I didn’t want to leave any of my content behind, because deleting your account still leaves all your content up. That took a while because I had to fix some bugs in an OSS tool so I wouldn’t need to delete tens of thousands of posts and comments by hand. The script took days to run with a 2s rate limit.
IMO, it’s pretty creepy that they try to keep your content when you request a GDPR deletion. That stuff could contain pii and they should be required to delete it, too.
I haven’t been back since. No Apollo is as good as no Reddit, as far as I’m concerned.
