Hi, I needed to leave multiple subreddits but it was a hassle doing so manually one by one. So, I built ‘Beleave’ to help automate the task. It uses Reddit’s API to mass leave subreddits. It’s completely free. I didn’t even put ads in it.

    Just fucking delete your Reddit accounts, what is the issue here?? They do not deserve your ad dollars, walk away. The Internet is not this important. Fuck any website that behaves this way, just stop using it. There’s literally billions of sites out there.

      Because I prefer having my comments written over multiple times (to prevent rolling back) advertising Lemmy, Fedia, Kbin, etc.

      Why delete my account when I can have it be a billboard for here?

            Even deleting them individually might not be enough at this point (they might be restored from backups).

          Huh. Well, there is one other reason as well:

          They have apparently revived deleted accounts and puppeted them/gave them away (which honestly just waiting for that shit to happen in EU by accident and them getting sued to hell and back for it), so this way I can keep control

          Thanks for that info though. Shame people are downvoting you for sharing that

      Not everyone can wants to, and so not everyone will.

      I’m not hating on a tool that might help some people drop the subreddits they no longer care for. People will have different paths for how they improve their digital lives

        Yes actually everyone can delete their account. They may not want to but they can. Great that this guy made a tool to leave multiple subs but still it’s not impossible to stop supporting shit companies. For every sub out there there is a site serving the same interest. This isn’t a matter of life or death, it it’s like saying you can’t leave Netflix because it has shows you like.

          I fixed it, but the point still stands.

          For some people, dropping subreddits slowly is how they get out of the daily habit and eventually move somewhere better.

      Leaving subs shows up as reduced subscribers.

      It isn’t much, but it still makes the point that they’re driving people away visible
