Yup, I haven’t even bothered deleting my account. I’ll get to it eventually, but I just don’t go to Reddit anymore. I’ve been hereb since the API announcement (didn’t wait for it to take effect), and I’ve been reasonably happy here.
I will say that lemmy seems a bit more leftist than Reddit, at least in the communities I visit. On Reddit, you’ll get Bernie bros and whatnot, whereas on lemmy there’s a lot of literal socialists/communists. But at least there are fewer far right folks baiting people into one sided debates. I find the socialists and communists easier to detect, so I think lemmy so far wins.
Lemmy isn’t perfect, but it at least doesn’t have ads and I can use why client I want, or build my own. So I’ll stay until I find or build something better (I’m working on an experimental, distributed link aggregator).
Imagine if all the people who solved niche problems did this. All the information and knowledge they dispersed was deleted because of a grudge against a platform.
Same, I haven’t logged in since Apollo shut down. I occasionally check my small country’s sub through browser, as it’s not active enough on lemmy, but that’s it. I’m super happy with lemmy.
Honestly glad I left. For now at least when I see that new message number I’m not terrified of what I’ll find inside

if you’re deleting your Reddit account, you should make your past content all garbage by using Powerdeletesuite
A ton of the info on Reddit is still relevant.

That would suck so badly.
So no, I don’t think I will.
