Deleted my 12 year old, 43334 Karma, reddit account
I feel free !
Thanks to Power Delete Suite.
I actually run cupoftea.social on mastodon so I was already very familiar with the fediverse. The more platforms for it the better.

Ohhh lovely, I joined cupoftea.social back when Elon took over Twitter. Welcome!

I just deleted mine as well after not using Reddit for more than a total of about a half hour in the past week. Didn't feel a thing, either. My phone's battery life has improved drastically and so has my mental health. It's actually to the point where I'm not sure if I even care to be here or any other Reddit alternatives. I understand they're all growing but none of it feels the same, and is it really all so bad to not feel the need to be on social media every waking hour?

And 37 points on here already. Just 43297 to go
!remindme 12 years-
How do you get points?
-
Right now it's the if you get any boosts and not the upvote button. I heard they were going to switch it at some point though I could be wrong

How will these tools (power delete, shreddit, redact.dev etc) behave after July 1st? Will users still be able to nuke their content or do they need to hurry tfu before the fatidic date?

Not sure about the others, but Power Delete Suite will still work. It runs locally in your browser in the user's preexisting auth context. To reddit, it's not going to look any different than someone manually editing/deleting their posts through a browser, except the rate at which those actions are performed.
It's open source, you can see exactly what it does and how it works.

I won't delete my account immediately. I am concerned they will reinstate all comments in a month or so. Want to make sure they are not comming back before i delete my account.
-
Same here. Ran a script to edit and delete all my comments yesterday. At least cleared out the 1,000 that Reddit saves in your comment history. I’m not deleting my account yet in case they decide to mysteriously restore my comments.
-
I did the same with two accounts I have with over 100k comment karma each. Didn't delete the accounts (yet), but might as well have.

I can feel the heat death of the tech bro universe in my soul and it is nourishing. Let the great separation of social media ensue. Leave the corporations to mingle and advertise eachother... and let us go be us without algorithm and financial motivation. I like it. I like it a lot.
-
It's like when they used to actually break up monopolies.

-
Congratulations! I thought I would miss reddit, but I sure don't! Welcome to a nice place!
-
Agreed. The fediverse feels cozier and requires less of my time than Reddit
-
-
why do people care about karma so much tho?
-
I'll go against the "it doesn't matter" grain and give you a real answer: It just feels good to know people like having you around and appreciate your contributions. I could look at my karma total and know that in the 12 years I used reddit, an average of ~27 people per day, every day, appreciated the fact that I was there. Even if it took almost nothing for them to show it, it was nice to be reminded that I connected with that many people in a positive way.
