It was a long time coming.
I did a similar thing (7+ years account) except I only had patience to do the last sentence, I don’t think anyone reads these messages anyways.
Yeah as much as I understand wanting them to be hurt by you leaving, in the end this is the online equivalent of a Karen saying “you just lost a customer!”
What if everyone didn’t delete their accounts and just left them tog ather just and take up a fraction of resources. They’ll get purged soon enough. Make them do the work.
That’s pretty much what I was doing. I was a huge lurker anyway, so just there to clog shit up. Left feedback on the Reddit app and uninstalled that though.
As soon as the Apollo closed message popped up, I attempted to delete my account. There must have been a ton of like minded users because it took hours to get my account deleted. And then… I realized that I had an addiction. Nine years and poof it was gone. Definitely had some weird withdrawal symptoms… So I found lemmy!
Anyone else doing the same be sure to request your data from Reddit before you delete it! (If that’s something you’d ever want to have)
