I'm done. I tried to switch to mastodon but I didn't like the format. Lemmy/kbin are much more like a forum and that works for me.

I've actually found myself browsing reddit without realizing it. It took a couple of days but I'm getting used to Lemmy.

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

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.

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.

Deleted my reddit account. Trying this new federated stuff is more fun anyways.
Onboarding should be easier, so less tech savvy people can join too. Right now it is like choosing an linux distro.

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.

Yep... Probably. If bacon reader stops working, then definitely.

Either way I feel dirty looking, so I think we are done lol.

The biggest issue for me right now is troubleshooting and searching. Reddit search is awful, but google + Reddit is almost irreplaceable imo. You don’t have to read through ai generated article that’s just repeating keywords, just find a post that contains the answer.

Ai chat seems to be a pretty good replacement, but it’s still up in the air for now.

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.

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

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.

I’m not completely off Reddit yet, but 90% of my use of that site for now is either trying to convince people to support the blackout/move to other platforms, or it’s a result turning up in Google. So I have cut back pretty dramatically.

I am giving it the same treatment that the other social media sites get. No contributions, no direct access if I can avoid it, browser redirects to go through a libredit instance if I land on it.

The current mess made me realize that:

1. WTF, reddit has like a billion users now? When did that happen? That's a good reason in itself to leave.
2. I had an unhealthy relationship with the site. Feels liberating to leave behind my biggest online addiction.

I have. Not missing it. I wish they wouldn't show up in Google searches tho.

All posts deleted. Keeping the account but not really posting anymore.

Moved off the day before they went dark, only go back to re-run Power Delete Suite, since old posts of mine keep coming back.

Like others have said, I'm off it too, although I have occasionally checked in with the niche subreddits I used to follow to see where they're moving to, if at all.

@GloomyBagel

I still have my account there. I stopped my subscription and have deleted the third party app i used to access it. I'll delete the acvount tjere at some point, but im sticking with the fediverse.

New to lemmy. Will see how it goes before ditching reddit. I might start culling the defunct subreddits I have subscribed to over the years. Not cancelling my reddit account just yet. I have started seeing ads on reddit since the blackout. Not sure where they come from. I just downvote them rather than reading in case that helps.

Yep pretty much done. Definitely stoping my endless scroll over there.( Probably for the best anyway) May pop over to the occasional boutique community until they exist in force over here (suggestmeabook etc)

Reddit has been too big for the last five years or so. What’s the point of commenting on a post with 10k+ comments.

Lemmy is still too far on the other end but hopefully takes off in the next year. Hopefully spez continues his Musk performance and Lemmy gets the growth curve Mastodon has had.

It's hard, you know? I've still got sync installed, but after it's API key is removed I'm out. Might see if I can find a way to browse the archived version from my phone for looking up stuff.

I'm slowly letting my RiF die. Still have it downloaded, but it's gunna but hard come 6/30.

Right now I am back and forth. The protests seem to have had an effect on my feed as the content seems less interesting to me. Maybe that's all in my head though. Lemmy is what I've been looking for though. The discussion is decent. Waiting for a good mobile app and I'd likely never go back to Reddit. Just sort of flipping back and forth right now, as I said.

I'm using both. Hedging my bets I guess. I'll be using Reddit much less next month when bacon reader stops working.

I haven't been back to even delete my accounts yet. I don't wanna give them any traffic

I only ever lurked there using Apollo, but I’m not intending to go back apart from to clear my subscriptions/delete the account.

I miss some of the smaller subs but there’s already enough here to keep me going I think.

The amount of times I’ve automatically picked up my phone during ad breaks and stuff to try and open up Apollo has been a bit of an eye opener.

I deleted my account, same I did with Twitter. It just doesn’t feel right to support those companies. Boycotting them is easy and doesn’t cost me anything, so I do it.

I’ve been here for about seven days and occasionally open my Apollo app out of habit. When that happens I come visit Lemmy. I don’t really miss Reddit.

I'm still checking it daily, but only to fire up PowerDeleteSuite. It seems some old comments of mine sporadically appear either from subreddits going back to public, or because of rate limits with the API.

Quite keen to get out from under American "Community Standards", US defaultism and the extreme censorship that became prevalent on Reddit. I think the Fediverse taking off would be a paradigm shift in the way communities can be run, surviving any pushes to moderate to a particular agenda or set of tastes, and reduce the effectiveness of consensus manufacturing.

Worked examples could be that, fast forward 5 years, some Brisbane communities might allow casual use of swearwords like cunt and shit, or even slurs when used demonstratively (to the satisfaction of the community), whereas others wouldn't. And both would be valid choices and users could manage it by subbing and unsubbing as they see fit.

Another cultural standard around casual or non-sexual nudity - e.g. would you need to tag a streaker on a footy pitch as NSFW or require their nipples to be blurred - could be permitted to develop away from the American prudishness, again some communities allowing it and some not.

In that state of one foot in and one foot out sort of thing right now. I think as kbin and the other instances get more and more users (which I see happening for the most part), I'll probably start using reddit less and less. As a mostly lurker on reddit, I've been trying to participate more in the conversation here.

yeah i think i'm about to ditch all social media. and probably irl too if i'm totally honest

I'll look back for specific content, but my creative energy has moved here.

I am hopeful that spez backs down. Reddit is a household name. If we fragment into the fediverse it will be a tough road to getting the same critical mass and name recognition.

I've deleted all my posts and comments, and I'm not planning on going back. It's not only what they implemented, but also how they are treating app creators and moderators.

I’m not going to use their terrible web site, nor the abomination that AlienBlue got mangled into as the official app, so…

I’ve not used it this past week, and will wait until the official cutoff date to see if my aging 3rd party app of choice stops working. If it does, that’s it, I guess… they made the decision for me.
