Before I left Reddit, I used a plugin through the api to replace all of my comments with random gibberish and then delete them. Part of this was because (mandatory) fuck spez. But more importantly, it was to protect the anonymity of my account. After years of posting, there is likely enough personal information shared to potentially connect my Reddit habits to my online identity. I wasn’t planning on using Reddit again in the future on that account, but I left it open in order to maintain some security control over the account. I’m not really sure what to do at this point because I still consider it a security vector that’s a bit concerning. There’s no way I can manually edit and delete all of my content with the snail’s-pace reddit UI, and I have no ability to assure that my content will remain unavailable or at least not publicly displayed.

    Just checked. Mine still say this:

    Comment redacted in protest against Reddit’s deranged attacks against third party apps, the community, and common sense.

    See ya’ll in Lemmy or Kbin once this embarrassment of a site is done enshittifying itself out of existence.

    Monetize this, u/spez, you greedy little pigboy. 🖕

    (I edited them manually, though, so maybe it’s that…)
