Given today’s revelations with Reddit’s CEO and his sense of entitlement, I think there is a serious risk of losing our ability to bulk-change the text of our posts before removing our accounts, so I’d like to do this sooner than later.

Mine is a 9+ year account with a LOT of comments, so I want to make each one count.

In my text, I would like to mention:

  • what the fediverse is
  • what potential I believe it has over reddit
  • a link for people to browse various KBin instances, and another for Lemmy (which links should I use?)

For the comment section below:

  1. What text did you choose to replace your reddit posts with?
  2. What tool did you use to do it? (How was the experience?)
  3. What do you think about merely abandoning the account rather than deleting it so that reddit might be forced to remove it themselves? (I really don’t mind deleting it at this point either, just looking for thoughts.)
  4. Feel free to contribute any other thoughts related to the topic.

Thank you.

    1. Crap I can’t even remember, not anything interesting at least. Probably some blurb about the API changes.
    2. PowerDeleteSuite
    3. I didn’t close my account since I plan on visiting occasionally to lure malcontents to the fediverse
    4. Hmmm, I guess be careful with PowerDeleteSuite. I was using it with Reddit Enahncement Suite (IDK if that matters) on Firefox and though I checked the option to backup all my posts and comments locally it only saved 12 of them out of hundreds. There are other tools to back up your Reddit content in a separate action (don’t have a link handy), so maybe do that first to be safe if you want to keep those to repost, etc.
