So heads up: I've seen comments from some users that their deleted comments on Reddit had been restored. Haven't personally seen it myself as this is all anecdotal, but if you've deleted your comments on Reddit, you might want to go check from time to time.

Me too and it is likely permanent, cause out of habit I went to Reddit today (without logging in) and a strong feeling of disgust overcame me. So it‘s either Lemmy or nothing for me at this point.
I did the same, and I also cancelled my premium account (I know, I shouldn't have paid for it in the first place).
There is a sub called r/lounge which is a "reward" for paying for Reddit Premium, and you also get temporary access if your post gets gilded. It's a pretty inane sub mainly for just idle chatting, but I really noticed the amount of posts in there drop off a cliff in the final week. They hide the subscriber count, so you can't see how many members there are. But just judging by post activity, I guarantee that it at least cut in half.
If I could access my 15 year old account, if probably do the same. 2FA fucked me over lol

Infinity or...beyond?
you can export first, then delete your reddit comments/posts in a few clicks using : https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
That's exactly what I did, with the extra step of editing all comments and posts to "Fuck u/spez"
I deleted my content and kept the account. Today I had some content back! It seems like they are restoring. I’ll keep my account to delete again and again if they do that.
My cake day is Jan 26. Next year my account will be 10 years old, and it will be its last day, if something really extraordinary happens.
I've tried a few alternatives since Reddit closed and Lemmy by far feels like the logical replacement. Super simple and I can see how it'll just grow from here.
