Well, looks like Feddit (I hope there’s a German one called Deddit) is now my home. I’ve been here a while and am enjoying the more intimate atmos.
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve downloaded all my reddit posts and comments, deleted all my reddit posts and comments and now, today, deleted my account.
Goodbye /u/TheWrongFusebox, you were a blast.
I changed all my reddit comments today to state that I’m leaving and how I feel about the “leadership” of reddit. I used no profanities and I’m rather proud of that. It took considerable self control. Lemmy, and more specifically feddit.uk, is my new virtual home. To quote one of my favourite bands, “where I lay my head is home”
Now I feel dumb because I deleted my comments instead of editing for something like this.
I used a magic script thing (which, ironically, relies on the API) to edit every comment to “Goodbye!” first before deleting them.
Did the same, edited to something about the API changes then deleted, but could have left the comments up :(
Oh well
I don’t suppose you have a copy of that script still lying around? 🙂
I used https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
But I’d guess it probably doesn’t work anymore if it relied on the Reddit API to work.
Well, I successfully replaced a load of posts manually this morning via Infinity, so perhaps “1st July” hadn’t happened in the US yet?
