A lot of people are boasting here like “well I just deleted my 15+ year account with quintillion karma.”

I’m not going to delete my account yet (but probably won’t be posting anything on Reddit either). Instead, I came up with a Strange Hobby.

Because password managers are so ubiquitous and easy to use and everyone should use one, I somehow found a complete list of all Reddit throwaway accounts I had over the years. (You know, from back when you could create accounts in seconds and Reddit didn’t make you sign a blood pact or whatever.)

So I’ve been deleting those accounts. There was a pile of them.

And I like to every time I delete an account, a little siren goes off in Reddit HQ and Spez is like “Aaaaagggh! Not another one!”

  • Good idea! Also, it’s not always about boasting - putting things into words makes it easier for certain kinds of brain to process them. For some people, the act of leaving snoosite isn’t enough to fully internalise it, they need to say goodbye. Which is fine, btw. :)

    “well I just deleted my 15+ year account with quintillion karma.”

    Your account only had a quintillion karma? My account had a sextillion karma.
