I’ve seen a bunch of reddit refugees like me comment here in the fediverse that the have deleted their posts and comments on reddit.
Rather than do that, I propose all rexxitors instead edit all of their posts and comments to say that they are leaving reddit for good to go to the fediverse instead. Such edits should provide links to major Fediverse sites and getting started guides, with advice for other redditors to abandon that place and join us here.
Deleting answers is the best way to show that Reddit runs on its users.
I disagree. Editing the post to be useless to Reddit, but reflect whatever message you want to tell (say, moving to Fediverse) is the best way to “show Reddit”.
You can say more than just going away.
That’s what they’re saying.
They aren’t arguing against leaving an “abandon reddit” message. They’re arguing against leaving the original content alongside that message.
/shrug, no idea - lots of people here are saying “deleting” and meaning “deleting” lol. I advocate using edit terminology when you mean edit, delete when you mean delete. Appreciate the edit-delete clarification
