Interesting piece on #Reddit today includes some discussion of lemmy vs. kbin and good links:

Just completely nuked my main and alts, 15 and 10 years, respectively. Tens of thousands of comments and several thousand posts have been wiped.

New user here, its only been my first day here and I already like how helpful and kind many people are, here's hoping for more growth!
Based on observations of which subreddits are going dark/migrating and which ones are staying, IMO Reddit is about to swing hard toward conservative/fascist in the coming days/weeks.
Today I'm undertaking the effort of moving all my persistent post content relating to my projects from Reddit elsewhere. I think in the mid-term future Reddit will be as bad a name to be associated with as Voat or 8chan.
I'm thinking the same. I already nuked my 12 years of comments (I was a commenter, not a poster) and I'll delete the account at the end of this month.
What did you use to nuke it? Probably going to do the same on my 11yr account.
Are you also getting the feeling that this was the intention the whole time? To "clean house" as it were and cause an exodus by certain people they deemed to be...freeloading...or not conducive to their future bottom line? Those who tend to have a negative impact (or drag) on their advertising and investor pools?
Because that's been my feeling all along.
I just don't see how driving out old users that have years and years of quality comments could be a good idea.
