  • It’s unfortunate you went about it the way you did since they can still monetize off of the entirety of your comment and post history. When you delete your account, all your comments and posts remain. They’re just no longer attached to your account name since that is what you deleted.

    I was a bit more malicious and did the opposite by keeping my account intact, but gutting everything from within. So now every thread I ever commented in has “user deleted comment” sprinkled all throughout hundreds or thousands of threads.

    My account is now a fine metaphor for what reddit has become. Just a hollow facade of what it once was.

    I did the same. I checked out the official reddit app, and it’s a steaming pile of garbage compared to Apollo on Android or Relay on IOS. Much like you, those 3rd party apps are reddit in my eyes. The official app is attempting to morph reddit into something other than what it used to be and always was in my eyes.

    That being said, I’ve been on Lemmy far more than I’ve been on reddit today, and I intend to continue that trend if the powers that be at Reddit Corp. proceed with their poorly veiled attempt to shut down 3rd party apps.
