That’s me deleted my Reddit account along with all data as I do not agree with recent events that have been taking place. I’m going to concentrate on Mastodon , Lemmy and take a look at Kbin .

    June would be 9 years for me. I remember I joined because I had just gotten into Formula 1 and found a great place to read about it among a community that I, as someone with social anxiety, remain anonymous, but also, as someone with ADHD, geek out and hyperfocus on all the ins-and-outs and fit in.

    It has been 9 long years. My subscribed list tells the story of those years. Once I subscribed to something I never unsubscribed, even if I never went back so I would have those memories of “Oh, I remember when that happen and I was super into ____.” It saw me get divorced, it saw me leave the military and travel across the country to fight wildfires. It saw me meet the person that I should have married to begin with and share Reddit with them. It has been the one constant over the last decade, that while I can move on and leave because I love it here, I just don’t think I can delete my account. It would be like deleting those memories and I just struggle with that.

      Same. I created my account when I was 14 and I’m 25 now - almost half my life ago. That account contains thoughts I’ve had for 11 years now. I just can’t delete it all like that without somehow archiving it.

      With subs going down, it scrubs my history in them anyway, so unless they all come back up or are forced back open with new mods, a lot of my history is already gone.
