Used a script to overwrite old comments to finalize my switch to Lemmy, and got this message from one of the subreddit that i commented.

Yes my intention is to annoy and create awareness. After i delete my account, Reddit is not going to get to keep my pearls of wisdom, or shenanigans. I hope more people edit their old comments to something like [moved to Lemmy].

    Waybackmachine has your comments anyway so there’s no point in deleting them.

    The hottest of hot takes.

        Worth noting that if you use Reddit exclusively via wayback and go back like a decade you’ll probably have a more enjoyable experience.

              Back in my day we had to read through a 10-panel rage comic just to get the dumbest take imaginable

                I’m still trying to figure out why I’m nostalgic for those days.

                /r/fuuuuuu I think was called or something was one of the first subs I subscribed to back in the day, then I unsubbed after some time because I realized it was draining my IQ

      So people can have the benefit of old helpful comments without having to visit reddit? Sounds like a plus.

      Yup. Totally doesn’t sound desperate.

      You mean “the bullshittiest of fake takes”

      It’s not a hot take if they’re lying
