I chose this username a couple of weeks ago so that in five years I will post something random on Lemmy and look back realizing I haven’t thought about Reddit in a while…
You must log in or register to comment.
I haven’t deleted my account entirely, really just to keep the username.
But I just shredded around 1500 comments and all my posts lol. My 200k karma account looks fresh as hell. I liked making memes and conversing in communities. Deleting some of the memes I made that were top for some of my communities hurt a little lol. Really hoping the communities flesh out better on Lemmy as time goes on. Really missing my inside jokes and conversations.
I just hope things don’t get too segmented. Like say you’re into furries, there might be furries@server1, furries@server2, furries@server3, etc… So instead of one big niche community for whatever topic, you have a bunch of smaller ones. I kind of fear that there could be too many options and it just makes things confusing. For example on that old site, I’m drawing a blank on what it was called before it suddenly went down today, there was Xbox, xboxone, Xboxseriesx, etc, when just Xbox would have been fine.
Then again it could end up being a good thing when you get mods that are assholes, like in the old site’s communities like politics. Getting banned from politics was a rite of passage. At the same time, a lot of the asshole mods were a result of the site’s rules that pretty much existed to keep advertisers happy. So maybe Lemmy will be more like the wild west, or the early days of the internet when everything was new, wild, and fun because there weren’t any rules yet. In the 90s you could do practically anything online and nobody cared, but then the corporations took over.
I had 50000 combined karma. They’re just numbers on a screen. My principles mean more to me so I deleted my account.
👑 you dropped this
I somehow amassed 14 years, and that was only because I couldn’t remember the password to my earlier account. 150 karma. I just lurked for the majority of that time, only commenting after getting a belly full and then refusing to review comment.
Is 150 karma indicative of something? I never bothered to understand how karma worked.
Over 100k, 3000 comments, 12 years.
Edited then deleted.
Reddit was fun.
I can’t delete my reddit as I think it’d be unfair to the people wbo might get something eventually through my lore posting about guilty gear lol but yeah it sucks, once World gets stable I won’t use reddit at all unless I literally cannot find the answer on Lemmy, which probably won’t happen but hey, never know.
10 years, over 500,000 karma. Reporting uncivil, harassment, violence, and general bigotry. Building communities, contributing loads of money to reddit through gildings.
This past year Reddit fucked me with a suspension that was either a glitch or some automated exploit (the charge was completely irrelevant to the random comment they highlighted). They refused to look into it.
Now that the shit has hit the fan with reddit, I am kind of enjoying it with popcorn. They shot themselves in the foot.
Just did mine tonight. Just shy of 10y by maybe a week, been getting ready for the switch for weeks. Browsed right up to the end, deleted, and no looking back
I just deleted my account too. 8 years with reddit were great but all things must come to an end. Exploring a new place here on lemmy feels like an adventure and the same old thing at the same time.
My 11 year 95k account got banned about a year ago and I just lurked after that.
Feels good to be back to posting
