Please remember that this was exactly the behaviour promoted on Lemmy when the API drama ensued that drove many users with third party apps away from Reddit.

Not really for the comment in the picture, that one is too old, but many users here tried nuking all their comments with various methods. Some got reversed back by Reddit, others remain deleted.

Most of that knowledge was only deleted but not saved in any other way, which is why I have always been negative about this approach.

    Fuck reddit. They don't deserve to have access to our knowledge.

    Could've archived it somewhere else first

    Yes, exactly. Hardly anyone, if even a single person, tried to make any kind of process for that. But scripts to mass-delete all their account comments or mass-edit them to gibberish popped up like mushrooms.

    I don't mind people deleting but you should only do it if you can preserve the content somewhere else.

    Absolutely. Spez made himself a multimillionaire by selling my comments to train AI, he can get fucked.

    If you haven't deleted your reddit comments and posts, you should.
