I just ran Power Delete Suite on all of my comments and self posts, stating they have been removed in protest.

On July 1st, I am deleting every comment and post, then closing my account. Reddit was fun while it lasted.

The fediverse is still raw, but I see massive protentional here, and I am ready for this journey with all of you.

    I’ve already started moving over to lemmy but I’m also seeing some weird stuff on my Reddit account. I’ve had more ‘Followers’ sign on to my account in the last 2 weeks than I’ve seen in the last 3-4 years. I don’t believe these are real followers. What would be the reason for this? Is Reddit playing some sort of statistics game with long-time Reddit accounts?

      That was started before since end of May. Some bots are pretending to be hot girls living nearby you and to catch your attention are just following you, because if they send a message or start chat they will be banned in a few hours

      They’re spam-bots that will either link you to a NSFW page or try to scam you in some other way
