Does anyone regret deleting their Reddit account? (lemmy.world)

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?

Deleted my 15 year account and what little posts I had. Joined kbin and lemmy since I don't know what I was doing. But it also made me think of what other social media and what else I'm using that is governed by corporate overlords. Deleted Twitter and joined Mastodon just to see what is like. I uninstalled Windows 11 and installed Linux Mint on my PC. Now looking for alternatives to Google apps that I use even though I'm on a Google Pixel phone but it's into it's 3rd year so it'll probably die sooner than later. So looking for cloud hosting for photos, spreadsheets etc between my phone and my PC to break away from Google. Anyway moving from Reddit has started a avalanche of introspection of what I'm using. Tldr: No.

Check out GrapheneOS, it might give your phone a few more years.

Without Google wallet/pay support and it's 50/50 if banking apps work I won't be switching but I like everything else about the OS. I don't want to go back to carrying cards around with me, been too many years of just using my phone for payments. Thank you for the recommendation though.
