If you're in Europe it's very easy. A GDPR request is supposed to give you everything you want (and don't want) from your account. Chats, comments, posts, ... everything.
If you're not in europe... phew. I don't know. But i'm sure there's a script on GitHub. Can't search GitHub right now, it's blocked in the office network :( (for good reason..)
A major issue in my opinion is cloudflare. It's horrible...
Jup. Deleted all my posts, guides and comments yesterday.
I think it's somewhat dramatic for the "future" since so much of reddit is absolutley great knowledge. I can't count how many times a reddit post or comment has helped me solve all kinds of weird problems...
I'm in the EU so I did a GDPR data request before deleting and essentially have a backup of all my own content. I'll filter through it and put on Lemmy or my blog what I think is worth keeping.
βand then I decided I was a lemon for a couple of weeks. I kept myself amused all that time jumping in and out of a gin and tonicβ
I agree fully, but I want to add that I would not suggest a freerange VPN.
Nothing is free on a free VPN - you pay with your data. It's always a question of trust using any type of VPN, but a free VPN is 100% going to sell collected information to ... whom ever.
Anything else. Yes. Save everything, leech everything. I hate streaming music... it makes no sense to me. A movie I watch once ... mh. maybe. Anything else. Load it. Save it. Hoard it.
