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?
You must log in or # to comment.
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.
No.
Removed by mod
Nope.
If you are, is there any reason why you couldn’t make another?
Haven’t deleted mine, but I was mostly a lurker there anyways. So if I do, it wouldn’t mean much. Maybe I’ll interact more here, since many are saying the community is better.
Nope. In fact, I’m feeling pretty good about it.
The trick is to keep getting banned enough times that your profile is meaningless.
Nope. The content and community on the fediverse is so much better, and has improved immensely in the last couple weeks. It’s almost like the Eternal September never happened.
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.
It’s probably the healthiest decision I’ve made all year.
I don’t understand why people are voluntarily deleting their accounts instead of removing or editing their comments and then getting banned. It’s not like reddit has earned a silent exodus.
14 years on the site, 58K+ post Karma, 130K+ comment Karma - Deleted it all yesterday. It was actually liberating in some odd sense.
I was banned lol
