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.
You, you are suggesting that somehow I have some sort of obligation to the common good to not do what I want with my text, that I wrote. Then creating a false dichotomy whereas knowledge will be lost if erased from Reddit. This is false. Knowledge has existed and found distribution media for millennia without Reddit. This is not the burning of the library of Alexandria. This is a repository of memes, flame wars and awkward conversations. Reddit's position as a source for knowledge is the result of the effort of thousands of volunteers who sifted and curated the garbage and dribble of a million monkeys with typewriters. But maybe just scroll a bit past search results and you'll find just as good sources like Wikipedia, StackOverflow, and you know? books. 99% of what Reddit comments did was regurgitate knowledge that could be found elsewhere if you know how to read something other than memes and think for yourself for a few minutes.
