    I think the best thing that protesting redditors can do now (if they haven’t already) is delete all of their content on the platform. Not before backing it up to post on Lemmy, of course.

      Check out PowerDeleteSuite, a Chrome* plugin that can edit/delete posts in a user’s history. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

      Just follow the install instructions on the page and let it rip. You can act on or exempt specific subs, act on age, exempt by status, etc. It will also export deleted and modified comments to a CSV for your own use.

      I nuked my accounts, editing all comments to “This comment has been deleted in protest of the Reddit API changes of June 2023. Consider visiting Lemmy.world or Kbin.social for an alternative news source.”

      I’ll probably go back in on the 29th or 30th and delete everything before closing the accounts.
