It’s crazy isn’t it? Six months in and Mastodon still hasn’t clicked for me, but six days here and I know I’m not going back to Reddit.
My sentiments exactly! It feels like Lemmy is exploding. But like, a good explosion.
Same boat. But Twitter wasn't really my kind of social media anyway, maybe that's why Mastodon hasn't locked in?
Twitter's only purpose is for blue checkmarks to scream into the void, but why do that when you can watch more fun versions of blue checkmarks shitpost on Lemmy instead?
This is oddly exciting, like being a child again. I hope it grows into something great. Hello from kbin!
I had two accounts, one 8 years old and one 4 years old, with a combined karma of about 120k. Deleted them both earlier.
You might want to hold off on the deletion part... After the comments about "reddit is restoring posts", I logged back in and saw my entire history had been restored after 24 hours. That includes messages I deleted years ago.
So, went through and re-ran power delete suite again. Next day, there were a few back.
Going the lather-rinse-repeat route with wiping them. I figure if they want to burn CPU cycles recovering my stuff, I can burn their CPU cycles deleting it again. At some point I'll see about sending them a support request to remove all of my data if it keeps occurring.
Something to keep in mind - any comments you made in subs that went private were not affected by PDS, because they were made private with the rest of the sub.

Good stuff. I deleted my account from 2011 the other day. This shit is stupid. Honestly already like kbin better anyway from a purely aesthetic perspective.
Reddit was fun while it lasted.
This is basically my attitude as well.
this makes my little archivist heart sad tbh. fuck spez.
Thinking about doing the same to my acc with 250k+ karma.
Be sure and delete your posts/comments on your way out, no reason to leave behind free content.
I've already started moving over to lemmy but I'm also seeing some weird stuff on my Reddit account. I've had more 'Followers' sign on to my account in the last 2 weeks than I've seen in the last 3-4 years. I don't believe these are real followers. What would be the reason for this? Is Reddit playing some sort of statistics game with long-time Reddit accounts?
Probably trying to get you to stay because you have "fans" now.
Those are just bots, fake girls
me:
not deleting my account, because i want to verify that my account stays empty.
see /r/beatniak
I feel the fresh air of a new internet breeding <3
I have over 13k. My bot is keeping my comment list at 15 max and I'm not posting content. Been trying out kbin instead.
I'm hanging around until the end of June, but once Apollo is dark, I'm gone.
10 years and 180,000 karma. I nuked all of my comments and all but a couple of my posts.
However, I have seen that some of my comments are still there on posts despite not showing up in my comment history.
Yeah, reddit does that. Kinda shady tbh. That's why it's recommended to use a script to scramble all old comments before deleting them
i have this exact same thing happening. Comments are deleted from my comment history but when going to the post that contains the comments they still show up. Can this be because of some form of caching going on?
better do it earlier, if you're late PowerDeleteSuite might not work
PDS will stop working in less than 3 hours from now, because Data API restrictions will start on June 19 2023 0000 hrs. I purged all my history outside of the subreddit I created, privatelife, and modcoord.
Fyi accounts like yours can fetch above $200 on some sites. Sure they'll be used to advertise and spam but is that really your problem now?
I have several accounts I'd like to see about selling. Where do I go exactly?
I've found playerup to be a site that has a board for selling.
I used PowerDelete to replace my comments with Random Garbage, but it looks like only about 10% of comments actually got edited.
I have had to run it a few times, and Reddit appears to be restoring some comments as well in popular subs. I will keep it up until they ban me or July 1st hits. Then I will delete it all.
Last I heard it’s a bug with that version of the script
Unsubscribed from everthing last night, went to check today and i have 2 subs.
funny stuff
Could they have been private when you unsubbed from everything else, and therefore not appear in your list of subreddits?
I was never subscribed to them...creepy? and something else random.
Oh I see, that's super weird!
well done. come over to lemmy and help pls. i have thousands of reddit accounts. all shall be deleted. The Ancient Ones shall rise again!!!! WOLOLOLOLOLLOLLLO!!!!!!
