No more Reddit for me. I deleted my account

i only use it when i have to, I mainly come on here as well as kbin.

Not that reddit will notice (adblock etc.) but haven't visited all week. Kind of enjoying avoiding it TBH.

I deleted my account on Wednesday. I loved Reddit, but without RIF it's useless to me. Also the more I read about the Fediverse the more I think it's the proper way for social media to work in the future of the Internet.

I have the boost for reddit app. To me that's reddit. When that stops working I'll delete the app and that will be the end of it. Hopefully one day there will be a boost for lemmy.

I have. I hardly ever commented on Reddit but am trying to make more of an effort here. I'll go if there's some tech solution or game guide in a specific comment that Google leads me to, but no longer will I use it for idle browsing.

Created an account here yesterday, and deleted my Reddit account a couple hours later.

Life is too short to deal with greedy asshole CEOs.

I'm still using it, but less. When my preferred app dies at the end of the month here, I'll probably stop altogether.

I deleted my accounts, I pop over there from time to time to check out specific subs that don't have an equivalent here yet, but that's not very often.

I've been on Reddit a few times since the 'official blackout' ended but mostly been on Lemmy. I deleted one off my accounts. The other I've just used to browse a little. I'm not posting, commenting, or voting on anything. Probably once rif and old.reddit die, I'll be done. I've never had the misfortune to view new reddit or the official app and I don't plan to start now.

Yeah I'm done with Reddit unless they do a big 180. Which I doubt they will.

Feels icky to go there, now that I know how they conduct themselves.

Closed both of my accounts yesterday. The bummer is that I recently purchased BaconReader before the API enforcement was shoved into our faces. No way am I going to support shady business practices like Reddit's. I'm here to stay on Lemmy.

Yep, all contents and accounts gone. I can really hold a grudge. And quitting Facebook, then insta then twitter was followed by an increase in my happiness, so it’s a huge incentive. Nothing is going away, nothing is being lost. People, the real value of these platforms, still exist, and will repopulate other platforms with content really fast.

I deleted all my accounts, posts, and comments. Been on the site since around 2009 in one way or another. I'm all in on Lemmy and doing my part by submitting content to subs so there's some activity.

haven't been back since the blackout, when temptation hits I come here instead. I've also picked up reading again. I think maybe I'll use reddit if I need advice on some product or something.

I have definitely been a lot more active around here. A lot of people talk about deleting their old accounts, but I have a hard time bringing myself to do that to mine, not because I want to be active on Reddit, but just because there is a lot of history that I'm anxious about losing I guess.

I have not visited reddit logging in since last Sunday. I've gone to a couple subreddits from a browser not logged in to see if they were still private. I uninstalled RIF after like 12 years of use.

I’m there a little at the moment whilst my apps of choice (Apollo and ReddPlanet) are still operational. However it’s nothing g like it used to be (the blackout has worked from that regard) and I’m over here more often now.

This website is really promising!! I already like you can see # of upvotes and downvotes on a comment and can add pictures and stuff to your comment. I've been here for a solid 10 minutes though

I had 2 accounts, one 14 years old and one 12. Both are now deleted.

I haven’t looked at Reddit since the eve of the Reddit Blackout. I switched to kbin and moved Apollo to a second iPhone Home Screen I call “The Memorial to Great iOS Apps Killed by Assholes” (it also contains Twitterrific).

I’ve added the web app icon for kbin to where Apollo used to be, and good old muscle memory has taken care of any absent-minded Reddit visits that might otherwise happen.

I have. I have a lot of respect for Christian and his Apollo App. It was the only way I browsed Reddit. Also going forward, it will never be the same over there. I'm enjoying kbin so far though!

Account 100% deleted.
All comments, posts, and votes wiped.

I never had good experiences there, was often too anxious to participate and quickly reminded doing so was a bad idea.

Good riddance.

I found a home in Reddit when Digg v4 happened. After many years, I wound up deleting my Reddit account and using it 100% anonymously as a pure consumption content aggregator. I'm here on kbin now and restarting my engagement with the content. It feels fun again! I just wish we had a catchy name like Digg v4 to call this Reddit exodus.

As an aside I didn't consume Reddit at all during the blackouts in solidarity even as an anonymous consumer, but when I returned it was full of trash and Reddit quadrupled down on their shitty position so I deleted the apps and have added all the Reddit owned domains to my pinhole alongside Facebook/Meta, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

If there is archived content I need to access for support or finding advice, I'll be using the fediverse and archive.org from now on.

Yeah, I'm not going back.

I haven’t touched it since about 2 days before the blackout. Hoping there’s a decent app for iOS soon for kbin.

Honestly, really depends on

A. How well Lemmy/Fediverse will do. B. How bad the user experience on Reddit will be on July 1st

I'm liking Lemmy at the moment, not having the tons of spam bots really feels like a breath of fresh air.

In the end, it's all about the experience for me. I'm ready to ditch Reddit if the alternative is good

Effectively I have. My account still exists but is only subbed to Tildes (Trying to snag an invite) and Redditalternatives. Once RIF goes offline, I won't be accessing on mobile at all.

I've edited all my comments from the last year and working on automating that so I can redo it if they keep up with trying to roll them back.

But I don't browse reddit anymore. Still not 100% certain where I'll land and call home but I have three or four platforms I'm spending time with to see what feels right. I don't really care what reddit does now, it's irrelevant to me. Whether they succeed, fail, or alter their API plans, I'm indifferent. The trust is broken.

Not fully yet. Not all subreddits I browse have migrated or are planning to. I might slowly wean myself off it once the 3rd party apps stop working and I have enough of browsing old reddit on my phone.

I was already on the fediverse, though I still use reddit for some stuff, I probably will only post here and use reddit read-only from now on though. I did the same with twitter awhile back and now I just don't read twitter.

On a slight tangent I also found on the fediverse I get more engagement than on twitter or whatever, so I really never found it hard to move. While on twitter you might blow up and end up in the news (if you think thats a good thing lol), the fediverse your more likely to get actual engagement but your less likely to end up on the news. Though sometimes now you do! Which is weird lol.

Deleted everything 2 days before the blackout.

Also didn’t want to wait till the end of the month incase there was an influx of people at the end when the API becomes paid.

No regrets.

I've yet to find a good alternative to /r/Games, though their official Discord is pretty good.

Most of the gaming communities I've seen on Kbin/Lemmy are either a lot more specialized, or are overrun with non-news and discussion topics like memes, resulting in spaces more akin to /r/gaming

I don't have a problem with memes, but /r/Games was created specifically because spaces that allow lower effort content and a huge userbase tend to be flooded with it.

Ironically, the only interaction I have with reddit now are links posted to kbin/lemmy.

Occasionally a Google result. But I'm done with it, whatever I was getting from reddit I'm getting from Kbin now.

Ditched completely, I was a lurker on reddit, I had nothing to add to discussions. The #threadiverse feels like home, it's easy to engage and you get to talk to a lot of nice people.

I genuinely loaded it up perhaps 3 times in the last 5 days or so and those were on accident, with me leaving immediately again. I‘m committed to this in a similar way I am committed to quit smoking, ~280 days without a cigarette.

I haven't been back since the protest began and it's been generally fine. I miss a few communities, but I'm seeing some that I've liked at least beginning to have a presence here.

Me, I'm here to stay.

I used Reddit exclusively through third party apps, without them I have no want to use the site anymore.

And with spez proving how much of a massive bellend he is, it only reinforces my decision.

I was already on Mastadon after Twitter's meltdown but still used Reddit until all this stuff happened. Deleted my Reddit account and haven't looked back!

I've almost ditched it. The only traffic they get from me is when I search for something and add site:reddit.com out of instinct to filter out the SEO crap.

I will use it until the 30th. That day will mark the end of my Reddit journey.
