Gotta be honest, watching the titles of the posts getting deleted made me a bit nostalgic, because it was an almost 5yo account.

However, now that's old news, and my account is totally gone.

I won't miss it really, I like Lemmy a lot more.

This is only the case if it's less than 1000 posts or comments

Can't you just keep running it over an over?

Nope. Reddit orphans posts and comments from accounts. I don't know the hows or whys.

Last week I stumbled on a 15 year account who tried to do a full wipe before abandoning reddit. Their last and only comment in their profile is their farewell message. Except when you Google search their username it shows their content is still there. Just not associated to their profile page anymore.
