I was a piker and just hit the delete button without doing any of these things. Did I lose some history that, in retrospect, I might have wanted to revisit...honestly, no! I never went back and visited my old posts and (and I'm embarrassed to admit this), none of them were likely to have any value to future generations.

Some people post great, information rich posts about how to debug .NET applications or defuse nuclear weapons. I think my greatest contribution to Reddit was making a pun that once got 54 likes.

The important thing to remember is to delete your Reddit account (and hope that AskHistorians comes to the Fediverse eventually!).

Big brain move.

Power Delete Suite is amazing, and thank you to the wizard that made it!

A part of me wants to kinda salt the earth and hopes that there will be a data shredder script that doesn't delete all comments, but instead uses ChatGPT to bloat all of them up to maximum comment length. No idea if this has a considerable effect on data size on the server. But I would be happy just imaging that it does.

A more harmless and funny approach could be to instead to just push the original comment through several iterations of translations and dialects till the original comment becomes nonsense.

The non-confrontational part might be just numb to all the corporate greed making stuff worse and is just trying to enjoy this new experience instead
