Thank you @ernest! Please consider setting up a Patreon, or similar, account so I can donate monthly. I've bought you a few coffees but I'd like it to be automatic.
Just a rant I wrote to read to myself during my deconstruction that I've added to with time. Sharing it here to help whoever might find it useful. Feedback or discussion is always welcome....
I created the powerlifting magazine over on lemmy and have been posting into the void there lol. Hopefully some people move over and use it. Otherwise it feels like I'm just using it as a personal blog or something.
I’ve been testing the Memmy client for the past couple of days and it’s been getting better pretty quickly. If you want to check it out: https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy
That was what persuaded me to delete as well. I was supporting the mods in /r/gis and mentioned that they should strike longer, and some user called me "fucking stupid," and mentioned some bs about how the subreddit is important because people find answers there via google.
So I edited every single one of my 11 years of comments to some text pointing people to Lemmy, and nuked my account. Haven't missed it since.
I sincerely hope that toxicity doesn't find its way here.
The tankie thing keeps pushing me away from lemmy, but lemmy seems to be the only software getting clients at the moment. So I'm torn. I want an iOS client badly, but I don't want to support tankies.
I suppose I shouldn't sell out for a nice app though.
Is there really a reason, for example, for there to be the distinction of "magazine" and "community"? When you're federating, the same features should be called the same, if close enough. That way everyone can talk with everyone about stuff and we all immediately understand each other....
I just hope we don't end up calling them "sublemmys" and whatnot, like what I keep seeing suggested. Let's just make a clean break with reddit and start something new and better.
What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?...
Ham radio. It's a lot of fun and has something for everyone. I like the outdoors, so I took my portable gear to a park and operated Parks on the Air today. There are all kinds of digital modes for people who love computers, there's morse code, there's using kites to hoist your antenna, hot air balloons, talking with the space station, etc. All kinds of stuff. If you're the least bit nerdy, it likely has something for you.

That's why I nuked all my posts and edited every one of my comments to point to kbin / lemmy before deleting my account. They may revert my changes, but I at least wanted to try to prevent them from benefiting from me in any way.
I'm a conversion student and am still in the process of learning, that I'm told will last all my life. I'm guessing learning the perfect challah recipe is part of this....
@ThaijsClan I changed about 4500 comments to an edited one pointing users to lemmy and kbin, along with instructions on how to choose an instance. Hopefully it'll direct at least a couple people here.

Personally I'm waiting for the 30th. I have a dream of crashing their servers with account deletion requests
