    I don’t really want to delete my history, so I’m editing all my top comments to include:

    >Edit 2023/06/10: Leaving Reddit due to /u/spez doubling down on API changes. Will keep post history for future visitors.

    I doubt Reddit didn’t make backups of their databases anyways so this will let more people know what’s going on.

      I get it, but leaving your data intact still drives traffic to the site. I hate that I’ll be wiping my account, but I’m not about to let reddit continue profiting off me while they’re so clearly uncaring of what the users want and care about.

      You do you, but they don’t deserve your comments, your takes, any of it.

        The problem is other people can’t find that data.

        If Reddit doesn’t back down, I will likelky be shutting down my subreddit. But I’ll put it in read-only mode rather than killing it entirely, because there is useful information there and I don’t want to contribute to link rot.

          Doesn’t Reddit deserve link rot at this point? And contrariwise, does Reddit deserve to capitalize on your work and the work of the members of your subreddit?

          I wonder what your members might say if you put it to them?

            Reddit does, but my fellow netizens do not. I’ve experienced way too much frustration running into dead links and deleted posts when hunting down old obscure information to willingly put that burden on others.
