When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy.

Now that it’s starting to die down a little bit, does anyone regret doing that? Or are you glad that you took that step?

    I didn’t delete my account, but I did wipe out my post history.

    I keep my account active because I’ve already found a couple of instances where reddit restored my posts in particular sub reddits ands I had to delete them again.

      I wish I had gone with this route, but I honestly didn’t foresee the possibility that admin might restore what’s been deleted or edited.

      I had no intention of ever using the account to add content in the future, but in retrospect it would have been better to keep it in a dormant state.
