I scrubbed and deleted my account. I’m done. They will have to make major changes in their trajectory for me to consider making a new account. It’s even less about the API changes than the way that they treated Christian Selig, a CEO throwing an indie dev in the mud like he did is disgusting and doesn’t give me hope for the site improving for anyone other than investors and advertisers.

This actually makes me sad. Over the year Reddit became a treasure trove of great and diverse information and thinking it could just disappear like that makes me so sad.

A large amount of it (I think they were going for all) has been saved by /r/datahoarder. So I wouldn't worry about it disappearing. It'll likely end up on archive.org at some point.

Yeah, sites like Reddit (or Youtube) makes me believe there is still hope in (knowledgeable) social media. But the situation right now in Reddit is purely chaotic.

Is there a good way to scrub automatically? My account is almost 10 years and it seems like a good time to end. I did it with MySpace, Tumbler and Facebook before and I never looked back.

I used [shreddit](https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit) in an endless bash loop until it had overwritten and removed everything.
