Gotta be honest, watching the titles of the posts getting deleted made me a bit nostalgic, because it was an almost 5yo account.
However, now that’s old news, and my account is totally gone.
I won’t miss it really, I like Lemmy a lot more.

I would experience negative emotions about Lemmy/k in if I found a reddit thread describing my problem and the lauded solution was changed to say the user moved there. It would not make me want to switch.
I left mine because there’s lots of good info out there that will help people some day, but I’m done posting anymore on there. All my new comments go here.
Controversial maybe but I’m leaving my 12 years of content up in case there is an answer someone needs
I just won’t use it anymore
That’s super nice of you but in the end it just adds value to a company that doesn’t give a shit about its creators.
The search volume and ads do not justify the help for the greater good IMO.
It fucks Reddit more over to use an adblocker and DDOS their servers to reduce the traffic.Please do not ddos them
Consider removing it so users won’t find it… Because the less value they get from reddit, the more likely it is they will come here instead.
They won’t come here… They’ll go wherever they can to solve the problem, which won’t be here because Lemmy doesn’t really show up in search results yet
Depends on the search engine I think? I was getting lots of nice results on “Lemmy neovim” on Kagi.
But yeah, fully aware that almost all people use Google and that the current results may not be as good as reddit.
I was active in sysadmin subs. My people need those comments
It is crazy how quickly I saw that reddit is an actual defilement to the social process.
I kept getting booted out of using RES and old.r and how it wants to control the comments and everything … I don’t know. I’m happy that these federated systems are here. And I have looked at my next months budget to split donation to the cause.
Please have pledge drives right after upgrades or right after we have a big outage. Seems like that would be a great time to push for us to compensate the drivers of this public space.
I got banned site wide so I can’t delete my subreddits or anything I posted. That should be illegal.
Fediverse thanks you
You can never fully delete your reddit account.
Find some old threads that you commented on years ago; chances are that a good portion of them are still there. Your reddit history doesn’t show everything, and AFAIK there are no tools available that can effectively eliminate every single post you’ve ever made, unless of course you simply didn’t make many comments and posts to begin with.
Request a GDPR export and you will get your entire comment history. There are tools that can read that history and delete all the comments. I did encounter errors deleting a small number of comments which may have been due to the subs being privated. I deleted the problem ones from the json and the rest got deleted. I manually checked a sample of the 12 years of comments to confirm the accessible ones were being deleted.
Is there a tool for me to download my data first?

Doesn’t fully delete. I was still able to find old comments. It gets rid of most. Also reddit is known to restore deleted posts and comments now. Week after I deleted everything was restored automatically.
Post racist conspiracy theories until your scrubbed from the site, it’s your only hope.
Legal advice.
Using the the N word for good /jk
Ni!

All I had to do was report a pedophile with direct proof to get me banned and it got them a temp 7 day ban -_-.
Reddit is disgusting
wtf - we’re gonna need the full story there…
Some dude admitted to grooming a girl and having sex and a relationship with a 16 year old dude is 27 so I reported it on an alt account
Now keep in mind I am banned from reddit like IP banned so I got on a new account through a VPN and reported this person. This report came back and they temp backend them for 7 days and I woke up the next morning getting perma banned
Now obviously there’s a reason why I was permanently banned for the 12th time but I keep doing this to piss them off and prove a point
I report accounts like these and harass the people and scare them off reddit
All I did was try to keep people safe and that’s why I’m banned.
Some dude also admitted to jerking off into a girl’s water bottle at the gym when she walked away then he admitted to watching her drink it
Like… Wtf is wrong with people and why do they get away with this shit
Look at what I just posted in this sub. I got a lot worse stuff as well
The jizz in the water sounds like bullshit tbh… If anyone doesn’t notice a load in their water bottle they are far too familiar with the taste of it lol.
Deleted my 10 year account with hundreds of posts and thousands of comments. I have to admit, leaving reddit has created a sort of vacuum in my life, and I have been spending more time scrolling on facebook, news sites and other shitty services. I’m happy to finally have landed on lemmy, but it has been a bit bumpy with the instability on lemmy.world.
Lemmy is getting there but it’s still not a great replacement, especially when it comes to niche topics. For example, the Venture Bros movie came out recently and I wanted to discuss it with other fans, but there’s no place on lemmy for that; or if there is, I have been unable to find it. Meanwhile the Venture Bros subreddit has 3 different megathreads. I’m keeping my reddit account around for things like that until lemmy grows a bit more.
A boycott is rarely comfortable.
Sounds like something for the loads of movie subs you could crosspost to?
It is technically a movie, sure. But more accurately, it’s the conclusion to a show that’s been on the air for almost 20 years. It’s not a movie made to stand on it’s own. Posting it to a movie sub makes as much sense as posting about ancient Roman senators in a politics sub. It’s technically politics, but you’re not going to get very meaningful discussion because it’s not what people go there for. The only people who would watch this movie are fans of the show, and even if a non-fan watched it, why would I give a shit about their opinion of it? They aren’t going to get it.
Are you starting to see the issue?
Yep. Niche community problem right here.
But that’s also a niche platform issue on top.
cool
