Simple question: Will you go back to Reddit and other centralized social media platforms, if Reddit step back from the API changes? The benefits of Reddit are obvisiouly, it has million of users and even small communitys have thousands of users.
For me it’s pretty clear, after deleting my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Discord accounts, the decentraliced Fediverse is my future in social media. Even with an very much smaller community, i’m not willing to be treated as ad-cow for the big corps.
But what do you think about your future in social media? Fediverse or Reddit, Meta, Google and all the others? Or will you go safe and use both, to have an backup option?

Are you sure you’ve overwritten all your comments? I’ve found reddit doesn’t display all of them on your account page, which means the autodelete programs can’t see all your comments to delete them. I found a bunch of comments more than 3 months old with 50 karma or less that hadn’t been deleted, even after running Power Delete Suite several times.
I think the answer is to use the GDPR request CSV files, which includes links for every comment, however I don’t know if anyone has made a script to do that.
