The protests worked, and so did moving/editing/deleting our old content. As one person complains,

I'm not here for Reddit, but for the aggregation of niche communities. I follow a lot of obscure manga that have relatively small followings and recently I got into an IT job which opened a lot of technological exploration for me. The worst part about this change isn't even that we are losing 3rd party apps, but that only members of the communities I frequent are the ones who care enough to protest. Can't tell you how many times now I've looked something up on Reddit and find an answer to the issue I have, only to realize that the community is closed or the post is deleted in protest. Now we are stuck in this limbo where protests seem to have lost their steam, niche communities are being overthrown and killed because of that greedy little pigboy. Seriously, fuck spez.

Okay as an IT professional I will just say Reddit should not be your first stop for information. You should have a really solid foundation of knowledge. I think everyone does use places like Reddit, or Stackoverflow for certain issues or to add context. However your first stop for technical exploration should be documentation and white papers. There is no way to know if any of that stuff posted to reddit or stack overflow is even right.

What was that tool that let you delete all your account posts and comments again?
