Sometimes I think this whole process of deleting content from Reddit in protest hasn’t really worked out for everyone…

    Reddit could try not being such a toxic environment to people and maybe they wouldn’t do stuff like this. In this case given that the comment was from 3 years ago, the reason is most likely not because of the API scandal or AI scrapes or reddit going public, but rather some mod or other user was a persistent grade-A asshole to this poster, or started harassing them, or any of innumerable other possible toxic things, and they decided to just take their ball and go home.

    I too torched all of my comments on reddit when I left, including the informative ones about niche subjects, and I’m not sorry about it.

    I thought about maybe instead of deleting all my comments and posts I could instead replace them with AI rewrites to poison them for other AIs.

        And then, when someone (after years) comes across the post and sees that someone had the same problem, they can’t solve their problem because the comments were deleted. This is ridiculous.
