Probably a good thing for Kbin as lots of Redditors will come to this site as a replacement, myself included (though I'm currently just trying it out).

Just deleted my Reddit account of 12 years. What a pompous loser. Here to stay.

I don't really want to delete my history, so I'm editing all my top comments to include:
>Edit 2023/06/10: Leaving Reddit due to /u/spez doubling down on API changes. Will keep post history for future visitors.
I doubt Reddit didn't make backups of their databases anyways so this will let more people know what's going on.
You know you can download your data before you delete it, right?
The problem is other people can't find that data.
If Reddit doesn't back down, I will likelky be shutting down my subreddit. But I'll put it in read-only mode rather than killing it entirely, because there is useful information there and I don't want to contribute to link rot.
Doesn't Reddit deserve link rot at this point? And contrariwise, does Reddit deserve to capitalize on your work and the work of the members of your subreddit?
I wonder what your members might say if you put it to them?

I'm all for users migrating here but there's so much vitriol from these users which I don't think benefits a platform like this. I for one would like to see people leave their hate for Reddit at the door and not use this as a haven for their rage.
