So, to shred or not to shred the Reddit account?
So, to shred or not to shred the Reddit account?
After many days i finally received my GDPR data request, which i supplemented further with reddit-user-to-sqlite, so i have a nice full local copy of my account. Now I'm torn on whether to fully shred the data of the account or just delete it:
- On one side, i highly dislike the idea of willingly contributing to a Wisdom of the Ancients scenario, although it might be a moot point anyway since it looks like Spez wants to wall off Reddit after all
- On the other, fuck Spez and i don't wanna contribute a single cent to their profits
- And as an additional point, it's rather unsettling the amount of info you can gather of somebody from their Reddit posts, just from a privacy point of view
What are your opinions on this?
Edit: Just deleted my RemindMeBot reminders, somehow that felt like it had almost the same finality as deleting my account somehow...

"To shreds, you say?"
For me, there's no reason to leave anything useful in that train wreck of a website. No way will I help them cater to advertisers with my own data, now that they made it clear they don't care about anything else.
