Has anyone thought about changing all their previous posts and comments to something like, “This has been deleted in protest of Reddit’s privacy policy. Please use lemmy.world instead”? Will I get banned from Reddit (not by mods) if I gradually change my previous posts?

    Maybe if you mention Lemmy it’ll get banned but I used a service to overwrite all my account’s posts at once and the account is still active, albeit unused.

      This.

      I did the same. Replaced all my comments with junk. Got banned from one sub because of this (something along the lines of ‘your comment is nonsense, we don’t allow this on our sub’) but who cares - the account is still there but inactive.

      It was a browser extension, if I remember correctly, which clicks through your comments one by one and changes them.

      Over 7 years of comments deleted. And I’m happy I did it. Suck on that, Gemini.
