Does anyone regret deleting their Reddit account?

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 downloaded my comments/posts, then nuked with powerdeletesuite. :) Kept my account open, purely so that I have control over it, and Reddit couldn't un-delete without me having access to it.
So far, I miss knowing wrestling news as it was my main source of that, but... Meh no don't miss it much at all :)
I tried to nuke it too... turns out reddit has been ignoring delete and edit requests. I think they are rate capping the requests.
After running powerdeletesuite multiple times with all kinds of settings, I could still find comments of mine not deleted.
I also requested a GDPR set of account information. ALL of my deleted/edited comments are still there.
Oh damn! I there were about 50 stubborn ones that powerdelete couldn't scrub, so I did those manually, but... I think I'll do the same, a fresh gdpr dataset after a few weeks would be interesting...
:) Thanks for the heads up, they've become such a weird company, or maybe always were?
