I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

Hi. I made it.

Just deleted my 13-year-old account. I'm fucking pissed how much effort I put into that fucking place. The hardest thing was overwriting my content so they don't grt to keep my work. It's done, fuck that place.

manually or with a script? i just saved a local copy of my post/comment history for my own archive, but i want to replace all my comments with a short "i quit for [reasons]". 17 year old account... there are a lot of comments to swap out. I'm afraid of i script it, it's going to trigger something and they'll lock my account before i can complete the edits.

The comments went in the same way they came out, by hand. Took me most of the day yesterday, but in the end it was worth it. After I deleted everything though I still found some instances of posts still lingering but you can't control it.
