I poked my head in this morning after staying away a couple of days. I’ve been on the fence about whether this event spells the end of my time on Reddit or not. I think it does. The comments like OP shows in his meme, combined with the behavior of Spez since the blackouts - that’s just not something I want to be a part of. I don’t want to contribute in the smallest way to the continued dominance of Reddit in that category of social media platform.
I’ll mull it over another few days, but pretty sure my main account is getting deleted this week. I have a secondary account that I might just stop using, but (due to what I use it for) am not quite sure I want to delete yet.
Probably means I need a new kbin account too, since I din’t really consider whether “runningfrommreddit” was a name I’d want to potentially use for years when I set it up. 😁
My only issue is how many posts/comments I’ve saved on my account over the years. Also how often I searched for product recommendations on there which date back years
Think I’m planning to keep my account, maybe use the script to edit all my comments, and then just view it accountless every now and then
I ended up going thru all of my saved posts before the protests started. Saved things to text documents, subscribing to youtube videos I had saved, saved images and external links.

i think runningfromreddit is a cool name :)
Yeah but in 10 years it would be a nice conversation starter.
