kinda disagree, reddit is going to monetize the hell out of anything that's left over after everyone leaves

better to delete everything asap

The data should be scraped and on Archive.org. I copied my posts and references, to share here.

Reddit will get my CCPA delete notice. Reddit is a failed experiment just like GeoCities, Yahoo, MySpace, Windows, Facebook, and Google. I don't want or need them. The data I shared on these platforms is irrelevant because I am here. Ask away. I am the value, not them.

I initially agreed with you. I'd hate to see all of that communal knowledge lost.

Reading the other replies, I am not so sure. Do they deserve to continue capitalizing on other peoples knowledge? Yes and No. They did supply a service without which that collection would have had to be assembled somewhere else. But I don't think they should be able to capitalize on it forever.

With the archive team and their efforts, I am less worried about "Wisdom of the Ancients" situation.

Nah, reddit doesn't deserve that traffic.

Fuck Reddit, nuke it all!

All those in EU can ask reddit for the entirety of your data as a GDPR request, much easier than downloading it yourself, especially since some apps have limits to how many posts they can fetch.

My account will remain, as I reminisce on my posts from time to time.

I'm torn on this and haven't decided what to do. At the very least they will not be getting my knowledge posted over there any longer.

Don't worry, Reddit are restoring comments and posts anyway.

I don’t care about Reddit; they are just going to profit from our data. Delete your posts if you want to. The collective knowledge/wisdom is within the community and if we all move to Lemmy, that knowledge comes with us.
