I might get “cancelled” for this, but hear me out:
If you remove your account bad actors won’t be able to identify you unless they put in the effort. Reddit staff will revert popular comments and posts to the way they were before the Blackout. Mass-scrambling your posts and comments with a “f*ck Spez”, followed by a long chain of "A"s or whatever, annoys people who are just trying to find an answer to something on Reddit, and it doesn’t help anybody except the user’s feelings.
The preservation of information comes above some moral feeling.
Your opinion?
My opinion is that you have a dumb take, because Reddit does not give a shit about preserving information, their priority is making money.
Why the fuck would they care about being stewards to knowledge? That’s Wikipedia’s job, not Reddit.
So fuck them, I’m glad I’m making their toxic behavior encouraging cash grab site a shithole with my edited gibberish comments.
