TamperMonkey browser add-on with RedditHistorySanitizer userscript (https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/23605-reddit-history-sanitizer/code). It’s kinda slow, but much faster than doing it manually!

Unfortunately, there are useless bags of air all over. People tell me the same things and all I ever do is try to provoke meaningful conversations…

I deleted 9 years worth of user content, across 5 different reddit accounts. Followed by CCPA “Delete My Data” demands, on each account.

It’s almost as if, a large majority of reddit users are spineless, or consider their useless internet clout points more valuable than a small sense of morality…

A temporary blackout is not a protest compared to this method.

We all have the power to curate our own online spaces by using common features like blocking and reporting. Moderation on smaller platforms would certainly be rough though, depending on the amount of users or abusers said platforms happens to attract.

what I need is an easier way to tell the two groups apart

People tend to surround themselves with others who are like minded… Shielding themselves from opposition… This creation of echo chambers has very negative effects… Confirmation bias, limiting your understanding, stagnation of your ideas, and an increasing polarization surround the issues at hand. Seeking validation and interaction from people who disagree with our views promotes intellectual growth, critical thinking, and empathy.

It doesn’t matter how good or bad someone’s ideas are if you only have people telling you your ideas are great…

It is crucial to recognize that merely receiving praise and agreement from others, regardless of the quality of our ideas, does not lead to genuine progress or personal development. Acceptance of our views by others should not be expected if we are unwilling to embrace alternative viewpoints ourselves. As we as a society empathize more with marginalized communities, it becomes even more vital to create spaces that encourage open dialogue, understanding, and respect for diverse opinions.

Indeed, free speech has it’s limitations. But, I implore you to engage with these people you try to shield yourself from… Destroy their arguments with logic. Downvoting them or having them banned does nothing to encourage intellectual growth from either side of the argument.

More often then not, there’s nothing stopping them from coming back with a new account…
