It might have been obvious to you, but I really don’t think it was obvious to everyone and I don’t think you should assume that. I saw plenty of talk from people before it happened that were absolutely convinced it would change things.
Comment on Reddit embracing all out enshittification
TORFdot0@lemmy.world 5 months agoIt was obvious that Reddit wasn’t changing course at all. Especially with how they handled communication with Christian Selig and other 3rd party devs.
I came here during the blackout and deleted all my content on my account. The last day Apollo worked was the last day I used Reddit and I was a Reddittor since 3/10/2011
If there was better mod organization we could have better translations for the non tech and piracy related communities but I’m overall happy how we ended up.

i became a reddit user on almost the same day and i think i was slower than you to delete my content because i could no longer access my posts older than a few months when i tried; i always wondered if that was intentional and now i have evidence that it was.

It took me months to delete all my content, as the API tools I was using (power delete suite) can’t access subs that are still dark. It took a bunch of manual deletions, additional scans with the tools and occasional googling of my username but I think I’ve got it all now.
I came to Reddit initially for the human conversation. The fediverse will benefit in that it’s never going to be a commercial product and so the human conversation will be the number one priority. Even as corporate entities like meta try to join, users can just tune them out by blocking threads.net on their account, or switching to instances that have defed from them.
