Reddit abandons user privacy - Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

I left a couple of months ago. Couldn't be happier.

The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

I still had my Reddit account just for posteroties sake. I don't anymore now. I refuse to accept changes or rules that allow for them to steal all my data. I've not gotten to this point with Google or Microsoft yet, but they're not far off the chopping block.

But there is a second option, the one I plan to do with this current Reddit account and my Facebook account.

Dont delete, dont say you will delete. Just stop using. When its out of sight, it becomes out of mind. Maby deactivate Facebook account at most but I think it will be okay if it just stays there

BTW, because I use third party apps all my wall posts got turned NSFW even though none of them are. I wonder if it is indeed the end of time.
