I was wondering how many people were just on vacation here and how many committed. I don’t see an option to make a poll so I will make comments and you can vote on them. (Voting doesn’t give karma like on *eddit so it’s not for personal gain, I’m just genuinely curious.)
I wiped my accounts (12 years of posts/comments) and deleted all alt accounts, but I kept my main alive (but wiped) mostly so I can keep a pulse on the subs I’m following and the state of Reddit. I’ve noticed that some subs needed some encouragement to remain blacked out, so being able to upvote using a (trusted) account is still helpful. I’ve replaced my Reddit usage with Lemmy and I do intend to stay away from reddit.
That’s interesting. I never had any alts but I keep seeing people here mentioning having plenty. What’s the purpose if I may ask?
not the person you replied to, but I had a lot of alts for the sake of privacy. I would delete an alt and generate a new one, but My main account was 10 years old
For me it was mostly being able to discuss things and sub to certain subreddits privately, as my main Reddit account was known by friends and also easily traceable to me as a person. So for example being able to discuss in the LGBT+ subs before being out as aro/ace.
