This is my issue with redditors deleting all their content from reddit. I agree with leaving because of the policy changes, but I think that adopting a scorched earth policy, mostly harms other users.
Indeed. I at least think they should repost the helpful information here to Lemmy so that users still have access to it, I understand driving traffic away from Reddit but we should keep that useful information open to the community.
Very often that info is the result of a full conversation:
That means automatation is more complicated, and there's also the legal aspect.
It's still very possible, but it probably stops quite a few people that considered this.
You're absolutely correct. It would need to be done manually and I understand people not wanting to put that effort in, I just feel bad about the information being lost.
