I'm wiping my account tonight and will be doing an account delete bit right before the black outs.
I honestly don't think anything would get me to go back. I don't think I'll miss my doom scroll app. Lemmy feels much more easy to actually be apart of, and my account can interact with other fedverse stuff, heck yeah.
The only subreddit I'm going to miss that I haven't seen an alternative of is r/196, so I hope that pops up.
regarding r/196, [email protected] (lemmy.world/c/196) just popped up less than an hour ago!
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I don't wanna! I don't wanna!
But I feel like maybe I should wipe my account, too.
I don't have any special expertise in any category or anything but I really don't like the idea they'll be able to take my dead account with over the 146K combined karma and sell it to some AI jagoff startup.
I don't even know half of the platforms I stored my stuff on, either.
I have a lot of fond memories that will die with my login but fuck if I'm going to unwillingly participate in the monetization and mining of all of that content!
