So it has now been over a month since I last used Reddit, and I’m now looking at deleting my account there.

However before I do so, I have heard of “poisoning” my comments and posts on there using automated tools, or mass deleting everything before actually account deleting.

So my questions are, is mass deleting or poisoning still worthwhile? And does anyone have any recommendations of tools or scripts to facilitate this? It’s not a massive account, but 3121 contributions is still too much to go through manually.

Thanks everyone!

    I guess I just value the small and direct positive impact preserved information can have on the lives of others, and in this case I consider it a bigger gain than what the deletion would bring in the tradeoff. Maybe that’s evil, I don’t know.

    Voting in elections is the exact opposite to that, at least in my eyes, and I always vote in state, local and legislative elections. In fact, I’ve been looking forward to this current election period for years now as maybe the tides are finally turning in Sweden and we can enact some change. Maybe.
