Yeah personally I’m not a fan and I would rather follow a well-written guide than spend even more time auditing such a script (which would be even more difficult if you’re not experienced with Proxmox). For maintenance’s sake it’s also risky getting your service set up like this as you don’t know how the script set things up and it’s harder to fix things if they go wrong.
9 year creator as well, and I was legitimately sad when I pressed that delete account button. Before running the automated removal scripts I read through each one of my posts and comments and that brought back a lot of interesting memories of a different younger me. I archived what I could and got rid of the rest.
Yes I use third party apps but it’s the whole response from /u/spez and Reddit that really made me call it quits. They’re clearly catering for the Tiktok generation and not users who genuinely want to post original content and build good communities.
