12 year old account got permabanned for telling a Nazi off. But even before this happened I’ve noticed how much reddit has dropped off the last few years compared to when I discovered it.

    I had a 13 year old account I simply stopped using in 2023 when compact.reddit.com was killed and the API changes fees were introduced. Lemmy was “good enough” get to get what I was getting from reddit. I stopped using reddit and haven’t posted since.

          Your data is still there for Reddit to monetize.

          Overwrite all your old posts with a protest message. Wait a day. Repeat. Wait a week. Repeat. A month, repeat. Then delete shit. Going back to undelete a random post managed in this manner will be too costly for them.

          Downside is that I have yet to find a script that actually catches everything. All the well-known scripts miss a lot, likely on account of their limitations.
