It was a fun run but sadly Reddit Admins have the only thing that matters now.. power. They will ban everyone in their way and replace them with some puppet or someone who doesn't care about the api fiasco. Most of them will cave in. They have no choice, because they don't hold any real power to attempt a coup. You know who should quit? Users. But they obviously don't care about the cause enough. Imagine if everyone quit for a month ..
Imagine if everyone used something like https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite to edit, then delete, their comments first?
Then ran it a few more times across a week or so, changing the edit message each time?
Sorry if I'm being dense, but what would be the point of that?
The value of reddit is in the content posted, and discussed, by the users. Help requested and given in the form if user posts/replies.
If you edit and delete your content then reddit losses value. Edit to ensure that the backup doesn’t contain the old content, delete to remove it.
Do it a few times just to make sure.
