Seems like a good portion of the activity in the communities is reddit oriented. If the goal is leaving/hurting reddit, it seems we should be continuing on like it doesn’t exist, instead of continuing to drive interest to the site. Thoughts?

    I’m waiting to delete on June 30th, hoping other will do the same and it will make at least a ripple

      Don’t put off deleting your past comments too long, without the API you can only delete the 1000 most recent comments.

      That said, when I tried to use Redact yesterday it was obvious reddit has some shenanigans going on - it would drop authenticated status on the first attempt to delete a message via the API.

      So it’s perhaps already too late.

          That’s when the API changes go into effect iirc, but I may delete my account earlier. Edit: Deleted today, screw Reddit.

              I was just debating it yesterday and I was like “well, not gonna use this app anymore anyway so screw it, might as well delete my account now instead of waiting.”
