Yeah, me too. Been there for 7 years, it's basically a time capsule of how i've grown for this 7 long years and in a few hours i'll have to bid my farewell with the friends i made along the way, then when midnight strike in my country, the account will be gone. I've met someone very special to me and also lost it over the last 3 years with that account, it's hard not to feel sentimental.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It's almost like cutting off a part of myself. Also, watching PDS tick up on the page progress cuz it can only see so many pages ahead of where it's at is... distressing, shall we say. I didn't know I had (at least) 80 pages of content on Reddit, though it obviously makes sense. I'm kinda assuming it might have to run overnight, but it just... hurts. I've changed so much over the past 6 years and in a few moments all I will have left is my memories and a discord account that's even worse at archiving things.
Yeah, clicking that button is like pulling life support off your loved one. I've never feel so hurt leaving a socmed platform before, mostly because i didn't meet much people before in those platform, everyone just trying to showoff their life but never try to communicate.
My country sub in reddit have this daily thread where people will just post their thought and all that, and i've met more friend in those thread alone than any forum/facebook/twitter combined. It's a special place.

Deleted all of my posts and comments with the 'Nuke Reddit History' extension earlier today and deleted my main account as well.
I do have a 2nd backup account (with no posts or comments) where I now have subscribed to all of the same channels as my main account had. I decided to do that as I want to wait until most of the channels I have subscribed to on Reddit are on 'Lemmy' before I delete everything that has to do with Reddit to do.
Yes, but no, but yes, but only kinda.
The things that I will miss the most, are identical to the things that I'm enjoying on lemmy.
I totally get how you feel. It feels a bit silly to mourn a website, but I think that’s an accurate way of thinking about it. The good news is, Lemmy scratches 95% of that Reddit itch for me.
No nostalgia here. Got sick of seeing the same ten top posts for two days.
I'm actually happy to move on. Seriously, reddit has been hot shit for quite a while now.... I'm just happy others are finally doing something about it.
