And now people are doing GDPR requests. Literally takes 3 seconds. Might as well!
Will edit with the direct link in a second. It's also a comment in the above thread.
Edit: direct link for GDPR is here: https://lemm.ee/comment/402687
I've been weening myself off RIF and onto kbin. Once it's gone so am I.
Haven't opened RIF since the 12th using only Kbin since. Don't miss it. Fuck spez.
Well, since we are here on Lemmy, it feels like that good damage is already done on Reddit side.
If the injury is a fatal one, only time and the engagement on the alternatives will tell.
Just wiped all my comments a couple hours ago with the help of PowerDeleteSuite. Didn't quite take the first time, and was surprised that it was a clean sweep the second time. From what I've read, I shouldn't have expected that degree of success.
Even so, I'll check back periodically to see whether they've been 'restored'.
I'll not contribute to that site any longer. I might still pop on over once in a while, eg, if a web search leads me there. But I'll be sure to have my adblockers/anti-trackers engaged.

Works great, but you have to baby sit it was it'll occasionally display an error, and you have to click a button...
I'm enjoying the extra free time I've reclaimed from reducing my Reddit usage. Been investing it into little side projects and also fixing up little UI/UX issues on sites like kbin.social
I was hoping to get free time back by ditching reddit, but now I'm spending a lot more time in the fediverse, mostly here and Calckey. At least the content and vibes are better here.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
