I just ran Power Delete Suite on all of my comments and self posts, stating they have been removed in protest.

On July 1st, I am deleting every comment and post, then closing my account. Reddit was fun while it lasted.

The fediverse is still raw, but I see massive protentional here, and I am ready for this journey with all of you.

    It’s crazy isn’t it? Six months in and Mastodon still hasn’t clicked for me, but six days here and I know I’m not going back to Reddit.

      My sentiments exactly! It feels like Lemmy is exploding. But like, a good explosion.

      Same boat. But Twitter wasn’t really my kind of social media anyway, maybe that’s why Mastodon hasn’t locked in?

        Twitter’s only purpose is for blue checkmarks to scream into the void, but why do that when you can watch more fun versions of blue checkmarks shitpost on Lemmy instead?

    I had two accounts, one 8 years old and one 4 years old, with a combined karma of about 120k. Deleted them both earlier. Nothing of value was lost; the only “conversation” you can find on Reddit is salty arguments anyway.

    You might want to hold off on the deletion part… After the comments about “reddit is restoring posts”, I logged back in and saw my entire history had been restored after 24 hours. That includes messages I deleted years ago.

    So, went through and re-ran power delete suite again. Next day, there were a few back.

    Going the lather-rinse-repeat route with wiping them. I figure if they want to burn CPU cycles recovering my stuff, I can burn their CPU cycles deleting it again. At some point I’ll see about sending them a support request to remove all of my data if it keeps occurring.

    I wouldn’t delete your account (in case Reddit tries to replace the deleted comments as they have been doing). But I would unsubscribe from every subreddit.

    Additionally, if you have any very useful comments/posts, repost them to Lemmy and then edit them to leave some information that will redirect users to your posts in Lemmy. That way good information isn’t lost and you’ll help to slowly drive users towards Lemmy over time.

    I’ve already started moving over to lemmy but I’m also seeing some weird stuff on my Reddit account. I’ve had more ‘Followers’ sign on to my account in the last 2 weeks than I’ve seen in the last 3-4 years. I don’t believe these are real followers. What would be the reason for this? Is Reddit playing some sort of statistics game with long-time Reddit accounts?

      That was started before since end of May. Some bots are pretending to be hot girls living nearby you and to catch your attention are just following you, because if they send a message or start chat they will be banned in a few hours

      They’re spam-bots that will either link you to a NSFW page or try to scam you in some other way

    Should hold off on deleted your account for the time being. Many subs are polling users on which direction to take and I’ve been messaging mods with short comments to move to lemmy.
