due to the rolling blackout… I think it’s had its effect.

I think I am done with reddit.

it’s a shame because as someone who doesn’t use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don’t get online.

I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit.

anyway, I’m just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?

    My account was 13 years old… back from the great Digg migration.

    Over the past decade I’ve been very active on a range of subs, with a more recent focus on professional technology, politics and gaming.

    Over the years I’d amassed in excess of 300k comment karma, and not an insignificant bit of post karma (mostly from back in the SCO tech war).

    I’m walking away at this point… even if spez was kicked out the door by the Board the bad faith shown is just the straw that broke the dromedary’s back.

    Since I am within the scope of GDPR and I want this to be painful on them (plus there are useful bits i refer to from my old history from time to time)… I’ve issued the GDPR data request and intend to follow through with a “right to be forgotten” GDPR data deletion request once that’s been fulfilled.
