When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy.
Now that it’s starting to die down a little bit, does anyone regret doing that? Or are you glad that you took that step?
I deleted my 12 year post history but my karma is still there.
If you want to browse there… whatever. No one cares.
Those of you hoping for a spectacular collapse… well, I have news for you: it’s unlikely to happen and if it does, it’ll be death by a thousand cuts. I legitimately think that place is going downhill and it’s been getting noticeably shittier for years but I don’t think lemmy is currently more than an annoyance for Spez and the board.
I’m getting my subscriptions set back up and I just want to post in peace and not be concerned about reddit already. What this place lacks in users it makes up for in quality
Meh… For those who regret their decisions (please don’t), a new account can easily be created. Karma is gamification, it is meaningless.
Haven’t deleted mine, but haven’t been back there either. If I deleted it, I wouldn’t miss it. Though at some point I image the account will expire due to inactivity.
Nope. In fact, I’m feeling pretty good about it.
Nope.
If you are, is there any reason why you couldn’t make another?
14 years on the site, 58K+ post Karma, 130K+ comment Karma - Deleted it all yesterday. It was actually liberating in some odd sense.
my account is pretty old. I have had multiple attempts to claim it. So im not deleting it. I will allow it to wither and die not participating.
If they start decomming accounts every x months Ill just add it to my calendar to login here and there like I do a few google accounts.
The trick is to keep getting banned enough times that your profile is meaningless.
I was banned lol
No.
Didn’t delete my account, just overwrote all my comments with a message to corporate Reddit and Spez in particular and deleted my posts. Didn’t want to delete mainly because a deletion can happen for any reason, I rather wanted to send a message that can be seen.
Regrets? Yes, but overall it was worth it.
Not in the least. Haven’t been on Reddit since the protest started!
After I was sent a message threatening to reopen my sub or I would be replaced, I rage overwrote all my comments and posts then deleted my account.
I regretted it for 2 days, mostly because cutting myself off of Reddit after 7 years was quite a shock, but afterwards I was glad I did.
deleted by creator
I don’t regret it. I deleted my account and ensured all my posts were deleted on June the 11th and haven’t looked back since.
Why keep an account on a site that has basically killed majority of 3rd party apps? And for those that survived, why would I pay for them when they are essentially neutered? Meaning I cannot access NSFW content.
I rather be over here on Lemmy and use Liftoff.
