      Same. Longest I’d gone without commenting on reddit for a decade straight is 3 days. Now the longest is…since July 1st and counting.

      • I said I would leave my just-turned 15-year-old account after June 30th, received a lot of fomo jibe, and have only been back when I’ve needed to update the social links of my profile with new Fediverse replacement accounts.

        Good riddance.

      I miss the toxicity. I miss the inside jokes… I miss shitty watercolours. I miss the gore. I miss the profound comments. I miss the extremely detailed and informative answers to the most rudiment question.

      Here is just: capitalism bad / Landlords suck / Linux / Chromium sux / Atheism

      Don’t get me wrong, I love these topics, but it’s just that…

      I found another website where I make my daily blog, but now I’m wasting even more time online…

        You’re in a meme community that’s hosted on an instance started by Marxist-leninists. Of course you’re going to see a lot of that. Have you tried to search for communities on other instances? I’m on Kbin, and this is one of many fediverse-wide communities I’m subscribed to from there. I don’t get the constant politics and circlejerking on some other instances.

          Yeah. I miss people arguing over unimportant stuff, like their life depends on it. I miss communities coming together to mass downvote companies like EA. And I miss letting out anger, knowing that the other user does the same.

    I was there for 12 years! Not that it’s a competition. It was a very weird transition at first.

      Same. It was actually a big enough change to routine that it took a few weeks to stop automatically opening Reddit.

      11 years and 3 days with well over 650k karma, before The Wipe for me. Power deleted all posts and comments.

        Have you checked to see if Reddit un-deleted them? I’ve heard a few cases of people mass deleting their posts/comments, only for them to reappear a few days later

          It does look like all is gone from my post/comment history, at least.

      I was on there for a similar amount of time and was permanently banned for badmouthing the British royal family. Well, suggesting that the problem if British royalty could be solved with bricks, which are cheaper than guillotines.

      The most annoying thing was that they treated that as some sort of actionable threat of violence.

      The thought of that sniveling reporter and admin getting all uppity because I threatened their lords…

      Ugh…

      Honestly though its been easier than I thought. My screen time is way down and I have found lots of free time.

    Then reddit admins use the time stone and all your comments are restored. You’ll need the GDPR stone to do it permanently.

    I’d rather edit every single post / comment to say “Fuck u/spez” but I don’t know how to use the API to do that and I don’t have the time to commit to that project :/

      Lol some subreddits had changed their automod to warn you for changing your comments to “fuck Spez”

      I got one that sorta said “oh you are editing all your old comments before leaving reddit? Let me ban you to help you not come back”

      Then they banned me not even 10 minutes before I deleted my account. It was such a pathetic sounding message lmfao.

        The funny thing is being banned from a subreddit doesn’t even stop you from continuing to edit your old comments in that subreddit. You just can’t make any new ones.

      9 years for me. I wiped my comment and post history, but didn’t delete it because all that does it take away any control you have if they decide to restore it.

    I refuse to delete my writing account I started 12 years ago in case someone tries to steal my content again.

    whenever I delete old accounts I always make a gdpr request on all my data, does anyone else do that?

      That’s what I did before I overwrote and deleted my reddit comments. Left the account active just so I can make sure it stays that way

    @balderdash9 9 year old account…gone. I can’t believe how much it took me to do that. The day after they started their new charges. I really held out hope that they would see reason, like Hasbro with the whole license issue. Shame. Goodbye Reddit. Burn in hell.

      The difference with the Hasbro D&D license though is the cliche “you are the product” quote. Hasbro needs to sell D&D products to the people who they upset, but Reddit only needs to sell impressions to advertisers who didn’t care about the API.

    It’s such a relief knowing that Lemmy can’t get fucked up by some shill.

    If I don’t like this instance I literally pick up my bat and ball and go to the next one over. Same experience there except without the person/people I don’t like.
