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.

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.
