1 main, 1 alt, and a throwaway. 5, 5 and 3 years, with 14K karma between them. I wasn’t a power user, but I wasn’t exactly casual.
I had some great conversations, I had a lot of fun, I met the woman I love on Reddit. But it’s clear that we’re not users to them, we’re just free content to be monetized so Reddit can boost their IPO. That doesn’t interest me.
Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my posts and then delete them. I’ll keep the accounts around until I’m sure u/spez or one of his minions don’t edit them back but I’m done. There’s no going back, only forward.
Feels good.

Did exactly the same with my account yesterday. Good riddance, Reddit.
Nice, I edited all of my posts too a few days ago. I haven’t deleted my account yet because I’m worried that Reddit will go back and undo my edits…
One unexpected side effect is some of my subs disallow calling out usernames directly, and since I said a rude word about u/spez the auto mod nuked my comment anyway. So those won’t be back in any form. Thanks, Reddit!
I have heard so many stories on accounts being restored after using PowerDeleteSuite, what I plan to do is just delete my account so that my various comments cannot be cross-referenced as coming from the same person. I wish I could wipe it and know it would stay wiped- as a European this is within my GDPR rights, but it seems that good old spez plans to ignore GDPR.
I deleted my two year account two or three weeks ago. It was my second account, after a one year hiatus. 2,8K karma. most of it from comments. I posted most frequently on r/ADHD and on r/r4r.
Due to anxiety and rejection sensitive dysphoria, I almost never read any reply or private message after posting a comment on certain subreddits. I guess reddit was not a good site for undiagnosed/untreated ADHD & ASD people.
Things changed a lot since I joined Kbin and since I’m more active on Lemmy. I regret nothing.
