    I think the biggest impact is if we all delete our accounts, comments and content. Leaving half of Reddit threads filled with [removed] comments and dead Links.

      After my first full day of Lemmy and Mastodon, I’m just about ready to delete my reddit account.

          Yes but that’s essentially a chicken and egg thing.

          I want more content too, but for more content we need more users, but we need content to draw in users.

          So, I can only control myself, but my plan is to:

          • Post more than I did on reddit. Post, not comment. Not even OC, just linking articles, ask topics, etc

          • vote more liberally than I would have on reddit. Not indiscriminately, but less stingy. Certainly if I’m responding to you I should be up voting you, in the original spirit of the up vote button

      Yes, I have multiple accounts, some of which are over a decade old. I am getting ready to delete all my old accounts in the next day or so, but I will keep one of my newer accounts as a backup incase they back down.
