I don’t know man, but I feel like I’m supporting a maniac CEO with every second I spend on reddit.

    I’m currently using Reddit Enhancement Suite to delete 8 years worth of comments and submitted comments. It’s been a walk down memory lane as they all disappear, but it’s a good way experience catharsis on the way out the door as all of my stuff that would have been monetized through google search results go poof… First time I’ve been back since creating my lemmy acct though, and it was more sad than dirty.

      If it makes you feel any better, your comments probably aren’t deleted and are still in reddits database. A lot of companies just set an ‘isDeleted’ flag to true/false. So even though the data doesn’t show up via the API, reddit still has all the data to sell to clients.
