I spent months deleting my old reddit comments. And I’d have to type in my username on a search engine after about a month or two and find more of my old comments and delete those too.

I know the bots already scrapped my contributions. I wanted to say fuck off to to Reddit and take back my contributions.

I regret every time I revisit Reddit. Them shutting down old.reddit will certainly keep me from ever going back. It’ll be a blessing in disguise for me.

I was addicted to reddit for over 10 years when they shutdown the RIF app. At first I felt like an addict detoxing and it hurt. but now I can look back at those times and say good riddance to Reddit.

I still enjoy this format of social media, and therefore use Lemmy a lot. It’s clear there’s no algorithm or bots upvoteing trying to make me angry or keep me on the site. There’s less bots here trying to steer the conversation or promote their product. I’m happy with Lemmy. Fuck reddit to death.

I like the city but it’s not for everyone. I definitely wouldn’t call it a hellhole.
