    Once I got Lemmy working on mobile I just deleted my reddit account straight up, a two day protest was always a stupid move. The only way to get their attention is permanently stopping the use of the platform.

    Unfortunately in order to actually make a dent in anything under capitalism you simply can’t partake of it at all.

      I deleted my Reddit account as well. People deleting 10-year-plus accounts will make a larger statement than a couple of days of silent subs.

      Reddit has control over granting mod access to new people for rebellious subs. It doesn’t have control over my use or non-use of the platform.

        Yep, I’ve had a few different accounts over the years. I tended to delete mine when I hit 100k karma and start over. My last one was barely a year old but whatever, it’s gone now and they know why if they read the “why are you leaving?” Thing.
