Have you left reddit forever? Have you deleted your account and posts? Just curious

I want to stay gone. I’m banned and can’t go back on the reddit app so Apollo was the only way I could post. That being said, I want something to replace it and I’m not sure what that’s gonna be right now. I mean it wouldn’t be the worst thing for me back on there and not allowed to say anything but sometimes I do like to ask question. Hopefully something positive happens but I’m not holding out much hope

I toyed with the idea of triggering a ban on my account, on purpose. I just need to log into the account that was banned years ago, edit something, and BANG! automatic detection bans my current account. Then you'd get a bunch of people claiming that I was banned because my account criticises Reddit, that would further fuel the fire.

The only reason that I don't do this is moral. I don't mind small immoral acts but this steps over the line for me, as I'd be effectively lying to other users.

My only issue with Lemmy is the lack of a "multi-reddit" where I separate the communities I've joined into themed feeds. Other than that, It's pretty cozy here.

Today is my cake day on Reddit. The fourth one, and hopefully the last one.

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

I left my account, but deleted my posts. Not going back, only miss a few things like the BestOf board. That sub declined for sure but reliably had good content.

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

I had created an account almost 3 years ago. This reddit API apocalypse reminded me of lemmy. Considering, the subpar experience. It would be stupid to not be on lemmy. I still have my reddit account and posts but, after the blackout and the subpar experience my activity has been super reduced.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll be staying, delted most posts & changed all comments to a link to join lemmy. Most likely delete the whole thing soon.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you use a script for that or do you do it manually ?

I was already annoyed with the direction of Reddit. The community became worse and worse over the years. Absolutely inundated with repost bots. I've been pushing away from social media in general for the past like 10 years. I was ready for an alternative, this was the last push I needed. The fediverse feels like an exciting fresh start. I'm done with reddit, and twitter. I'll still use Reddit to make search results tolerable, but if communities pick up here, it'll become less useful in that regard.

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

I deleted all my comments along with my account. I'm not contributing to any platform that is corporate owned walled garden. Lemmy is much more in line with my ethos and I'll happily contribute to it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I will definitely be sticking around. I do wish lemmy.ml hadn't taken quite such a huge bite of the FOSS sandwich. Most my interests lay in answering and asking questions about the software projects I use daily. And the lemmy.ml server is crushed. Wish there was a Libera(IRC server where many FOSS projects live) lemmy. That would have made sense to me.

EDIT. Corrected Limmy to Lemmy. I keep doing that...

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

I'm leaving my account intact for two reasons. First to keep a log of past comments. Second to make comments encouraging mod teams to move to lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'll be staying. I do tend to be more of a lurker than a commenter, but generally that was because on reddit most anything I was going to say had already been said. I enjoy the "feel" of Lemmy, and I am very appreciative of all of the content contributers.

I wanted to switch anyway as soon as lemmy is half-decently ready and has some users. This ist just a very good opportunity at the moment to ditch reddit for good. Not because I hated reddit all along or something like that but because I love federated, free (as in freedom) alternatives, especially when they're written in rust :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I plan on making Lemmy my main go to and MAYBE occasionally jump on Reddit for some of the niche subs I'm part of. When I do go on reddit I'll be blanket blocking ads.

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

I plan to. At this point even though I do think Reddit could walk back the changes in a way that is mutually accepted, I have zero faith they would be willing to actually make the changes needed to incur enough good will. I rarely if ever commented and won't delete my account (for access to old content viewed and subreddits subscribed to help seek them out here) but definitely not planning on going back.

Still looking both here and at tildes though.

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

This is my very first comment.

I'm eyeing right now, but it already reminds of Old Reddit, so I may stay. I was there to see Digg die, and now Reddit fall.

I just hope for a good active community.

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

I deleted my account and all my posts because of this whole debacle. I will not be returning to reddit, EVER... They burned their bridge with me.

I am now permanently on Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm on kbin but yeah, I plan to stay. Most of what I saw on Reddit wasn't even relevant to my interests because their algorithms kept pushing random shit at me. I'm happy to really tailor my own experience here. Goodbye, my 80k karma

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

What is kbin? I don't get it.

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

I'd prefer Lemmy. Since there are still many subs missing, I don't delete my Reddit yet. I just don't login there for at least two weeks. If Lemmy still exists then, I guess we are over it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I deleted all accounts except for one that I‘m still emotionally attached to. I downloaded a copy of my data and then… well I‘ll use Lemmy as my main platform for now and see how it goes. Then when my Apollo is dead, hopefully I‘ll have no reason to look at Reddit much at all.

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

How long did it take to get your data download? I put mine in like a week ago and haven't gotten it yet. Waiting for that to nuke my comments and delete.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

tbh, it still sucks here lol, but i'm open to the plan on staying here as well as reddit if Lemmy can at least improve to be comparable to Reddit.
