If you’re considering leaving Reddit, consider also salting the earth on your way out!
Check out PowerDeleteSuite, a plugin that can edit/delete posts in a user’s history. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
Just follow the install instructions on the page and let it rip. You can act on or exempt specific subs, act on age, exempt by status, etc. It will also export deleted and modified comments to a CSV for your own use.
I nuked my accounts, editing most comments to “This comment has been removed in protest of the Reddit API changes of June 2023. Consider visiting https://monero.town for a privacy preserving alternative to Reddit.”
it makes total sense, but I hope it’s clear that it also has a price (loss of publicly accessible knowledge) that both all of us and future generations of Monero users will pay. is there a way to archive all of r/monero and host it somewhere in a searchable form? that would make it more worth it.
Yeah the lost knowledge is very bitter. I hope that by now it’s probably already in some LLM training dataset. I believe you’d have to scrape the data.
