Did the same thing two weeks ago. It was an 11 year old account.
Now it’s all gone. Every bit of advice I gave, things I learned, knowledge I passed along, and pointless arguments I had, have all gone to the bit bucket.
I’ve been searching on Google for info that I mostly find on Reddit. I’ve come across several deleted posts and I’m like man I need that piece of info :(. But I get it because I deleted my long-time account too. Hopefully we’ll soon build Lemmy to become a helpful source.
You can still find those answers without giving Reddit any ad revenue. All you have to do is take the link from Google copy it. Go up to the URL bar and type cache: and the link.
You used to be able to open the hamburger menu next to Google search results and directly view a cached page. This is doing the same thing, Google just took away the button.
Maybe I’m just dumb, but looking for posts on Lemmy via Google doesn’t seem to redirect me to any post on Lemmy? For example ‘Beginning tips running lemmy’, doesn’t redirect me to the !running@lemmy.world community even though there’s definitely a post about it with helpful information.
Nuked mine on the 30th when Apollo went down. Ten years, secret Santa, snack exchanges, all kinds of discussions from people all over the world. All burned because of one rich cunt who just has to be richer.
Bittersweet to leave but this feels like a new beginning, chance to find new communities that aren’t sponsored or bot driven
I’m not sure I’ll be able to delete my account. Over 10 years as well, so much content saved and so many memories. This almost feels like a breakup where I am both glad that it happened but sad that it’s over.

And I feel good about it.

Like tears in rain…
Time… to die.
/Best Sci-Fi monologue ever.
Nearly 9 years for me. Thousands of comments and links. Nuked the lot. Mixed feelings but to hell with spez.
