I’m considering this, as well.
Reddits handling of the charges rollout and dev communication has left a bad taste in my mouth.
I feel like they have fucked about. And I’d like to give them a small slice of “find out”.
I realise it won’t have a huge affect on internet permanence (I know the datahoarders have been going ham on archiving), and I doubt anything I’ve contributed is actually being referenced by anyone.
In the event you or anyone else does decide to wipe, export your saved post and leave Reddit. I did the following;
Used the program “Redact” to delete all my comments and post. This specifically edits the comments to a blank comment first, then deletes its so nothing is left behind.
Went here https://eternity.portals.sh/ to export my saved data into a JSON file. From there imported it into Excel and saved that
Thankfully I didn’t have too many save posts, so I just copied and pasted my favorites into pages documents. If I ever win the lottery, I have the step-by-step guide provided by u/BlakeClass!
I’m just about ready to delete mine.
Went through today and used a program to edit all my comments then delete them, deleted all my post as well.
Once I can figure out how to easily export out all my Saved post then I’m out completely

Nice, thanks for the details.
That was my plan for the weekend: figure out a tangible exit strategy
Great tip to thank you! Will be doing that post haste :-)
