Haven’t pulled the plug but edited then deleted all of my comment history, unsaved all of my saves, and got situated with Lemmy (testing Mlem), in preparation. I’ll pull the plug on the 30th. Let me just say the transition so far has been better than expected. It took a bit for the sign up to get approved and the servers to catch up, but I think we will be just fine.

I deleted my 10 year old account and haven't looked back. It was all useless karma after all.
It will be a while until I consider Reddit replaced for me. There I subscribe to a ton of subs with only a few thousand people. Even if all of these already existed here, it would take some time to find them.
Yep, I had been teetering, I like the idea of a FOSS public solution. I still fondly remember nntp before it was ruined. It reminds me of Reddit in many ways.
I'm holding out with some copium for now. There's some local subs and niche subs that I'd like to still follow that will likely not migrate. I'll likely switch to RSS and old.reddit only once RIF dies and Lemmy and mastodon will likely be my mobile social media. I don't mind using multiple social media apps, but it'd be great to have it all in one place.
Deleted yesterday right after the post from Christian detailing the scummy way in which Reddit was treating him.
Deleted account history like many others (after a GPDR and manual export of everything). Going to delete my account just before the 30th, as I won't be able to use it anyway. For now I'm still somewhat lurking on Reddit, so to keep my list of subscribed subreddits, I have not deleted my account yet.
After the AMA yesterday, I made the decision to delete all of my posts and comments. I'm not sure I see a reason todeletee my account altogether as I think not giving traffic to Reddit is more important, so I left everything else the way it is. Maybe one of these days I'll go back through and delete everything for good.
All that said, like most other people here, I have no intention of going back, especially after yesterday, unless there's some sort of drastic change which is very unlikely.
My account is one I made for work related purposed and has ~140 karma with very little identifiable information about me. I won't delete it, but I'm no longer using Reddit as a time-waster. I'm diversifying and have signed up here, kbin, Mastodon and PixelFed.
I already deleted all the content of my account, I will probably delete the account when boost dies on June 30th.
I'll have no choice but to delete RIF after it shuts down, so I'll probably make the tough decision after that.
I'm going to leave the account, delete most of the old content and switch to posting links back to fediverse. Likely automated.
I haven’t yet. I’ll probably keep using Reddit until June 30th besides maybe the protest days next week. I’m not sure if I’ll delete my accounts after June 30th or not though in case I need them for a one-off use case in the future.
I will say that it’d be easier to delete my accounts now than a couple years ago. A couple years ago, I was trying to make sure I never lost access to my original Reddit account by changing my password to be more secure, but my password manager failed to save the new password. I got locked out of my original nearly 10 year old Reddit account with a bit of a rare username. The only reason I have access to it now is it’s still logged in through Apollo, but I guess I’ll lose it forever on June 30th. I guess it doesn’t matter if I’m trying to move here anyways.
Yep. I waited too long on Twitter. Not making the same mistake again.
I've deleted all the posts in my 12 year account but I find it hard to nuke the whole account.
They sure aren't going to make any more money off of me though.
How did you delete all posts? (My account is also ~12 years old and I would like to start to clean it. Once that is done, I will nuke the account.)
I need to go through all my saved posts, and then I will delete it. Just delaying it since I probably have 500 posts saved... will take ages
I've wiped my author account and main account.
But I won't delete the accounts because fuck them, they don't get to recycle those. I could delete the account under this name, because it was just my alt for moderating, and it's such an inside joke that only maybe five people would get that it isn't worth deleting.
I haven't yet, but I well might by the end of this month.
Not yet, I'm still finding my place on the fediverse but I already downloaded my saved posts. Probably I'll join the exodus and close my account before the end of the month.
A few years ago, I have no regrets. I could browse the site without an account anyway
After six or seven years on Reddit, I finally deleted it and have removed it from my bookmarks. It's a little unusual trying to find communities for certain things I only used Reddit for, but I like it nonetheless.
I haven't yet, I'm still a moderator ant it will be hard to leave reddit
Just did it yesterday after realizing that the only real use Reddit got was bookmarking funny cats and doom scrolling. Twitter is next, just gotta save some "useful media" first
Whenever I saved the "useful" stuff of something, I later realized I never looked at it again or even if I did it wasn't all that important. The monkey brain just likes to hoard.
<realizes he has 10+ yrs of saved reddit posts to go archive now>
shit.
I abandon my Reddit account every month or so and start over
I'm selling mine, apparently it's 50.000? Right?
