Well, I just nuked all my Reddit accounts. (beehaw.org)

1 main, 1 alt, and a throwaway. 5, 5 and 3 years, with 14K karma between them. I wasn't a power user, but I wasn't exactly casual.

I had some great conversations, I had a lot of fun, I met the woman I love on Reddit. But it's clear that we're not users to them, we're just free content to be monetized so Reddit can boost their IPO. That doesn't interest me.

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my posts and then delete them. I'll keep the accounts around until I'm sure u/spez or one of his minions don't edit them back but I'm done. There's no going back, only forward.

Feels good.

I don't like to delete accounts because I'm not a fan of finality, but not being able to get to Reddit with Apollo means I can't/won't get to Reddit at all.

I met the woman I love on Reddit.

Same story, but on Twitter. We met 11 years ago after she got drunk and posted that she wanted a boy (or girl) friend, a mutual sent me the link to her tweet, I replied, and we've been married for seven years. Neither of us use Twitter any more, preferring to shitpost our way around Mastodon instead.

Life goes on, even when the websites don't.
