13 years on Reddit. I was part of the Great Digg Exodus... now the Great Reddit Exodus.
I deleted all my comments on Reddit, all of my posts, and then toasted my user account just before the API deadline. Not looking back.
13 years, but I didn't come from Digg. My pal in college showed it to me.
I noticed one day that the entire front page was imgur links. It was a steady decline.
It was still okay when I nuked my account, but I wanted to spend less time on social media, anyway.
I like Lemmy well enough, but I don't spend as much time on it as I did reddit/Facebook.
Dropped both. Pop in to the fediverse a couple times a day on my phone and pop out.
Learning Linux. Not missing a lot of my old spots like I thought I would.
That'd put me at 15+ years prolly. I remember how salty people were about the digg refugees.
Is there a tool for deleting everything prior the account itself?
Power delete suite
I used a Tampermonkey script called Reddit History Sanitiizer: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/23605-reddit-history-sanitizer/code
You can modify it to do what you want… Power Delete Suite works too. There’s a lot more out there, especially now.
Are you sure about that? There were some reported cases of Reddit bringing back the content. They only listen to GDPR complaints (or that one Californian equivalent).
Son-of-a-bitch. I just searched with Google... and almost ALL my old comments are back. The user attribution is [deleted], but almost all the content of 13 or 14 years of comments has been restored. In a few cases, a top-level comment has not been restored, but everywhere in sub-comment conversations, I see my old content... content I know I explicitly deleted.
So, even though I explicitly deleted my contributions, they ignored and restored it. What an asshole move by the Reddit admins. And of course, now that my account has been deleted there's no way to follow up and re-remove all my contributions.
I wonder. Considering that the vast majority of my comments on Reddit were done while I lived in Europe if I can use GPRD and insist they remove it all.
