Hi, it might be against what most people feel and think right now but I feel that it needs to be said.

I come from rational place even though I currently hate reddit and removed it completely from my devices, but I’m not going to delete my posts or nuke my comments.

Like it or not Reddit is still a huge database for a lot of solutions and great posts and discussions about opinions, reviews, how-to and many many more. Lemmy will take time to keep the pace and be filled with these types of content. And it might might take years to get to it (I really hope it will).

Deleting and nuking posts and comments are only distroy what we and the entire reddit community built over the years and it will be a huge loss for all of us.

If you ask me, the best way to say ‘fuck you’ to reddit, is keep all the old Content there, try to migrate as much as we can here and from now on build this content here. When/if Lemmy be mature enough we can go back and fuck everything up on reddit.

This is my 2 cents.

    I respect your two cents and politely disagree.

    I’m looking at a CEO who somehow thinks my content is his to profit off of, and I decide that I won’t be a part of it. It most definitely will hurt users, yes. A lot of my posts were top results in Google for my work field, and that knowledge is lost because I edited and then removed all my posts and comments.

    But it is the only course of action available to me, if I want to keep in charge of my content, and who gets to monetize it.
