Asklemmy

Just today, some hours ago.

Purged everything this morning bar for one last comment on the Apollo thread. Currently using kbin.social - exploring my options, but I wont be returning to Reddit.

Not quite, but I also don’t really want to go back to reddit. I’m seeing some great alternatives on the rise, so I can sense I’ll be deleting the profile at some point. Just haven’t pulled that trigger yet.

I have deleted Apollo off of my phone, but I plan to still use the few tiny sub reddit communities that I enjoy. However, I am actively avoiding r/all and major subs that are just meme factories.

I did - this rings too reminiscent of Twitter for me. I really dislike the native app, and the desktop app is all but unusable on my devices (why? I have no idea, we’re talking recent MacBooks with the m-series processors and gaming PC’s…). I also really dislike ads, and while I think there were options available to pay Reddit for no ads (premium?) it didn’t feel like my subscription money was going to the right place since Reddit is all user generated content. Unlike platforms like YouTube, where the users who create the content openly discuss how their revenue is generated, I’m not even sure the money I would pay to Reddit for premium would benefit the content creators on their site. So yeah, I’m really not going to struggle to use Reddit anymore. RIP Apollo.

I removed all my posts and comments but kept account alive, at best I'll be lurking.

Planning on deleting my alt accounts, however I'm not going to delete my main account, I will just programmatically delete all my posts and comments.

I suspect that deleting accounts won't be what Reddit is looking at anyway, all they'll care about is ad revenue, and my accounts which were not generating any revenue will not bother them in the slightest.

Just deleted my 3yo account with lots of juicy karma in it, also 2 alts

Just did it, no ragrets

Haven't pulled the plug fully. But all my posts and comments are now deleted. I think I'll be checking infrequently after the blackout just to see where they end up. Maybe then I'll delete the account too.

I've been a long time user on Reddit. Just deleted all my posts and comments (been mostly a lurker, so not much there) using shreddit, then deleted my Reddit account and uninstalled the app (Boost - loved it) from my phone. I'm done with Reddit, the AMA and behaviour of u/spez and the other Reddit admins was just too much.

I hope I get some time back from stupidly browsing Reddit, but also don't want to miss out on some of the communities (r/adventofcode specifically, hope they make it over to Lemmy at some point).

Deleted my posts, deleted my comments, account will be active until the 30th then I’ll probably delete that too.

It sucks - I had some 20K comment karma on about 2000 posts over 13+ years - but they’ve burnt that bridge and I’m not giving them anything back.

If I need to create a burner account at some point down the road then that’ll happen but I just don’t want to engage with it any more.

I’ve deleted all my content (by hand—there wasn’t much), and I plan to delete my account on June 30 before Apollo stops working.

I have a lot of things saved so I'll probably keep it until I can extract what I want to keep.

I deleted my accounts earlier this week (before the AMA). I decided I could just make a new one in the future if that ever was a thing, and I’d rather not contribute to their line charts of “active users”, and rather would appear on those for “accounts deleted in the last 30 days”.

For me it was a symbolic reminder that I don’t want to lurk there and deleting my account was an action I remember. I hope they follow the direction of Twitter and Instagram by making the platform unusable without an account, further cementing more barriers for me.

I emptied the content from each comment I made. Then I deleted my accounts. I'm glad to be part of these new communities and conversations.

Already deleted all content a couple of years ago and was just lurking. Did notice that it became a chore, especially when boys became prevalent. Forced closure of 3rd party apps was the straw that broke this camels back. It’s a shame because it’s been roughly ten years or so and Reddit truly devolved

I have to be 100% honest, probably won't delete it

Though come the 12th I'll be uninstalling Relay and hopefully make something of Lemmy

I am watching the show and will keep doing that till 30th. It feels like a social experiment, I am curious to see how different sub-communities will react. Sort if similar to what happened with twitter, the day elon pulled a spez I deleted my account.

I hadn't really actively engaged with Reddit in years, and I stopped lurking almost cold turkey when they killed off the personal homepage on the mobile web interface earlier this year. I deleted my account when the Apollo news broke (I've never even used a third-party app, but it's crystal-clear what direction the wind is blowing). I only found out about lemmy after I pulled the plug.

Now to figure out how mastodon and all the other "fediverse" apps work :-)

I'll try to back up all the content I created over the years (mostly memes) and my comments, but I don't feel like using Reddit anymore.

It was convenient, but their business practices are a slap in the face of too many users, mods and devs.

I deleted mine nearly directly on the spot when the news about shutting out 3rd-party apps hit the net. No big deal.

I will probably wait until r/programmerhumor goes dark to delete

I did a week ago, before all this went down. Just kept having terrible experiences interacting with people. After 15 years on reddit I was done with it. Deleted my account immediately. Then followed by regret for not backing up my saved section or removing my old comments. :(

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

I'm kind of emotionally attached to my main and alt account to do that, yet.

I deleted the app but not my account. I thought about going back someday, but honestly I don't think I will. The last few days without reddits pessimistic view (at least how I see it) have actually been great.

I did,it was hard cause it had 10 years of memories on it but these new changes and the way leadership is acting I know if I where to not delete them I would come crawling back at some point rather just quit cold turkey

I haven't yet, but will do on the 30th (after running Redact) before Sync stops working. What I have done is requested my data, removed all the posts and customisation from the subs I moderate (r/fryup being the biggest at 30k users) and set them to private.

I used the power delete suite to get a backup of all my shit, change all comments to "bye reddit" and then delete them. I'm done with reddit unless spez is gone and they back track waaaay the fuck back
