Just deleted my reddit account, along with all my posts and comments.
Just deleted my reddit account, along with all my posts and comments.
Gotta be honest, watching the titles of the posts getting deleted made me a bit nostalgic, because it was an almost 5yo account.
However, now that's old news, and my account is totally gone.
I won't miss it really, I like Lemmy a lot more.
You're viewing a single thread.
Controversial maybe but I'm leaving my 12 years of content up in case there is an answer someone needs
I just won't use it anymore
That’s super nice of you but in the end it just adds value to a company that doesn’t give a shit about its creators.
The search volume and ads do not justify the help for the greater good IMO.
It fucks Reddit more over to use an adblocker and DDOS their servers to reduce the traffic.Please do not ddos them
The value is the continued creation of content. Without new stuff it gets horning and useless
Consider removing it so users won't find it... Because the less value they get from reddit, the more likely it is they will come here instead.
I was active in sysadmin subs. My people need those comments
Yeah I was in the Home Assistant sub. The number of times I Googled something I was struggling with, only to find a Reddit thread with MY comment telling people how to solve the exact issue I'm struggling with lol, I'll leave it up.
Haha... As if my content on Reddit has any value to anyone.
You'd be surprised sometimes.
They won't come here... They'll go wherever they can to solve the problem, which won't be here because Lemmy doesn't really show up in search results yet
Depends on the search engine I think? I was getting lots of nice results on "Lemmy neovim" on Kagi.
But yeah, fully aware that almost all people use Google and that the current results may not be as good as reddit.
In my experience with google at least, you have to specifically add "lemmy" to get any results to show up (and a lot of them aren't related to the search term, just general lemmy pages), which doesn't solve the problem until enough people know to add it.
I'm all for lemmy overtaking reddit but let's not waste people's time by deleting useful information 🙃. Deleting comments with solutions to problems will just come off as obnoxious and make people want to avoid lemmy.
Same. I'm not gonna make the internet worse to use because I've now left the product. As a user, it's frustrating when I need help with some niche issue and find the perfect result on google, only for it to be deleted or otherwise useless. Deleting such history isn't gonna make people want to use Lemmy or the likes. Such historical information doesn't and will not exist on Lemmy. Deleting it doesn't push people to an alternative. It just means it's gone.
I'm not gonna cut off the collective internet's nose to spite Reddit's face.
