I deleted my account as part of the Great Reddit Exodus of 2023 but have periodically visited the site since without an account.

Many of the posts I see now seem really sensationalist and almost like they were created by bots. Of course, maybe Reddit was always that way and it just some time being away for me to realize that.

It looks like Lemmy.world communities do not get regularly indexed on search engines. Is this because of the system architecture, or is it for some other reason?

It’s amazing how much batteries have increased in price since Covid.

Thanks for reminding everyone of this. The gas savings over time will probably end up being the same, or less, than a starter on an older vehicle. Of course, if you’re not planning on keeping the vehicle until it dies, this is less of an issue for you.

We need to start posting.

So sort of create a read-only Lemmy instance that re-creates the accounts and posts from archived Reddit?

I deleted my Reddit account as well. People deleting 10-year-plus accounts will make a larger statement than a couple of days of silent subs.

Reddit has control over granting mod access to new people for rebellious subs. It doesn’t have control over my use or non-use of the platform.
