Well Apollo has shut down so time to get rid of Reddit. I am currently using Power Delete Suite https://codepen.io/Deestan/full/gOQagRO/ to overwrite all of my old posts with some random text, then tomorrow I will run it again to actually delete all of the posts / comments.

Apparently if you just delete they can be easily restored.

Anyone else going down this path?

    I used PowerDeleteSuite on my account too. Google search results have already become noticeably worse because so much has been scrubbed from reddit. Seems like scrubbing your account data is the best way to protest. It’s like a strike - withdrawing my content from the platform seems like an effective way to signal that I no longer support it.

    I’ll still poke my nose in from time to time probably, but I won’t be contributing.
