Does anyone regret deleting their Reddit account? (lemmy.world)

When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy.

Now that it's starting to die down a little bit, does anyone regret doing that? Or are you glad that you took that step?

I haven't, this time. But I don't use it. I have been on Reddit exactly five times since the protests began and only two of those were on purpose. The others were by clicking links from here that I didn't realize went there. The two that were on purpose were related to doing a data request and checking on it.

I have deleted a long standing account before and didn't regret it. I just switched to an alt. My current account participated in some long-tail mental health support, some of my comments and posts get responded to months/years later thanking me for help. I am not so petty that I would remove content that may actual help someone.

You're a good person - thank you.
