Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Yeah. I'm feeling like doing the same. I did not post much, and what I did, did not gain much traction. But I think it's time to leave that place.
Ya, you know I haven't opened reddit since the blackout started. I removed "slide" from my phones home screen.
It's kinda sad, but I'm rediscovering RSS, now I've found kbin, and Im fine. I think not mindlessly scrolling reddit after my main interests have been covered has been nice for my brain.
Nope, I did the same yesterday without looking back. I feel happy not to use this corporate crap anymore.
Personally, I always deleted and re-created accounts after a year at most. Still have my current but I've hardly used it since migrating.
I am struggling to go and do it myself but this helps seeing someone with 12 years of history. Would love to be able to download the 10,000+ pages of stuff I wrote though to not lose it forever.
I don’t delete my data (posts) because once you google a problem and you realize that a solution that you are looking at is written by you few years back you know you do a good job and you could be saving your future self an headache.
What was the Name of the Tool?
Redact
here's a question, wouldn't it be more impactful to encourage users to redact with a protest statement promoting fedverse first?
assuming they're doing a 30 day backup scheme then this becomes part of their working set going forward. messing with the data in this way especially if we can do it in volume might make it harder for LLMs to extract useful information from our noise.
we then can then start deleting our posts as a second protest after that.
thoughts?
Geez you didn’t save the content beforehand? I would absolutely have found a way to archive that stuff first
Why delete though? Its all still there in Reddit's database.
Over a decade on my account, not sure the actual year. I won't be nuking my account, personally. I'm happy with kbin for now and haven't opened reddit since Monday.
Same here for reddit. I won't remove my account just yet, but have unsubbed from a lot of fluff subs I was a part of.
Once RiF goes away I'll use desktop when needed for searches, but I never actually sit on it at a desktop. I'm hopeful all subs I use will come over, but some may not. Namely homelab and homelabsales.
can anyone recommend an easy tool to do this? I don't want to leave anything behind they can scrape and profit from.
I had this feeling when deleting another social media account. On a good note, it's fleeting. Now most are in the void for me.
