I understand this take. For me, though, I wasn't willing to let reddit to continue to make ad revenue from my posts/comments (e.g. from their turning up in google search results) or sell them for LLM-shenanigans (of course, my comments can be scraped off lemmy just the same, but at least a megacorp isn't claiming ownership over them).

I don't regret it at all, either. It feels rather refreshing to not have that trail floating around on the internet anymore (well, mostly. I'm sure I didn't catch everything.)
