That's me deleted my Reddit account along with all data as I do not agree with recent events that have been taking place. I'm goingย to concentrate on Mastodon , Lemmy and take a look at Kbin .

June would be 9 years for me. I remember I joined because I had just gotten into Formula 1 and found a great place to read about it among a community that I, as someone with social anxiety, remain anonymous, but also, as someone with ADHD, geek out and hyperfocus on all the ins-and-outs and fit in.

It has been 9 long years. My subscribed list tells the story of those years. Once I subscribed to something I never unsubscribed, even if I never went back so I would have those memories of "Oh, I remember when that happen and I was super into ____." It saw me get divorced, it saw me leave the military and travel across the country to fight wildfires. It saw me meet the person that I should have married to begin with and share Reddit with them. It has been the one constant over the last decade, that while I can move on and leave because I love it here, I just don't think I can delete my account. It would be like deleting those memories and I just struggle with that.

With subs going down, it scrubs my history in them anyway, so unless they all come back up or are forced back open with new mods, a lot of my history is already gone.

Same. I created my account when I was 14 and I'm 25 now - almost half my life ago. That account contains thoughts I've had for 11 years now. I just can't delete it all like that without somehow archiving it.
