Hi, it might be against what most people feel and think right now but I feel that it needs to be said.

I come from rational place even though I currently hate reddit and removed it completely from my devices, but I’m not going to delete my posts or nuke my comments.

Like it or not Reddit is still a huge database for a lot of solutions and great posts and discussions about opinions, reviews, how-to and many many more. Lemmy will take time to keep the pace and be filled with these types of content. And it might might take years to get to it (I really hope it will).

Deleting and nuking posts and comments are only distroy what we and the entire reddit community built over the years and it will be a huge loss for all of us.

If you ask me, the best way to say ‘fuck you’ to reddit, is keep all the old Content there, try to migrate as much as we can here and from now on build this content here. When/if Lemmy be mature enough we can go back and fuck everything up on reddit.

This is my 2 cents.

    Agree with OP.

    I’ve posted original content on subreddits meant for people with mental disorders. I also helped people find solutions for software-related problems. I don’t feel that screwing them over to make a statement to Reddit’s CEO is the right way to go.

    I plan to delete my Reddit account and avoid visiting the site as much as I can. If enough people do the same thing and use alternatives instead, that’s enough of a statement to me.
