I just deleted my reddit account, and it's long overdue.
I should've deleted my account when I switched to lemm.ee to begin with. I'm glad it's over and I hope you're all enjoying this site more! I feel relief. Wanted to see how others are adapting to being on lemm.ee instead of reddit?
Some people reported that their accounts magically showed up again undeleted after a week or so. No confirmation, just saw a post some time after the blackout started. So beware to check after some time.
This is the only reason I've kept my accounts up. I have a script that undeletes any comments that resurface, and a cron job that runs that script at regular intervals. I don't know if any comments remain. Reddit says there are none remaining, but I don't trust them. However, I can't find any of my comments (same username here as in Reddit) out there through a web search so, I guess it works?
If an instance decides to show ads, I’ll just block that instance. If it’s mine, I’ll move to a different instance. If the Lemmy devs decide to add ads, I’ll just switch to kbin. I highly doubt most instances will adopt ads though.
It's really easy to adapt, I lurk here and world, finally got to making an account to post stuff to help growth. Heres the instance thing I found this one through. https://join-lemmy.org/instances
