Reddit can't run without its moderators and it can't monetize without data. I encourage everyone who's defected to Lemmy from Reddit to wipe their old Reddit account using Redact. I just wiped my old account of 15 years worth of comments and post history.
I'm waiting for a couple of days until I'm sure my deleted comments stay deleted. After that, I'll wipe my 6 years old account.
That's how I'm doing it too - overwrite everything, then once I can confirm it hasn't been reverted, purge the account. Fuck the way Reddit treated the mods that made their business possible.
