Thanks for posting this, because I started getting bummed thinking about how much of a great resource the full reddit history would be to just have online, were that whole thing not ruined gut bad reasons by bad people.

But then you reminded me about the good people.

I found the helpers, Mr Rogers!

I feel strange when instead of deleted it is a random bunch of words, a trademark of actively having used some browser extension to clear out your posts and comments as part of the exodus from reddit.

Then I feel good about seeing the effects of protesting against the reddit megacorp, but also hair pullingly annoyed because FUCK NOW WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THIS TOASTER

I don't even know how much help I removed from reddit before I left. The only sub I left in tact was the lemmy sub to help people escape at the time.

I hear that mentioning lemmy as a reddit alternative attracts the ban hammer on reddit nowadays. I do it anyways when I'm feeling cheeky.
