And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.

… And I realized I hadn’t been there for a week… And frankly didn’t miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I’m happy to be here. :)

    I just deleted my account which was over 10 years old. I don’t need that kind of negativity. Only positivity from here on out. Keep being awesome Lemmy.

      I probably won’t delete my reddit account until the subreddits that I’m relatively active in gain a bigger presence on Lemmy, but if that happens, bye bye reddit.

      11 year old account here, I’m getting ready to pull the trigger. So much time spent on niche subs that will be hard to replace, but I suppose that means I should be more active in any similar counterparts on Lemmy to help them grow and flourish.

        16-year-old account for me. I probably won’t delete it, because it doesn’t do me any good to do that, but I’m not really showing up anymore. Especially after I have to delete Apollo.

      I don’t have that fortitude yet, haha. My account is from 2007. Have my little Colbert Rally badge on it from a goofier, tighter-knit time on Reddit. Feels more like a monument than a home now, though.

      Thats true, mean if somethings just constantly giving you grief rather than any enjoyment then how much good is it really to be using it? Lifes already enough of a pain lol
