3rd Party Apps should add a 'delete user history' function before going offline (lemmy.ml)

I know it's probably too late to add this feature but I think a lot of users like me that relied on RIF and others would like to delete their history so it doesn't add to Reddit's content (not that I added much, but in principle).

I know there are other ways and I'll try to find one but for a lot of people it would be easier to just do it through the app before it's gone.

iOS requires this I I believe.

If you can make an account, the app has to be able to delete that account.

You may be able to delete your account, but that might not delete your post history.

You are absolutely correct 😅

And if enough folks do the "edit your comments" trick, reddit will just know to look for prior revisions when selling the data, unfortunately.

The best middle finger we can all manage is to just stop playing. Delete your account by all means to kill their user numbers, but the real impact will be in not contributing further
