I agree. Everyone involved in that whole ordeal sucks.

Ever been to squabbles.io? π I tried to like it, but I can't stand it.
I used PowerDeleteSuite to nuke all my comments and posts. Once you set it, it's all automated. It also has an option to edit all your comments to say you left for lemmy (or whatever you feel like saying if you allow your comments to remain) if you're inclined to do so.
Now this is a comment I can "Chef's Kiss" to.
If your account is still active, I'd suggest PowerDeleteSuite. It worked well for deleting my thousands of comments for me.
Sadly he doesn't care. He's just keeping his eyes on the horizon awaiting all that ipo money so he can cash out.
It's unfortunate you went about it the way you did since they can still monetize off of the entirety of your comment and post history. When you delete your account, all your comments and posts remain. They're just no longer attached to your account name since that is what you deleted.
I was a bit more malicious and did the opposite by keeping my account intact, but gutting everything from within. So now every thread I ever commented in has "user deleted comment" sprinkled all throughout hundreds or thousands of threads.
My account is now a fine metaphor for what reddit has become. Just a hollow facade of what it once was.
Since u/spez seems to want to continue down this road and bar people of experiencing reddit the way they want, I decided to delete all of my post and comment history within my account there.
It's obvious that those of us that want to continue to use 3rd party apps are considered dead weight in his eyes, so I decided that anything and everything I posted is likely of no value to Reddit.
"but there's no users on lemmy"
It's definitely a chicken and the egg situation.
I've been lurking here the past few days when I saw lemmy as a reddit alternative. I decided to sign up today as lurking isn't doing this place any favors. Hopefully more people will sign up, and the momentum will build and continue.
Probably not nearly as much as those guys in the sub. π€
