can anyone recommend an easy tool to do this? I don't want to leave anything behind they can scrape and profit from.

Personally, I always deleted and re-created accounts after a year at most. Still have my current but I've hardly used it since migrating.

Yeah. I'm feeling like doing the same. I did not post much, and what I did, did not gain much traction. But I think it's time to leave that place.

Nope, I did the same yesterday without looking back. I feel happy not to use this corporate crap anymore.

I couldn't truly nuke my account. I'm studying for mcat and r/MCAT has a ton of better explanations for aamc (test maker) practice tests.

I sort use Lemmy 90% and reddit 10%.

I also installed blacklist to filter out reddit content (their is a toggle to show hidden reddit searches in worst case if needed). This kinda helps give visibility to other sites.

What was the Name of the Tool?

Geez you didn’t save the content beforehand? I would absolutely have found a way to archive that stuff first

Why delete though? Its all still there in Reddit's database.

I am struggling to go and do it myself but this helps seeing someone with 12 years of history. Would love to be able to download the 10,000+ pages of stuff I wrote though to not lose it forever.

I had this feeling when deleting another social media account. On a good note, it's fleeting. Now most are in the void for me.

For those asking, I used redact.dev to delete my stuff. It's available on lots of platforms including mobile.

here's a question, wouldn't it be more impactful to encourage users to redact with a protest statement promoting fedverse first?

assuming they're doing a 30 day backup scheme then this becomes part of their working set going forward. messing with the data in this way especially if we can do it in volume might make it harder for LLMs to extract useful information from our noise.

we then can then start deleting our posts as a second protest after that.

thoughts?
