Don't delete your Reddit account (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Reddit is actively restoring deleted comments and posts. Deleting your account won't make any useful difference. Instead:

  • Keep the account around but use some tool to delete all comments and posts everyday. I use Redact app on Android but there're many others. Reddit would not be restoring comments and posts if they are not useful to them. By keeping your profile and keep deleting everything, you are denying Reddit any chance from making use of your data.
  • Monitor when subreddit opens poll for re-opening and vote the "best" option.

Eeh. I'm just going to keep deleting it instead.

For me it is the message more than anythin because otherise they'll just whine 'you'll be back.'

Posts like this are just black pilling.

The post is saying that if you delete your account, you lose any control if they restore your posts/comments. There is no "keep deleting" your account, cause that's not what they're potentially restoring.
