I have. Found a tool on Github that edited and deleted every comment or post I did and then deleted the account. So, the nuclear option. My account may not have had much contributions, but it was an honest account of 5 years.

I will delete it when Sync for Reddit cannot be used anymore. But I will stop using reddit anyway

The only reason I stuck with Reddit was because of Apollo. Iโ€™ve just requested my data, hopefully I can get to grips with Lemmy!

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I requested my data the other day too. I haven't heard anything yet, which makes me wonder if they will actually do it, because I'm sure they got a ton of requests at this point. I'm hoping to get that before I pull the plug completely.

They kind of have to don't they? This is a GDPR thing, right?

The day I joined Beehaw is the day I deleted my 13 year old Reddit account. I'm already feeling the effects of spending less time scrolling and reading through comments, and more time actually talking to people.

It feels good :)

I had 7 years of saved posts in my old Reddit account, deleted it today. We'll see if Lemmy grows, but always open to trying new things!

I have. And i would love for it to be permanent, but that's going to depend on if Lemmy continues to build content. At the end of the day, I like this platform but without content I won't stay. Current momentum is looking fantastic though, and I will continue to comment and add my pieces!

I want to transition off of Reddit but I'm not deleting my account because I feel like there's too much valuable information on the site to get rid of it all just yet.

If you don't delete your account, you should REALLY consider selling it. One: You get more money than you would think is reasonable for a stupid Reddit account, Two: It's not going to be used for a good reason which only hurts Reddit. Win win right?

People pay for Reddit accounts? Jebus

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, it's crazy how much people with pay for an established account.
