Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.

Anyways, what communities do you recommend?

I use lemmy like twitter, like reddit 15 years ago : I view everything, then block communities I’m not interested in.

Lemmy is still small enough to that without too much garbage- especially if you like a broad range of content,

The only chore was blocking tons of anime

I'd recommend filtering by all instances (servers) and see which ones show up, which is kind of like r/all. Just a word of warning that everyone and their dog seems to have a NSFW community with three niche images that make you wonder how that's even a thing.

Did you remember to delete all you posts and comments before deleting your account? Because fuck Reddit!

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Why? Unless you’re in a few location in the world, they won’t actually delete your valuable data.

Deleting your account only deletes your username from posts and comments. Why leave behind useful content?

Fuck Reddit!

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But they would keep that information behind the scenes and only display [deleted] or whatever it said.

No you’re missing the point, unless you live in a location that has laws to force companies to actually delete your data, they won’t actually delete it and thus deleting your account will achieve nothing.

No one gives a shit if Reddit stores your posts in the background, hidden from the front-end, it's about removing useful content from the public.

Thus... Deleting all your posts and comments before deleting your account.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

No, it's about removing content from being sold to AI or other companies.

No one gives a shit about the front-end.
