I do not cross picket lines. Later this week, once the protest is officially over, I plan on going on Reddit, backing up my data using the PowerDeleteSuite another user posted about, and then overwriting and deleting my comments and posts with a message about the protest, before closing my account entirely.

Lemmy has already grown a nice community of people, and I'll be glad to contribute and watch it grow over time!

I don't know what kind of comments and posts you've made on Reddit, but if any of them are technical how-to's or something that may come up when people search for specific problems, then it might be good to leave those comments, or else just prefix each comment with your "purged" message instead of overwriting them entirely. I mean if it's fun memes or discussions, then you do you 😅 I'm just thinking of the tale of DenverCoder9. Plus, it probably costs more for Reddit to store a longer comment than a shorter one! Pennies or less, but still!
