A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Some of the planned blackouts will be temporary, others plan to shut their subreddits down indefinitely in protest.

Reddit has shown their cards and in my opinion even if they walk back these changes the writing has been on the wall for a while that they are looking to change the site in ways that people who prefer old Reddit will likely not prefer. It would be better to move on

Yeah, I already pulled the trigger on deleting my account. I've no interest in staying there with what they're doing, and like you said, even if they roll back on it I'm done. They've shown time and again they give zero shits about the user base, and I for one am sick of it.

The exact same thing here. Ran a script while I still could use the API to also delete all of my comments and post after editing them. I'm leaving nothing behind as much as possible. In my reason for leaving text, I stated that even if the decision is reversed or adjusted, I can no longer trust Reddit to make good decisions.

Which script? The first monkey grease script I tried failed.

Power Delete Suite. It's a JavaScript bookmarklet.
