    This morning I deleted all my posts, comments, and accounts on the aliensite. 4 accounts total, and over 10 years of data. I hope others will do the same. At least for the sake of the app devs. They deserve better.

      I did the same, 12+ years. I was an Alien Blue user till they bought it and spezzed it up, then I found Apollo and never looked back. I debated waiting, but at this point I just can’t support that platform anymore, even if they do try to backtrack.

      What’s the benefit of deleting ones account(s) vs just letting it become an unused relic? Wouldn’t making them dedicate that fraction of their service space to dead accounts/comments/etc be more of a burden than removing it all for them?

        People visit reddit for user generated content. If you remove all the memes, links, comments, and answers to all the things you google " X site:reddit.com" to find, it loses value.
