I deleted my account on Wednesday. I loved Reddit, but without RIF it's useless to me. Also the more I read about the Fediverse the more I think it's the proper way for social media to work in the future of the Internet.

I have the boost for reddit app. To me that's reddit. When that stops working I'll delete the app and that will be the end of it. Hopefully one day there will be a boost for lemmy.

I was already on the fediverse, though I still use reddit for some stuff, I probably will only post here and use reddit read-only from now on though. I did the same with twitter awhile back and now I just don't read twitter.

On a slight tangent I also found on the fediverse I get more engagement than on twitter or whatever, so I really never found it hard to move. While on twitter you might blow up and end up in the news (if you think thats a good thing lol), the fediverse your more likely to get actual engagement but your less likely to end up on the news. Though sometimes now you do! Which is weird lol.

No more Reddit for me. I deleted my account

I have definitely been a lot more active around here. A lot of people talk about deleting their old accounts, but I have a hard time bringing myself to do that to mine, not because I want to be active on Reddit, but just because there is a lot of history that I'm anxious about losing I guess.

I left last year. I doubt this place will be much better from a moderation perspective but see how it goes.

I deleted my accounts, I pop over there from time to time to check out specific subs that don't have an equivalent here yet, but that's not very often.

Me, I'm here to stay.

I used Reddit exclusively through third party apps, without them I have no want to use the site anymore.

And with spez proving how much of a massive bellend he is, it only reinforces my decision.

Created an account here yesterday, and deleted my Reddit account a couple hours later.

Life is too short to deal with greedy asshole CEOs.

I've been on Reddit a few times since the 'official blackout' ended but mostly been on Lemmy. I deleted one off my accounts. The other I've just used to browse a little. I'm not posting, commenting, or voting on anything. Probably once rif and old.reddit die, I'll be done. I've never had the misfortune to view new reddit or the official app and I don't plan to start now.

I have. I hardly ever commented on Reddit but am trying to make more of an effort here. I'll go if there's some tech solution or game guide in a specific comment that Google leads me to, but no longer will I use it for idle browsing.

I deleted all my accounts, posts, and comments. Been on the site since around 2009 in one way or another. I'm all in on Lemmy and doing my part by submitting content to subs so there's some activity.

Yep, all contents and accounts gone. I can really hold a grudge. And quitting Facebook, then insta then twitter was followed by an increase in my happiness, so it’s a huge incentive. Nothing is going away, nothing is being lost. People, the real value of these platforms, still exist, and will repopulate other platforms with content really fast.

I'm still using it, but less. When my preferred app dies at the end of the month here, I'll probably stop altogether.

I miss reddit, but it's been one week since I logged in. Removed Boost (my reddit client app on my phone) and forced myself to not go there. Since then I discovered Lemmy, and since I use mastodon as well, it's interesting to see both interconnectable. I'll see in the long run, but I don't think I'll use my reddit account again. (unless there is big changes, but even then, I'm not sure)

I have not visited reddit logging in since last Sunday. I've gone to a couple subreddits from a browser not logged in to see if they were still private. I uninstalled RIF after like 12 years of use.

I’m there a little at the moment whilst my apps of choice (Apollo and ReddPlanet) are still operational. However it’s nothing g like it used to be (the blackout has worked from that regard) and I’m over here more often now.

haven't been back since the blackout, when temptation hits I come here instead. I've also picked up reading again. I think maybe I'll use reddit if I need advice on some product or something.

Yeah I'm done with Reddit unless they do a big 180. Which I doubt they will.

Feels icky to go there, now that I know how they conduct themselves.

Starting today, I'll try to not open reddit once, and start to learn more about the federative "system" or whatever youw want to call it. I think it definitely will be hard, but i do see a lot of possibility here in lemmy and in the federative in general! I've also moved away from twitter and on to mastodon.

Ditched completely, I was a lurker on reddit, I had nothing to add to discussions. The #threadiverse feels like home, it's easy to engage and you get to talk to a lot of nice people.

I had 2 accounts, one 14 years old and one 12. Both are now deleted.

Account 100% deleted.
All comments, posts, and votes wiped.

I never had good experiences there, was often too anxious to participate and quickly reminded doing so was a bad idea.

Good riddance.

Yeah, I'm not going back.

Ironically, the only interaction I have with reddit now are links posted to kbin/lemmy.

Occasionally a Google result. But I'm done with it, whatever I was getting from reddit I'm getting from Kbin now.

Deleted everything 2 days before the blackout.

Also didn’t want to wait till the end of the month incase there was an influx of people at the end when the API becomes paid.

No regrets.

I found a home in Reddit when Digg v4 happened. After many years, I wound up deleting my Reddit account and using it 100% anonymously as a pure consumption content aggregator. I'm here on kbin now and restarting my engagement with the content. It feels fun again! I just wish we had a catchy name like Digg v4 to call this Reddit exodus.

As an aside I didn't consume Reddit at all during the blackouts in solidarity even as an anonymous consumer, but when I returned it was full of trash and Reddit quadrupled down on their shitty position so I deleted the apps and have added all the Reddit owned domains to my pinhole alongside Facebook/Meta, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

If there is archived content I need to access for support or finding advice, I'll be using the fediverse and archive.org from now on.

I haven’t looked at Reddit since the eve of the Reddit Blackout. I switched to kbin and moved Apollo to a second iPhone Home Screen I call “The Memorial to Great iOS Apps Killed by Assholes” (it also contains Twitterrific).

I’ve added the web app icon for kbin to where Apollo used to be, and good old muscle memory has taken care of any absent-minded Reddit visits that might otherwise happen.

Honestly, really depends on

A. How well Lemmy/Fediverse will do. B. How bad the user experience on Reddit will be on July 1st

I'm liking Lemmy at the moment, not having the tons of spam bots really feels like a breath of fresh air.

In the end, it's all about the experience for me. I'm ready to ditch Reddit if the alternative is good

Not fully yet. Not all subreddits I browse have migrated or are planning to. I might slowly wean myself off it once the 3rd party apps stop working and I have enough of browsing old reddit on my phone.

Done with it forever! Glad to be here

I genuinely loaded it up perhaps 3 times in the last 5 days or so and those were on accident, with me leaving immediately again. I‘m committed to this in a similar way I am committed to quit smoking, ~280 days without a cigarette.

I haven’t touched it since about 2 days before the blackout. Hoping there’s a decent app for iOS soon for kbin.

I haven't been back since the protest began and it's been generally fine. I miss a few communities, but I'm seeing some that I've liked at least beginning to have a presence here.

I've yet to find a good alternative to /r/Games, though their official Discord is pretty good.

Most of the gaming communities I've seen on Kbin/Lemmy are either a lot more specialized, or are overrun with non-news and discussion topics like memes, resulting in spaces more akin to /r/gaming

I don't have a problem with memes, but /r/Games was created specifically because spaces that allow lower effort content and a huge userbase tend to be flooded with it.

I've almost ditched it. The only traffic they get from me is when I search for something and add site:reddit.com out of instinct to filter out the SEO crap.

I miss certain subreddits, mostly the TalesFrom ones (especially TalesFromTechsupport and TalesFromTheFrontdesk), but I've edited all my comments and posts that aren't rebuttals to misinformation. Just saying why I'm leaving Reddit (mostly the lies and greed of the company) and inviting people to kbin. I haven't deleted my account in case Reddit tries to undo my edits.

Other than that, I've managed to go cold turkey ever since the blackout began.

Edit: Oh, this was a Brisbane-specific community. Didn't realise, sorry.

Effectively I have. My account still exists but is only subbed to Tildes (Trying to snag an invite) and Redditalternatives. Once RIF goes offline, I won't be accessing on mobile at all.

I've edited all my comments from the last year and working on automating that so I can redo it if they keep up with trying to roll them back.

But I don't browse reddit anymore. Still not 100% certain where I'll land and call home but I have three or four platforms I'm spending time with to see what feels right. I don't really care what reddit does now, it's irrelevant to me. Whether they succeed, fail, or alter their API plans, I'm indifferent. The trust is broken.

I’m certainly done contributing in any way. I’ve edited my past posts and comments so they all say fuck /u/spez and will now only use Reddit as a read only resource if I can’t find the answer to a question elsewhere.

Come June 1st, I will no longer use Reddit on my phone. As soon as they scrap old.reddit.com, I’ll no longer use Reddit.
