Asklemmy

I don’t think I’m going to delete, but I don’t think I will engage.

I did a week ago, before all this went down. Just kept having terrible experiences interacting with people. After 15 years on reddit I was done with it. Deleted my account immediately. Then followed by regret for not backing up my saved section or removing my old comments. :(

I’ll be deleting my 10+ year account once Apollo dies. May lurk in a few communities for a bit until there’s something similar here.

Fully deleted. Never going back. To be honest, I was looking for a reason to get off. Glad it’s done.

Not yet but I haven’t used it since the Apollo drama.

I didn't delete my account, but my local community and I have switched to Discord and Lemmy. I think I'm now spending more time on these two services than on Reddit.

Just did it. removed everything with the PowerDelete script, then deleted my 12 year old account. Sad. I deleted all comments, too. Like many people here I find it sad, that this information is gone, but I do not want to give reddit traffic for my personal content.

Just deleted RiF in anticipation of the blackout. Ill check it again on the first of next month and if it doesn't exist or work ill be gone for good. Going to suck, mainly need to find a new source for news, possibly on youtube or here, just enough to be up to date.

I've deleted all the posts in my 12 year account but I find it hard to nuke the whole account.

They sure aren't going to make any more money off of me though.

UPDATE: I pulled the plug

I've deleted my comments and posts and find Reddit then restored them a few hours later.

So I've written some Python to delete them automatically and have it run on a schedule. Fuck 'em. A week later and Reddit are still restoring my data for the script to delete.

I don't plan on deleting my reddit accounts to be honest, I put way too much work in them, plus they have some saved posts that I really need and use as a reference from time to time. Also, there are some communities there that I don't believe will shift over here (for some, I am sure they won't, since they're other not that big amd moderation is not a problem for them), so I'll mostly be using Lemmy and Reddit interchangeably.

I've been lurking on regularly cycled usernames, so that was pretty easily done. I haven't deleted Slide yet, but since it'll stop working on 30th, that's a given. I'm going to try my best to help build up the niche communities like hardware focused ones on lemmy

My plan is to drop and delete Reddit on June 30th.

What I have not figured out yet, is where to post my goodbye. Any ideas?

I plan to, and almost certainly will by the end of the month.
I'm sticking around just long enough to see how the blackout goes and to watch a bit of the resulting dumpster fire after tho.

RIP to RIF

I deleted the app but not my account. I thought about going back someday, but honestly I don't think I will. The last few days without reddits pessimistic view (at least how I see it) have actually been great.

Deleted my 14 year old account today.

I deleted my accounts every few years anyway

I already deleted all my comments and posts and when the time comes and RIF is down I'll delete my whole account.

Just did it yesterday after realizing that the only real use Reddit got was bookmarking funny cats and doom scrolling. Twitter is next, just gotta save some "useful media" first

I see no particular need to delete my account or any of its content, personally. I know it's everybody's own decision but frankly it strikes me as kind of needlessly destructive, like torching a restaurant because you no longer enjoy eating there. Other people still do, there's no reason to take it from them.

If Reddit evolves in such a way that I no longer find it useful or enjoy going there, I'll just stop. I'm actually happy if my old data remains useful to others - lots of times I go searching Google for information and wind up in an old Reddit thread, for example.

No, but I'm migrating most of my usage here. Some small subreddits will probably never be replicated here and I like talking about smaller games and bands sometimes.

Purged everything this morning bar for one last comment on the Apollo thread. Currently using kbin.social - exploring my options, but I wont be returning to Reddit.

I've barely got any posts on there, so I've kind of just left my account for now. I'll purge it later on once I feel like all of my niche communities I need are elsewhere.

I however, do not visit it more than once a day now though, and I expect that frequency to drop-off (primarily for local level news right now - too small to expect them to migrate elsewhere for now)

I’m waiting til after the blackout. Afterwords I’m pulling the plug.

Mate I deleted my account as soon as they announced the API change.

I know that BS trajectory. Reddit has been killing off the mobile website for a while, probably going for the old reddit too.

Fuck 'em.

I haven't yet, but will do on the 30th (after running Redact) before Sync stops working. What I have done is requested my data, removed all the posts and customisation from the subs I moderate (r/fryup being the biggest at 30k users) and set them to private.

I've deleted my 16 years worth of comments and post history. I now spend my time between here and Tildes, and just go back to reddit watch it burn.
