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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

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 think I'm still holding out hope that they will come to their senses, but I'll probably delete eventually.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just deleted it, I hope the future for the fediverse goes down right.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, I had been teetering, I like the idea of a FOSS public solution. I still fondly remember nntp before it was ruined. It reminds me of Reddit in many ways.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'll keep my reddit until Sync stop working.

[–] nLuLukna 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I refuse to uninstall boost, and once I figure out how to delete all my posts, the I will be deleting my account.

Didn't delete my reddit account and probably won't. Just leaving it abandoned and lurk every once in a while.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I just decided to move here permanently myself.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm currently downloading all my stuff, saved and upvoted posts etc. After that, we'll see.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've wiped my author account and main account.

But I won't delete the accounts because fuck them, they don't get to recycle those. I could delete the account under this name, because it was just my alt for moderating, and it's such an inside joke that only maybe five people would get that it isn't worth deleting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yup. Deleted my 10 year old account yesterday.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm selling mine, apparently it's 50.000? Right?
