Several subreddits are allowing porn and not-safe-for-work content to protest Reddit. In response, the platform has removed entire moderator teams from the affected subreddits.
I really want to cut ties with Reddit. I keep reading this stuff to keep me motivated to cut those ties.
Thats why you edit them first to something in protest. (“I refuse to let u/spez get off on my posts”) and then delete them. Apparently reddit doesn’t keep a history of eddits (unless they changed that now) and they could only revert them back to your provocative comment which they wont.
I nuked all my posts and comments.
Glad that I left the place, it can burn and go to hell for all I care.
On the other hand there’s enough constructive engagement happening here to fulfil my needs.
They are restoring them a few hours later…

I’ve written a python script that is run regularly to 1) edit the comment 2) delete the comment.
The unedited version is restored.
