Personally I’m waiting for the 30th. I have a dream of crashing their servers with account deletion requests
I did it this morning, I had already scrubbed everything and was just fucking around having some last couple conversations when someone tried to argue with me and tell me “haha whatever dude, you’ll be back after the 1st”, so that’s when I decided “fuck it, the time is now I guess”.
Even in your last moments on the site, redditors can find a way to be dicks.
That was what persuaded me to delete as well. I was supporting the mods in /r/gis and mentioned that they should strike longer, and some user called me “fucking stupid,” and mentioned some bs about how the subreddit is important because people find answers there via google.
So I edited every single one of my 11 years of comments to some text pointing people to Lemmy, and nuked my account. Haven’t missed it since.
I sincerely hope that toxicity doesn’t find its way here.
Nah but I haven’t logged in yet. I will probably delete it at some point but leave the comments up. I’m fine with leaving whatever value I have contributed on Reddit. It’s their website and they own the content I willfully added. But I won’t contribute more.
My account dies with Apollo
I’ve removed all of my many years of comments (edited them first, so if they restore my comments they get strings of randomly-generated words to screw up the data feed going to the LLM text-scrapers), but I will not be deleting my account. I want to keep it operational so that I can see if they try to restore my stuff, then remove it again if they do.
I’ve kept my last two weeks of comments, so that the Rexxit discussion is still alive. I’ll purge everything else that’s not Rexxit-related on the 30th.
Yep. 12yr account. Not much karma but it was a decent part of my daily routine for that period of time.
