Last April, I left my Twitter account, but without deleting it, to keep more than 10 years of posts for archiving (tutorials, brushes, threads, etc...). I also wanted to occupy the namespace to avoid seeing an account doing impersonation. Then I uninstalled the app, stopped reading my TL, and put all this in the background...
But when a friend told me yesterday that it was a good thing I had left Tw early, I felt bad that I still had that dormant account.
I deleted it as soon as I got home.
@davidrevoy I was considering doing this to my reddit account.
I feel at home on Lemmy now and leaving lots of content I contributed there doesn't hurt the platform.
@eskuero Good reminder about Reddit.
Take your time with your account, only do the deletion if you feel you'll have no regrets about it. And not because of pressure of a group. Just for personal cleaning, as cleaning desk, a disk, etc...
I still have mine. But it is also in quarantine for a very long time.
And bang, summer cleaning continues! I remember being proud of the 1.6K karma thing at one point. I'm so easy to buy with gamification and points like that.
Deleted.
@davidrevoy @eskuero thanks for the measured take on this. I've stopped posting there, but I haven't gotten around to archiving and scrambling my posts because I have an extremely bad case of LIFE right now.
