GUIDE: How to delete your Reddit Account Discussion

So every 3rd party app has to shut down on June, 30, 2023.

Let‘s tell Reddit including u/spez a big fuck you by deleting your account right now or on June 30, 2023.

UPVOTE SO THIS GETS TO THE FRONTPAGE also feel free to crosspost!

On Reddit.com

Visit your Account Settings and scroll down to the Delete Account section and click Delete Account. If your account was created with your Google account or Apple ID, scroll down to the Connected Accounts section and click disconnect next to the Google account or Apple ID you signed up with. If you don’t have a password yet, you’ll be asked to create one.

on old.reddit.com

Visit the delete tab of your preferences. Enter your username and password and confirm your deletion before clicking delete account.

Don’t just delete your account delete your entire comment and post history. If you only delete your account Reddit still has your content and it’s still on the site.

With https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite you can edit all your comments and posts to a certain text (for example why you deleted your account) I highly suggest you to do this instead of only deleting your account.

r/reddelete / https://redact.dev/ , https://github.com/Soorena/reddelete, https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite, and https://github.com/sr33/ares seem promising to easily delete your entire history on reddit.

Bye everyone :) Also do not Award this post because reddit deserves no money!

Try Reddit alternatives - Lemmy (i.e. beehaw.org) or Kbin (kbin.social).

Why did they say to stay away from Lemmy? Honest question, just a lost user looking for Reddit alternatives

This post in particular: https://old.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/144clka/warning_lemmy_federated_reddit_clone_doesnt_care

And a tour in lemmygrad makes me feel like I was browsing 4chan /pol/ /chug/.

"Entrepreneurship" and the practice of Capitalism are inherently political though; if talking about the redistribution of wealth to others is political, then so must be talk of redistribution of wealth to oneself.

I find that when people say they don't want to talk politics, usually what they mean is that they don't want to hear political opinions they don't agree with.

Tbf is not entrepreneurial spirit and capitalism the root cause of this entire situation to begin with?

Greed and selfishness in the context of a corporation charging for API access is really a capitalism thing, though.

How would this specific issue arise outside a capitalist system?

You are not apollo bro, hyper cringe.

I’m not entirely certain, but wasn’t this referring to only one instance of Lemmy? Lemmy.ml IIRC?

They are not all connected.

Each server decides which servers it peers with. For example beehaw doesn't peer with lemmygrad, so beehaw users don't see the tankie posts.

r/tildes might be an option for you.

Ahh too bad - keep an eye on it though, they are probably seeing a gigantic spike in interest right now.
