Why do you care about your account? I swap to a new Reddit account every 6-12 months. It literally means nothing. You can resub to everything you had before and it’s like you never left. I feel no love towards my account at all, it’s a tool for enabling me to engage, nothing more.
I grow attached to things. I still keep a 10 year-old laptop with a 10-year old (rolling) Linux installation on it. I put over 500K miles on a car. I was once married for 10 years. That kinda thing. To each their own, I guess ;)
I know what you mean. I've posted some comments that I know have been useful because I get replies years later, from people who've googled the topic. I don't want to remove any of that, but I'll just leave it dormant.
If this is my new home, I'll be less attached to that Reddit account over time.
I'm the same. My account is 11 years old. I created it when I was 14 - I'm 25 now. I like the ability to read through comments that my teenage self wrote :-)
