> there's no benefit to the user to have an old account

I used to think so until I decided to reroll my old account into a new one, and it was such a pain re-subscribing to all my subreddits again.



Just create a mutlireddit of your subscriptions by going on https://old.reddit.com/subreddits/ and clicking 'multireddit of your subscriptions' on the right. Bookmark that link and voila, you have a backup of your subreddits for your new account.


That seems like a solvable thing with a 3rd party app/script.

I reroll every time I am banned from a sub I like because that sub notices I play in other subs - that whole “thing” is horseshit to me. So I just reroll to get around that autoban bot.


Do you happen to have a script for this? If so, I’d love to have it as it’s about time I reroll too.


No, but I have thought about trying to make one. Hrm.


See, I don’t mind this process.

It gives you a chance to re-evaluate what is actually giving you value. It’s like spring cleaning.

It’s the same reason I enjoy setting up a new or freshly reformatted phone or laptop. Feels good to clean out the cobwebs.
