleteSuite, I got rid of all my contents from Reddit. I did hear reasonings like “leave them there, for the benefits of lurkers” - but nope. I do not trust the sorting algorithm of Reddit anymore, I do not believe people will get to see my content if needed. So yep, blow 'em up.

I kept a close eye for a while on whether my posts and comments get resurrected (yes I did read about people experiencing this) - but I guess PDS did a good job for me.

So there you go, Snoo - you are cute - but creepy Stevie is fucking with your cuteness, and fucking with all of us.

    If you have a lot of comments then even if the profile shows nothing it doesn’t mean everything is deleted.

    Found that out after I did a GDPR request and saw that due to reddit limitation the profile doesn’t display all your comments. Only like the top 1000?

    So I used shreddit which uses the reddit GDPR files to delete the files with the links provided.

      Thanks. But I don’t care anymore. I did all I could to get rid of my contents, but those will somewhere be on the internet (at least on wayback machine) - nothing on the internet is lost forever.
