I only go to Reddit now because of one or two forums that don't exist on here yet, But the more I see stories like this, the more I'm inclined to just say screw it and nuke my account.
Honestly, at this point, my plan is to nuke my account. The only communities on their that I really check that aren't on here have devolved into mindless rage-bait. Probably a so-long and good riddance situation.
No one regrets getting banned from digg.
I think the entire world should be nuked at this point.
Be patient. It will be.
It's the only way to be sure.
There's a schedule I rely on that gets posted on Reddit, but I just stay logged out and see it that way. I've asked on their Discord if they'd also post it on Lemmy or Mastodon, but they haven't replied. It's a very slow Discord though.
I haven't nuked my account yet simply because I think it could do some good. I was a power user and I went back in and pinned a note to the top of my profile telling people to come to Lemmy. So anyone who looks me up, and I frequently got responses in months-old threads, so that's not impossible, will see that. If it convinces even a couple of people, it's worth it.
I did something similar to that with my Twitter account, that and while I stopped using it in November of last year I didn't want to delete it right away in the off chance that things changed and it got better. But after a few months I figured anyone that wanted to find me on Mastodon would have found me and Twitter wasn't any better, so I hit the nuke button. I get ya'.
Do it. I did it when BaconReader stopped working, if they're not going to do the bare minimum of caring about their users I'm not doing the bare minimum of caring about my content on their platform. It also makes it easy to not use it again.

Indeed.
