I only go to Reddit now because of one or two forums that don't exist on here yet, But the more I see stories like this, the more I'm inclined to just say screw it and nuke my account.

    I think the entire world should be nuked at this point.

    There's a schedule I rely on that gets posted on Reddit, but I just stay logged out and see it that way. I've asked on their Discord if they'd also post it on Lemmy or Mastodon, but they haven't replied. It's a very slow Discord though.

    I haven't nuked my account yet simply because I think it could do some good. I was a power user and I went back in and pinned a note to the top of my profile telling people to come to Lemmy. So anyone who looks me up, and I frequently got responses in months-old threads, so that's not impossible, will see that. If it convinces even a couple of people, it's worth it.

    I did something similar to that with my Twitter account, that and while I stopped using it in November of last year I didn't want to delete it right away in the off chance that things changed and it got better. But after a few months I figured anyone that wanted to find me on Mastodon would have found me and Twitter wasn't any better, so I hit the nuke button. I get ya'.

    I just got the data packet I requested from my 10+ year old account. I'm going to try downloading/opening it tomorrow, and if it works (I really want to see what I was talking about 10 years ago) I'm out.

    I encourage others to do the same! I've heard that you should nuke all your high value posts and comments by editing them to just "." before deleting, to ensure there's no contribution even if reddit restores the data, which is apparently something they've started to do.
