Delete early, delete often. Never keep an old Reddit account around. I torch mine and build anew every year just out of principle.

- 8372049 2y agoSame! Except I've basically stopped using reddit. It used to be that if I got a "happy cake day" then I knew nuking the account was overdue.
- al_borland 2y agoI didn’t have a schedule, but probably had 5 or 6 accounts over the years… purging, deleting, and a few weeks later rejoining. The last time I deleted everything was before the API changes, and it was the last straw. I haven’t attempted to create a new account and don’t browse at all. I used to spend hours per day there. Now the only time I end up there is if a search engine directs me there for an answer to a specific question I have.
- hughesjj 2y agoFor me it's been every six months. I've even given some creds for burned accounts to the void for the heck of it. That said, I think you could easily correlate my hn activity with my reddit usage (inverse proportionality). Loving it tbh, higher quality content overall and better than slashdot ever was
- EMM_386 2y agoI honestly have given up in this battle. I'm curious, what do you think deleting accounts and starting new is going to do? They'll just link it all together another way.
