Tested myself. I ran PDS then checked my profile afterwards and everything was gone. I then went to bing and searched site:reddit.com "[USERNAME]" and sure enough, my comments were still there and visible, just not displayed in my profile.
I ran Shreddit last night (the command line tool, not the shitty website). It uses an API key you generate along with your GDPR data export to make sure it gets everything. So far, it looks like it's all gone, but I don't know if Reddit will let it stay gone.
Uh, bud, the whole point is to make Reddit less profitable. This means less valuable, less useful, etc. So, yeah, deleting your entire history absolutely does help the cause.
What a fair an unbiased title this article has. Also wipes away any form of credibility immediately by citing Elon Musk first and foremost. The dude has money, the brains comes from the people he treats like shit in his businesses.
I'm currently trying to run a Sven Co-op server under Ubuntu Server. This has been a five hour chore of trial and error, dealing with library incompatibility, architecture incompatibility, poor documentation and Stack Overflow messes.
Im currently using about twenty tabs of documentation and support requests. At this exact moment, I'm trying to compile a 32 bit version of libssl 1.1.1, at which point I will be able to test again. If it doesn't work this time, I absolutely do not have time to continue trying.
So what's the challenge here? Nothing is simple and nothing is well explained. This is a three-step process on Windows that just works. On Ubuntu, the first step requires you to add a new apt repo and install support libraries, and beyond that, you're on your own to figure out the compat issues further down the line.
Edit: Can't make it work, it's just one thing after another. I'm just gonna do a fresh install of the whole OS, considering how much bs I installed chasing these issues, and then, idk, just not play a game with my brother I guess.
Me: Suffers from severe depression and anxiety as a teen
My family: You're just gonna have to deal with it!
They've since gotten my brother treatment for the exact same thing. Meanwhile, I'm still severely depressed and totally untreated because I can't fucking afford it.
In terms of overall users, probably not. In terms of valuable, knowledgeable and hardworking users? Totally.
Take r/AMA for instance. The place was a gigantic draw for Reddit as a space for trustworthy, verified celebrity interactions. The entirety of that work was done by volunteers who have since left that work behind. As such, the place literally can not function as it was.
Another example I saw much closer is r/piracy. Despite what astroturfing bots and Spez Stans would have you believe, Reddit absolutely wanted that sub opened because of what a huge draw it is. Just looking at what they did is enough to prove that. They removed the top mod, manually un-privated the sub, then removed the next top mod for continuing to protest before installing their own. The place is open now and working "normally." Despite this, there's really no one knowledgeable left over there. I looked recently, and I found a lot of highly-upvoted, really awful advice. Like, some borderline dangerous stuff.
The only thing in a videogame to ever actually make me feel ill is the camera in Star Trek Online. I don't know what the deal is, but more than an hour gives me a horrid headache.

As unlikely as it is, Reddit getting banned from YouTube for harassing Spez would be hilarious.
