Proudly did so months ago and switched to using Reddit solely through libreddit. Reddit is making it easier and easier to want to completely avoid their platform.
I wonder if (and when) libreddit ceases to work.
one instance i used for a while already shut down 😥

In the Libreddit Matrix chat I’ve seen them talk about the GraphQL API as well as webscraping, but there are problems/potential problems with both. But I think because libreddit doesn’t do anything with user accounts there is at least a better chance of it surviving, at least after the initial changes.
Web scraping is the least reliable way to get website data, sadly.
well done! - i haven’t done it yet. I wonder if there is a way during the deletion process to delete all my contributions?
Wish I could say, but I just manually deleted all of mine. Luckily I never contributed all that much.
There used to be a browser extension that would overwrite all your comments with a null value and then delete them. No idea if it’s still running though and I forget what it’s called so not much help!
that was a good hint! There seems to be NukeReddit for Edge or a little workaround with Reddit Enhancement Suite and old.reddit
