good riddance
Deleted mine yesterday after 12 1/2 years. Felt pretty good actually.
I don’t know, it felt kind of mixed to me. I definitely had some feeling of mourning as I was deleting 11 1/2 years of my personal content. The same feeling you might have throwing out childhood toys, or more accurately like old diaries. Nevertheless, I felt strongly that it was the right thing to do to delete all my comments. They’re backup up but it’s all in JSON so I don’t think I’ll revisit it again.
Honestly, even if Lemmy doesn’t grow to be even 1% of the size of Reddit, I think I could seriously enjoy the smaller-community vibe way more. Reddit was starting to get ridiculously flooded with trash content and bots.
Backed up and deleted all your posts and comments? Is there some sort-of simple way to do that, for people who’re not programmers?
Use https://codepen.io/j0be/full/WMBWOW/ you can backup your stuff, modify your stuff before deleting and regular delete as well.
PowerDeleteSuite
I think there is a way to do it, but redditors have been encountering problems accessing the feature necessary for this kind of deletion.
