Go one further, edit and delete all your posts.

I want reddit to die. It had its day, and what we have now is a poor reflection on what it was and what it’s supposed to be. Change is a good thing, it leads to improvement and making things better.

u/spez is Steve Huffman (if you even genuinely believe he’s been running the account these days).

The u/spez account will likely die along with his position. Meanwhile, Steve Huffman will get a golden parachute and laugh all the way to the bank.

Do not forget his name is Steve Huffman. Also, do not forget that he used to be a mod of r/jailbait and is almost certainly a paedophile.

Relay was my go to app also, something about the flow of the app UI always appealed to me more than any other apps. So much so, I continued using it even after I found the paid app included trackers (these can be blocked with Warden, a rare app scanner you can find on github).

However even if I wanted to stay on reddit I don’t think I’d pay a monthly subscription.

Reddit really should be paying users, not the other way around. They steal our data for free and seek to profit from it.

I don’t think it would be a “take them to court” job - in particular you’d struggle to prove actual damages. However you most definitely can report them to your country’s Information Commissioner’s Office, then leave the matter with them.

I kind of feel like they’ll just brush it under the rug, though. But really that is the correct course of action.

It’s not lies, that’s certainly been the case for me. If I visit old reddit, I get a broken page. If I log in and then visit old reddit, it works.

Maybe they’re doing a google and rolling out the change gradually across different regions.

Nice, I’ll look into that. However the PSD dev kind of shits on shreddit for requiring you to enter your password.

Make sure you do a GDPR data request first. The csv files contain a lot of stuff (although they don’t contain any associated accounts they believe you have), in particular there are links to every comment. Your profile doesn’t show every single comment you’ve ever made, and if you just delete your account they will delete the user but leave the comments up.

So you have to do it carefully. PowerDeleteSuite is good, however as I say it only has access to what’s on your profile - many older comments with lower karma will be missed.

It should be straightforward to use the csv files to extract the links and edit + delete from there, in the same way that PSD does it from the profile, but I’m still looking for something that does that.

200k+ comment karma, from 75,000 comments. I’ve run PowerDeleteSuite, but it hasn’t quite got everything. I think I need to use the GDPR request csv files to get the comments that don’t display in the profile, but I’m looking for something that will automate this.

Jebora :p

It still needs a lot of work, and there are some annoying bugs (particularly when using backspace in a comment) but it can only get better.

This reminds me of YouTube removing the dislike button.

Old reddit no longer works unless you’re logged in.

Steve Huffman is trying to stir up all the shit and get fired with a golden parachute, then the remaining team can blame it on him and reverse almost nothing.

I’m saving my popcorn for when they take over all the shutdown subs and kick out all their mods.

I mean, there’s an argument to be made that reddit was going down this path long before Twitter, what with their hosting and perhaps even promotion of r/t_d

Steve Huffman continues to piss on Aaron Swartz’s grave.
