how many of you have genuinely ditched reddit? (aussie.zone)

due to the rolling blackout... I think it's had its effect.

I think I am done with reddit.

it's a shame because as someone who doesn't use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don't get online.

I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit.

anyway, I'm just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?

I've deleted my posts and comments using a userscript to overwrite them prior to deletion. I haven't deleted the account yet however as I don't think private subs let you delete your comments. If you want recommendations for this Power Delete Suite is the easiest to use but may stop working with the API changes from what I've heard. Better Reddit Delete is one of many userscripts to delete your history. You will need a user script manager such as Greasemonkey for Firefox

Long term I plan to move some of my subs to RSS feeds from Teddit. I will likely also have Libreddit as a PWA on my phone with all of my existing communities added.

For the small amount of communities I interact with that I don't see moving to the Fediverse I'll access them through Old Reddit only. I'll likely make multiple accounts to separate interests and delete them / make new ones after a certain amount of time.

thank you for the tip for PDS -- I decided to bite the bullet and just do it.

account is cleared, going to wait until EOM to see if anything is restored and then i'll delete my account too.
