What the title says.

A certain Mr. Huffman is making Reddit, which was once the frontpage of the internet (it still is, albeit for different reasons) a living hell for us.

Being in the coding/development trade as my profession, I am a huge advocate of anything FOSS, so when I found Lemmy, I did not look back.

Thanks to PowerDeleteSuite, I got rid of all my contents from Reddit. I did hear reasonings like “leave them there, for the benefits of lurkers” - but nope. I do not trust the sorting algorithm of Reddit anymore, I do not believe people will get to see my content if needed. So yep, blow 'em up.

I kept a close eye for a while on whether my posts and comments get resurrected (yes I did read about people experiencing this) - but I guess PDS did a good job for me.

So there you go, Snoo - you are cute - but creepy Stevie is fucking with your cuteness, and fucking with all of us.

      Mine is from 2007, and I’m at the same crossroads as you are.

          Yeah this is me, I think I first made an account in 2012 but never saw the point in keeping one longer than a year or so.

          It’s like quitting smoking - it’s the easiest thing to do, smokers do it 5 times a year./s

      If you wanna keep your bookmarks and the subreddits (communities) that you’re subscribed to before deleting your account, I made a free tool to help you store and offload that data.

      It’s called Reddit Account Manager, and it’s 100% free.

      You can also use it to manage your Lemmy account(s), of course.

      I’ve kept mine from 2012 alive just to check if some comments reappeared (which did on a few occasions) but aside from checking on it once or twice a month I haven’t used reddit since the the blackout.

      I did alter my profile to say “Went to lemmy” though. I should delete it soon however, I doubt any more comments will pop back up after all this time.
