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.

Meh… For those who regret their decisions (please don’t), a new account can easily be created. Karma is gamification, it is meaningless.

No.

Not in the least. Haven’t been on Reddit since the protest started!

Nope. In fact, I’m feeling pretty good about it.

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.

Why would I? Once I decided to leave, there was no point in keeping the account. (NB: My accounts still exist, but all the content has been changed to a protest message and pointer to Lemmy. Posts and comments older than the first of June have been edited and deleted.)

I regret deletng it a bit too early but I don’t regret the deleting itself.

Even tho I spent a week manually deleting comments and posts and then also used a program that allegedly deletes everything on an account, I am still able to google a couple of my older comments. They’re no longer attributed to me (it says [deleted] as the name) but the content itself is still visible to anyone … and I wanted to leave nothing of value on that site. But since the account is deleted now, can no longer manually nuke the leftover comments, which irks me a bit.

I have to admit, I did feel a bit nostalgic at one point after leaving, but just looking at the “front page” of my ex-main-sub for half a minute fixed that pretty quickly. I’ve legit never seen so many lazy shitposts in that sub at once, and everything that wasn’t a lazy shitpost was a post complaining about said shitposts, and the only two posts that were neither a shitpost nor a cmplaint, were super obvious Karma farming bots stealing content from the “top of all time” section. Total dumpster fire.

Long story short, I like it better here.

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.

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

not really tbh

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.

14 years on the site, 58K+ post Karma, 130K+ comment Karma - Deleted it all yesterday. It was actually liberating in some odd sense.
