I feel free !
Thanks to Power Delete Suite.
I actually run cupoftea.social on mastodon so I was already very familiar with the fediverse. The more platforms for it the better.

    I won’t delete my account immediately. I am concerned they will reinstate all comments in a month or so. Want to make sure they are not comming back before i delete my account.

      Same here. Ran a script to edit and delete all my comments yesterday. At least cleared out the 1,000 that Reddit saves in your comment history. I’m not deleting my account yet in case they decide to mysteriously restore my comments.

        I did the same thing and I saw someone here mention after they ran a script some comments magically reappeared some time after. I checked mine and low and behold about 10 (out of 4,500) reappeared so it wasn’t to bad editing and deleting them.

          If enough folks do it, Reddit will most likely flag any comment edits or deletes that happen > 2 months (arbitrary) after the comment creation date.

          Reddit already has the data and they will figure out a way to recover 90%+ of it.

    Someone should make a site where everyone can post their shreds and we can see things like total karma burned or total comments shredded, or top shredded accounts.

    Congratulations!, I hope they don’t restore your comments, they really don’t deserve them.

    I can feel the heat death of the tech bro universe in my soul and it is nourishing. Let the great separation of social media ensue. Leave the corporations to mingle and advertise eachother… and let us go be us without algorithm and financial motivation. I like it. I like it a lot.

      Probably status. Means you contributed a lot. Of course in real life it doesn’t mean anything!

      I’ll go against the “it doesn’t matter” grain and give you a real answer: It just feels good to know people like having you around and appreciate your contributions. I could look at my karma total and know that in the 12 years I used reddit, an average of ~27 people per day, every day, appreciated the fact that I was there. Even if it took almost nothing for them to show it, it was nice to be reminded that I connected with that many people in a positive way.

        On the other hand, it makes the site as a whole shittier, because people become obsessed with making their number bigger, and a huge amount of activity is done purely with that goal in mind.

          Well, I only claim to speak for how I view it – why people care about it (which was the question). Not some guess at how it affects the site overall.

      i honestly don’t care about it at all. my main reddit has like 60k and is 14 years old. it’s really just a number that shows how much you’ve posted on the site / how long you’ve been on the site

      sort of like your age. why do we track age? just an arbitrary number based on the earth going around the sun. but it’s a number and it shows progress so why not

    Congrats! Feels liberating. Just deleted my entire history (posts and comms) this morning! 12 years, 35k karma. I’m waiting a bit to delete my account in case the rollback story is a thing so I can delete them again.

      I’m not going to delete my 225k karma account. I am going to use GreaseMonkey to overwrite all of my comments & posts with “Censored by Reddit”

      Did the same. 12 year account with posts and comments for a wide variety of subs. Used Nuke Reddit History add on which edits the comments and then deletes them. I started it a week ago and each day run it again for the posts it missed. Will delete the account on 1st July. No Regrets…

    I deleted my 7 year old 1 million karma account, at least all the comments and submissions. As subreddits open back up from private more keep trickling in and I’m having to run Power Delete Suite again to get them all. I am waiting until the 30th before full deletion just to make sure I got everything because I don’t want them to profit off my posts and replies in the future.

    Yeah, I was mostly a lurker on reddit, but actually posted a lot more than I thought I did. I’m cleaning out my account now. But I’m not deleting it yet. I want to give it a few weeks to see if they try to role back any accounts to restore some of the content that was lost.

    Here’s hoping I post even more here.
