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 going to concentrate on Mastodon , Lemmy and take a look at Kbin .

Still can't fathom deleting my Reddit account, even though I was always much more of a lurker. I was quicker with Twitter --> Mastodon. Deleted everything as soon as the shit started hitting the fan and didn't look back. I'm sold on Lemmy, though. I'm getting a whole lot of what I was getting there around these parts, and it seems to be a wee bit more friendly for the kind of people me likey.

Why do you care about your account? I swap to a new Reddit account every 6-12 months. It literally means nothing. You can resub to everything you had before and it’s like you never left. I feel no love towards my account at all, it’s a tool for enabling me to engage, nothing more.

I grow attached to things. I still keep a 10 year-old laptop with a 10-year old (rolling) Linux installation on it. I put over 500K miles on a car. I was once married for 10 years. That kinda thing. To each their own, I guess ;)

I know what you mean. I've posted some comments that I know have been useful because I get replies years later, from people who've googled the topic. I don't want to remove any of that, but I'll just leave it dormant.

If this is my new home, I'll be less attached to that Reddit account over time.

I'm the same. My account is 11 years old. I created it when I was 14 - I'm 25 now. I like the ability to read through comments that my teenage self wrote :-)
