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.
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.
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!

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.

that was a good hint! There seems to be NukeReddit for Edge or a little workaround with Reddit Enhancement Suite and old.reddit
