Reddit Migration

I haven’t made that mistake once

No regrets. No interest in going back. The future is federated.

14 year old account with lots comment activity. Deleted all of the posts and then the account the moment I understood what was going on.

Anyway everything on Reddit had been created in about a decade and something better be recreated again even faster. The above analogy of Reddit being a library is a bit off to my ears-- Reddit is not the content you find there, Reddit is the people; the expertise, the moderation, the consideration, the passion. We can safely burn the siphons tapped into people's passions and let the energies of the people pour elsewhere.

I started routinely deleting my comments anyhow after someone creeped me out by searching through my history for ammunition to use in an argument. I just deleted the five or six recent ones I hadn’t done yet, and that was that. I’ve kept my account because it might come in handy at some point, but I’ve only been on Reddit once in the past few weeks.

still have not done it. still have not recieved my data. got to get off my ass and email complain to them and maybe look to see how to make a gdpr complaint or how long before they are in violation

I haven't deleted mine, but I no longer visit the site. I mostly nuked the content on my account a few years ago. Sure there's some stuff now, but it's nothing important. I'm just leaving it there for convenience.

That said I'm mostly moving off of corporate owned media. I put links to my new stuff on my accounts on those sites.

No regrets. reddit basically made the choice for me.

I didn't delete my accounts, but i am going thru and deleting old comments, saving some of the best conversations i got to get so i can reread them

Had been on reddit for 12+ years, tons of accounts, ran a few small subs. Some insane supermod decided to fuck with me across the site so I nuked all my comments, accounts and subs and I'm done with it. Not having it on mobile since the third-party apps shutdown made it easy. I'll still peruse some interesting/hobby subs but I won't participate ever again. No regrets, the place is toxic.

Yes. I've deleted several previous Reddit accounts, and ended up losing some pretty good stuff. Meanwhile, I'm not deleting the ones I currently have as I still have use for Reddit.
