Just deleted my 12+ year account on Reddit and I'm still feeling weird.

Was a long time lurker. My grand total of upvotes reached 4K!

I used Redact to remove my comments; there were so few posts I could delete them on my own.

Experiencing those feelings of 'oh, this is a toxic relationship; but I really don't want to leave because there's this groove and so much history'

That's it. It is HISTORY.

and now I'm out

Jeez guys, stop deleting your account until you are SURE reddit stopped restoring your content. Every week I check and see some comments and posts of mine being restored. I take screenshots for proof and report them under GDPR law. If you erase your account, you have no more power.

Erase your content, not your account.

In no way do I have power at reddit. I was a long time lurker, maxed out at 4K karma/internet points, and none of my posts/comments got more than a few hundred votes. I was/am on no one's radar.

I have my GDPR report.

On reddit over the past few weeks, I edited my posts to garbage text. Then, after learning about Redact, I deleted all of my comments and posts. After a few more days, I deleted my account.

Reddit, as I knew and loved it, is dead.
