Brisbane

Done with it and deleted acct last week

For me the move wasn't hard to be honest, reddit for me is just hell scrolling (or whatever the term is) to get some news some memes and just keep up with games, and the occasional porn.

I thought about moving to lemmy before the blackout for the sake of easier piracy seeing how they made the move as a backup.

The only thing I miss is the centralized communities, for example in lemmy you have the technology community in several instances splitting the community (unless I'm just confusing on how it works) and the fact that you can't make a custom feed

Otherwise, don't miss reddit.

I'll still be using it going forward as a resource, but perhaps not as a community, if it ever really was one. It still exists as the foremost way to cull out blogspam (and now AIspam) from Google search results. So if I'm looking for discussions on a new carbon steel pan, Google will probably direct me to a Reddit thread and that's fine. Hopefully in a year we'll all be appending (lemmy|kbin|tildes) to search queries instead.

As far as a community, oof it's not looking good. Steve Huffman this week just kept finding new ways to keep digging, to keep insulting the community, and to keep straight-up lying. The fact that he apparently idolizes Musk and considers him more of a role model than a cautionary tale leads me to suspect that he's going to continue to antagonize the community and I'll probably end up editing/deleting my comments by the end of the month.

I’ve left! I’ve found a good balance by having an account for both Kbin and Mastodon. It might be redundant once Kbin federates better with Mastodon content and has a good app, but for now it’s nice to have.

I look at small subs that have no replacement to look for good content to post on Lemmy. For example if someone posts a nice fan art with a link to the original artist on Reddit, I take that link to the original post and post it on Lemmy. This is necessary to kick start small communities.

Not yet. But I do have some letting go issues. Reddit still has historical data. But I'll guess that's also stored in different places now, only to become available in the future. The way it's heading now is down the drain. If this guy stays on, it'll also be hard to repair the damage and have faith/trust again. That being said, I'm really starting to like Lemmy. I hope that all content and communities transfer to this lovely Fediverse. I has it's quirks to work out. But my time on reddit is getting an all time low, whilst my time on Lemmy is starting to grow. It'll be very cool if Lemmy, replaces Reddit.

I haven't used my account since the blackout. I have gone to the site occasionally if I Google something and the answer shows reddit though. My wife hasn't used reddit and is waiting for me to "cave" but I haven't been tempted. The first day was the hardest but now I just use Lemmy. Looking forward to some more polish on the jerboa app but can't complain about anything else really.

I'm here now, trying to wean myself off relay. So far I've found the thunder app for Android to be the nicest.

Does anyone use any developmental kbin apps yet or is that not a thing?

All posts deleted. Keeping the account but not really posting anymore.

I can't go back. Digg was abandoned for less.

I deleted all my posts on Reddit last weekend, then my account — if I can’t use Apollo, then they’re not going to get the benefit from my post history (7 years). Looking for something else. Happy with Lemmy so far, open to suggestions of others. Left Facebook and Twitter ten years ago, tried Facebook again for a few weeks, a few months ago; it’s much worse than I remembered. Deleted my account there too.

I’m trying to be done with it. I spent way too much time there anyway just scrolling through anything. Haven’t been back since the blackout. Saved myself loads of time in the process. It’s good to see so many other folk here now too.

I'm on there only once a day very briefly to upvote protesters, and for work. And when I accidentally click a search result, which is a tough habit to kick.

I'm in the process of understanding this Fediverse. Trialing Lemmy also but the login is unbearable. Can't even get into my account. I've already created one.

I have, although I'm only a lurker. I understand the concerns of the moderators and regular posters and decided to support them by not giving my attention and time to the website. I've subscribed to some of the communities here and enjoying it thus far. I'll try not to peak and get most of solutions else where but it's going to be an uphill task for me, who tries to find every answer in Reddit.

If I can get regular interactions here around certain topics like Brisbane, Aussie Politics, and ice hockey then not going back will just be a fairly natural profession for me. Yes, I don't like how they made the API changes but more than that, I'm not going to install their app. Once my 3rd party app of choice stopped working (I use Joey and it's still free and working for now) I'll just fall off.

I've uninstalled the app - only had it to participate in r/place anyway, been taking up space since then. I'm still checking it once or twice a day on BaconReader, but seeing a lot of changes to my feed and general user participation. I'm not participating other than scrolling, and that's extremely limited.

I'm burning through my comment history with Redact right now and left all my subs. I plan on keeping an account exclusively for my local sub, but I haven't decided if I'm going to keep using mine or spinning up a new one. I already burned my 15 year old account to spite a catty super mod who banned me from 10 or so subs at once I certainly don't care about this one lmao

I still use it but I'm no longer as active as I was.

I wish all my subreddits could have federated alternatives, but I'm not really tech savvy enough to make them on my own nor do I want the responsibility of being the admin, if I did have the know-how.

Haven't been back since the blackout started, and I'll only go back before June 30 to verify that Power Delete Suite has done its job properly.

Removed my account and edited all posts the day the blackout started.

I ditched my account(6years) and deleted every comment, I've asked for my data that was ever collected by them to be sent and after I will ask for account deletion with email confirmation as is written in GDPR. I did this to Twitter before Musk took over, Facebook, Instagram and all of them complied and I was scared/impressed of how many info they keeped.

I've ditched all social media beside reddit in 2017 and reddit now.

I deleted my accounts on June 10 and never looked back.

I'm done with the website, I'm not even gonna miss it.

Exited completely. Logged on once to edit a bunch of comments, may do that again and see if they've been reverted.

Not missing it half as much as I thought I would.

I was a Reddit user for 9 years. I ditched it on TikTok to prove to people that they don't control you.

Deleted my 11 yo accounts after the disastrous AMA and only took a peek during blackouts to see what it would look like. No Apollo = no Reddit. Actually, I'm not even sure I would go back if Reddit magically reversed everything, because now we have learned so much about what a shitty, disrespectful place it is towards its users. Restoring users' deleted posts and comments is way WAY over the line. The Reddit Files also sound like they will be interesting...

I'm keeping my account to vote in polls for staying dark, but I'm just searching rather than using the home page

I don't plan to ditch Reddit. But I'm extremely pessimistic about Reddit's future due to the horrible decisions the CEO has made.

I don't think Reddit will die immediately from this. There will be months, maybe years, of activity. But the crippling blow has been dealt. The community (even if it returns to Reddit) has lost trust and faith in the leadership and administrators. And I don't think that trust will be won back, ever.

I do feel for Huffman's predicament. His job is to turn this company profitable, when it has never been profitable before. I don't know if I would have performed "as well" as he has, and I likely would have been a worse leader in many respects.

Overwrote my comments then deleted them all. Keeping the account on the off chance something changes or I need to ask a question and need enough karma etc,, but don't plan on going back unless I absolutely have to. I will miss it a bit, but I'll have a heap more free time now.

Nearly all the subreddits I would actively follow, have gone dark so there's really nothing there for me besides scrolling the main page for 2 minutes

I ditched it a while ago.

I'm so happy to see people here. The fediverse is alive!

I have deleted all my comments, deleted my account after 15 years. Yeah, I am done.
