I deleted my 12 year 100k account at 11:59p Friday night. Had redact edit every old comment then delete them and closed the account. Some of my Google searches are still landing me over there. I don’t even know what it would take to put me there permanently, again. I’m just hoping I can cultivate my experience here, enough, so that I won’t have to find out.
We should never go back no matter what. Imagine a world where email was centralized and theres was a monopoly company behind it and they started abusing their power. If the open email protocol came out and everyone switched to it, would you ever go back to the monopoly? Centralized monopolies always corrupt eventually. Any opportunity we have to distribute control, we should jump on it.
I noticed googling my reddit username still showed links to posts I deleted with my name in the Google description. Clicking showed it was deleted content with no videos/images left.
It’s probably just cached. If you want to get fancy maybe a DMCA takedown notice will get it removed?

I did power delete suite and replaced all my comments before deletion. I searched for my name and only one best of comment came up, the rest came up as lemmy comments.
Same here… i just quit cold turkey after ~15 years. I just tell myself I can do it again. I pinned the lemmy to my phone so it feels like RIF, just has less content. Thats why we are here though.
