- Hmm. Almost like the company doesn’t genuinely care about the users. - Surely that can’t be it. 
 
- It truly sucks but what did people expect? A polite message? - After how Reddit handled the API changes, the whole thing with Christian (Apollo developer), don’t expect anything politely, good or nice from Reddit CEO. - However, I’m curious as to why Reddit is doing this, though I know they were planning to change the chat system (something to do with ‘legacy chat’). - I expect them to move chat functionality to the official app. Facebook made a similar move many years ago, and I think they did get increased access to users’ phones that way. Reddit might find it a harder sell, given that they have a totally different role in people’s lives, and (much as I hate to imply anything nice about Facebook), a much less usable app. 
 
- Joke’s on them, nobody ever talks to me. 
- What’s the point? Data is cheap to store, and I’d assume they could sell it if they wanted to 
- Yeah I just learned that mine is lost too. Annoying… - If you make a data request you may get it in a month - Mine took two weeks 
 
 
- The jokes on them, I already deleted all my messages and comments before deleting my account. 
- Every day I use Reddit less and move more of this sort of interaction over here. To the extent that I can find communities for my interests, I’m consistently dropping the use of Reddit. It may take some time but I’m no longer a Reddit fan boy.  
- Oh noo they finally removed the hundreds of porn spam bot only fans link from my chat box that I never used.
