I haven't deleted my account entirely, really just to keep the username.
But I just shredded around 1500 comments and all my posts lol. My 200k karma account looks fresh as hell. I liked making memes and conversing in communities. Deleting some of the memes I made that were top for some of my communities hurt a little lol. Really hoping the communities flesh out better on Lemmy as time goes on. Really missing my inside jokes and conversations.
The world feels a bit emptier tonight.
I just hope things don't get too segmented. Like say you're into furries, there might be furries@server1, furries@server2, furries@server3, etc... So instead of one big niche community for whatever topic, you have a bunch of smaller ones. I kind of fear that there could be too many options and it just makes things confusing. For example on that old site, I'm drawing a blank on what it was called before it suddenly went down today, there was Xbox, xboxone, Xboxseriesx, etc, when just Xbox would have been fine.
Then again it could end up being a good thing when you get mods that are assholes, like in the old site's communities like politics. Getting banned from politics was a rite of passage. At the same time, a lot of the asshole mods were a result of the site's rules that pretty much existed to keep advertisers happy. So maybe Lemmy will be more like the wild west, or the early days of the internet when everything was new, wild, and fun because there weren't any rules yet. In the 90s you could do practically anything online and nobody cared, but then the corporations took over.
