Reddit is removing the ability to opt out of ad personalization based on Reddit activity and adding ability to restrict certain types of ads.

If you wanna keep your bookmarks and the subreddits (communities) that you’re subscribed to before deleting your account, I made a free tool to help you store and offload that data.

It’s called Reddit Account Manager, and it’s 100% free.

You can also use it to manage your Lemmy account(s), of course.

Why do you require my email?

Can’t you just put it on GitHub or something?

I would if I could, but I built it without writing code. So there’s nothing to upload to GitHub/GitLab.

The page asking for your email simply serves as the delivery mechanism since I can’t put it on GitHub/GitLab.

Create a post

This is the official technology community of Lemmy.ml for all news related to creation and use of technology, and to facilitate civil, meaningful discussion around it.


Ask in DM before posting product reviews or ads. All such posts otherwise are subject to removal.


Rules:

1: All Lemmy rules apply

2: Do not post low effort posts

3: NEVER post naziped*gore stuff

4: Always post article URLs or their archived version URLs as sources, NOT screenshots. Help the blind users.

5: personal rants of Big Tech CEOs like Elon Musk are unwelcome (does not include posts about their companies affecting wide range of people)

6: no advertisement posts unless verified as legitimate and non-exploitative/non-consumerist

7: crypto related posts, unless essential, are disallowed
