God what a mess. If anyone else is interested I made a browser extension you can use to batch delete your Reddit posts and comments: https://chrome.google.com/

Let me know how it works for you if you try it! Still fixing bugs.

I really hope not a lot of people does that. Looking for knowledge or guides i don’t want to be stuck with the worst part of the internet as what blogs have become. There’s a reason all of us are using site:reddit.com.

  Yeah, that's totally reasonable. I guess it comes down to personal choice. Do people want to leave their content / writing with a company that doesn't have their interests in mind? There was more discussion about this exact issue in the thread about Shreddit from the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36257981 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36257981

  Unfortunately, the alternative is to let Reddit continue to profit off content contributed by users who Reddit has now decided to spurn. A lot of people are using Reddit's data request form to get a copy of their own content before deleting it. Maybe somebody could set up a site where users can send in their personal backups, and they can be combined into a sort of 'shadow Reddit'.

Could you make it edit them to an AES256 encryption of itself? That way it's reversible Much better way to protest I feel like

  Hm interesting point! I feel like for a broad audience having to manage your encryption key wouldn't be a good UX, but maybe for more advanced users!

    Maybe you can derive the encryption key from a password. Most users should be able to handle that.

    I imagined just a password field that the user needs to remember AES is symmetrical
