Me too. Even though I would make new accounts regularly on Reddit, this feels different. A true tabula rasa moment. We will write the future!
And apparently that future starts with the word "Beans".

Kbeans?
I have no intention of going back to Reddit, but I can't bring myself to delete the profile yet lol
I met my husband on reddit and I just cant delete our first messages to each other. Maybe I'll screen shot them or something one day.
Thats sweet. I’m old school (and hoary), I met my wife on IRC.
Same here. I have so many useful and great posts and even memories there. I wish I hadn't but I can't lose them.
I invested so much time into it. It feels like deleting a draft of a novel or something
Reddit doesn't make anything, the users make the content.
It's both hilarious and sad that Huffman would choose to alienate users. Seriously biting the hand that feeds.
Welcome!
I did delete my main account and have been mainlining lemmy for my enjoyment, it’s great here and the upvotes and comments are really kicking off now.
I remade a Reddit account to only use for my googles for things (path of exile help atm)
If I do find myself replying, I’ll be using chatgpt to write the most nothing shit. I literally can’t use Reddit on my phone thanks to that awful official app.
Thank fuck for Memmy!
How did you install Memmy?
On IOS, download TestFlight first and then google the Memmy GitHub link, the app hasn’t been released on the App Store yet but it’s finalizing approvals with apple
Fuck spez the twat.
I left mine. 11yr old account, 18k karma, 0 posts now
I deleted all my comment history before I deleted my account. 🔥
So based. I hope old Reddit threads will look like swiss cheese soon
How do you do this? Do you know how to do a mass edit first so they can't restore it?
Haven't used it yet myself but I think shreddit does this
Thank u.
There is a tool called power delete suite that can auto edit or auto delete all or some of your Reddit content
Thank u.
Went to each post and comment, edited and deleted. It took a while...
Same. Figure if enough do so it sends another message. Removed all my content first of course.
Must not be on Twitter.
It has been much more of a slow burn on Twitter. Plus, more people used Twitter for real time news, which is a more difficult thing to replace than the shitposting and discussion that Reddit was used for more.
I haven't, because boost somehow still works on it, but after finding the Jerboa app that feels so much like boost, understanding a little more about the instances and all, picking one that i liked, and seeing that the lemmy community is much more interesting. I am just scrolling here now.
I did as well
It seems the somewhat community-oriented and non-evil impression many of had about Reddit Inc was a facade. Pretty much we didn't realize how lame the ownership/management was because for the most part, they stayed out of everyone's way. There were some clues over the years, though.
Personally I am really happy to have broken the habit of going there. The cliches and overdone jokes have been a bit much for a while. I still might look at it for things like city news, until the Lemmy communities get large enough. On the other hand, some subs I read a lot over the past few years had been driving me sort of nuts for a while with the same thing over and over again every month or two. Also, the same contentious opinion wars - you'd have the community agree on one point one week, and the next week or next day, totally different attitudes and consensus and voting depending on who randomly showed up and how the post/comments were voted on in the first few hours. Pretty sure my mental health has been improving over the past few weeks due to not being on reddit.
I deleted seven years of account history last night and it felt good. I still have gold to give away before I delete the account.
I am just irritated that Reddit decides to commit sudoku right after I hit 100k comment karma.
Y'all are so dramatic lmao. Acting like this is a big life event. You went from looking at shitposts on one app to looking at shit posts on another.
Some of these young ones might not have been through a big social media migration before. If Reddit was the only way (or biggest way) they interacted with the internet then it would be a big life event to them.
They have to relearn how to search, verify facts (hah), find porn, and wonder if sarcasm works the same. Idk man let people enjoy their Reddit shit talking. I'm enjoying them shit talk.
