When I saw this news yesterday, it made me realize I hadn't used Reddit almost at all since the purge last summer. I ran the PowerDelete tool last night to nuke my profile and then deleted my account this morning. 10 years of posts and comments gone but ill be damned if im going to let those posts stay and train AI to make this douche canoe any more money.

    Do you have any way of verifying that it is actually gone? I bet it's just gone from view but the data is still there.

    Note that the profile only shows the last 1k comments - I did a GDPR request to get my data (took em a few weeks - they have a month the time to do so) and then used that data to find all my comments and replace a whole bunch of comments with GPT-generated bullshit about spez being a poopyhead.

    I won't pick up my shit and move, I'll kill the plants, salt the earth and poison the well. Fuck 'em. It's all for shittificating the site for YEARS.
