Some of Reddit’s most popular communities have posted open letters to the company with a series of requests regarding many key issues at the heart of the recent protests on the platform. They want a response by June 29th.

Bad idea, this looks like Stockholm syndrome to me.

Reddit has already shown they will screw everyone over, and no amount of blowback so far has gotten them to change course.

Leave (and optionally try to give Reddit as much hell as possible on the way out). That's the only answer now.

I don't think there is any redemption either, even if u/spez is removed. He's not the first bad head of the company, if anything the company has never had any good heads.

I made a script that changes all my old comments to gibberish, but I haven't used it yet. I can't decide if it's a good idea or not. I'm not saying that my old comments are extremely useful, but I wouldn't want to prevent people from reading or having context or any help I've given.

They will simply roll your edits back.

Dont give them the clicks

Just move on

Maybe delete your account

All deleting your account does is remove your username from your comments while also removing your ability to delete or edit said comments. It makes more sense to keep it active so you have more control over your data.

Yeah, reddit is restoring bulk edits made using the api but you can still go to your user profile, sort by top scoring comments, and manually change your top 10-20 comments

And gives you a reason to stop visiting the site.

The data stopped belonging to you as soon as you posted it*
