I just ran Power Delete Suite on all of my comments and self posts, stating they have been removed in protest.
On July 1st, I am deleting every comment and post, then closing my account. Reddit was fun while it lasted.
The fediverse is still raw, but I see massive protentional here, and I am ready for this journey with all of you.
this makes my little archivist heart sad tbh. fuck spez.
As a newbie data hoarder the Reddit exodus has felt like my first real trail for making a personal archive of content I wanna go back to. Ran a scraper on a few of my top subs right before the blackout on top of cherry picking posts I regularlly returned to for information.
Overall think I’m pretty set for never returning to that place.
I’ve done a data request with Reddit and will probably attempt to use a script to download my entire history (plus context, if possible) before July 1, then I’ll see about overwriting the comments.
