Initially i did not want to purge my account because I found it to be a valuable resource. But seeing this post was the last straw! I don’t want to be part of reddit where it is threatening and trying to silence its own community’s!
PS: First post on Lemmy!
Welcome to the fediverse!
Yep, reddit management sucks.
I used power delete to replace all my comments with loren ipsum. Rumor is spez is undeleting everyone’s posts.
Welcome!
Thank you. I am very sad about the situation though. I was never in memes subs and alike. I was mostly active in r/linuxquestions r/homelab etc.

For me, the worst part of all this crap is how much Reddit Inc. is eager to lie to the users, with a forced smile on face, almost like saying “you’re a bunch of gullible morons, aren’t you?”. That admin reply that you linked is a prime example of that:
Subreddits belong to the community of users who come to them for support and conversation.
Their actions show that the subreddits belong to neither the users, nor the mods: they belong to Reddit Inc.
Is it possible to use one of these tools to delete all of my comments and contributions but not my liked and saved posts? I might want to go through my liked and saved to see if I want to save anything before I delete the whole account. And I don’t want to spend that much time on reddit atm.
Yes. Download redact.dev - I did it over the weekend and took a few hours to remove everything but was super easy.
