I'm kind of emotionally attached to my main and alt account to do that, yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

My account is one I made for work related purposed and has ~140 karma with very little identifiable information about me. I won't delete it, but I'm no longer using Reddit as a time-waster. I'm diversifying and have signed up here, kbin, Mastodon and PixelFed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I have not deleted it yet in hopes that they will roll back / cancel the api changes. I will not be using it until they do however. Lemmy seems like a really wholesome place so far.

I'm not deleting, just abandoning. I had another person step up to mod the only community I was modding.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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 don't really want to delete content potential googlers could stumble upon and be helped by, but I've replaced the Relay shortcut on my homescreen with a Jerboa shortcut. That's as good as deleted cause that's all I access reddit through.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I deleted my accounts every few years anyway

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I did,it was hard cause it had 10 years of memories on it but these new changes and the way leadership is acting I know if I where to not delete them I would come crawling back at some point rather just quit cold turkey

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Not yet. I will do so by the end of June.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I plan to, but I also plan to do it fully - going through saved links and bookmarking or documenting relevant recipes/guides/etc, removing all the comment history, etc etc.

I'm not really good at doing that in a timely manner. I have so many big projects, and smaller projects, that have been postponed for so long. It's just another thing on the list.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I am going to wait until the blackout in two days I think. If reddit doesn't back down on their decision I am going to delete the app.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I've already deleted my reddit account a few days ago, never gonna use reddit for the foreseeable future.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I value my content and the communities too much (despite its problems). I won't be deleting my account, and definitely not the content I posted.

I don't know yet what will happen to my usage and contribution level. Maybe it will only be on desktop PC from now on. We will see.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used the power delete suite to get a backup of all my shit, change all comments to "bye reddit" and then delete them. I'm done with reddit unless spez is gone and they back track waaaay the fuck back

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

Deleted yesterday right after the post from Christian detailing the scummy way in which Reddit was treating him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Deleted my account & the 3rd party app on my phone. I'm only checking select subreddits through Libreddit (until it stops working).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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