I just deleted all of my comments before this month. I was looking at my old comments before deleting them, and I realized that Reddit was better 5 to 10 years ago. I saw better engagement from me with communities, and with individuals, than I even remember being possible on Reddit. I'm not going back to Reddit, but I'm starting to wonder if social media is healthy for me at all.

Done with it and deleted acct last week

For me the move wasn't hard to be honest, reddit for me is just hell scrolling (or whatever the term is) to get some news some memes and just keep up with games, and the occasional porn.

I thought about moving to lemmy before the blackout for the sake of easier piracy seeing how they made the move as a backup.

The only thing I miss is the centralized communities, for example in lemmy you have the technology community in several instances splitting the community (unless I'm just confusing on how it works) and the fact that you can't make a custom feed

Otherwise, don't miss reddit.

I'll still be using it going forward as a resource, but perhaps not as a community, if it ever really was one. It still exists as the foremost way to cull out blogspam (and now AIspam) from Google search results. So if I'm looking for discussions on a new carbon steel pan, Google will probably direct me to a Reddit thread and that's fine. Hopefully in a year we'll all be appending (lemmy|kbin|tildes) to search queries instead.

As far as a community, oof it's not looking good. Steve Huffman this week just kept finding new ways to keep digging, to keep insulting the community, and to keep straight-up lying. The fact that he apparently idolizes Musk and considers him more of a role model than a cautionary tale leads me to suspect that he's going to continue to antagonize the community and I'll probably end up editing/deleting my comments by the end of the month.

Eh, not enough content here yet to scratch the itch so I'm still lurking Reddit despite blackouts. That said, I'm not going to use the official app or browser, so once RIF stops working I'm done for real. My guess is that most of the remaining lurkers share that sentiment, and there will be a gradual preliminary migration for three next two weeks, followed by a huge wave after July 1st. Then there'll be content.

Enjoying Kbin for my daily browsing since Monday.

I haven't used my account since the blackout. I have gone to the site occasionally if I Google something and the answer shows reddit though. My wife hasn't used reddit and is waiting for me to "cave" but I haven't been tempted. The first day was the hardest but now I just use Lemmy. Looking forward to some more polish on the jerboa app but can't complain about anything else really.

Nearly all the subreddits I would actively follow, have gone dark so there's really nothing there for me besides scrolling the main page for 2 minutes

I’m trying to be done with it. I spent way too much time there anyway just scrolling through anything. Haven’t been back since the blackout. Saved myself loads of time in the process. It’s good to see so many other folk here now too.

I deleted my accounts on June 10 and never looked back.

Deleted my 11 yo accounts after the disastrous AMA and only took a peek during blackouts to see what it would look like. No Apollo = no Reddit. Actually, I'm not even sure I would go back if Reddit magically reversed everything, because now we have learned so much about what a shitty, disrespectful place it is towards its users. Restoring users' deleted posts and comments is way WAY over the line. The Reddit Files also sound like they will be interesting...

I can't go back. Digg was abandoned for less.

I was a Reddit user for 9 years. I ditched it on TikTok to prove to people that they don't control you.

I ditched it a while ago.

I have, although I'm only a lurker. I understand the concerns of the moderators and regular posters and decided to support them by not giving my attention and time to the website. I've subscribed to some of the communities here and enjoying it thus far. I'll try not to peak and get most of solutions else where but it's going to be an uphill task for me, who tries to find every answer in Reddit.

I'm so happy to see people here. The fediverse is alive!

I'm burning through my comment history with Redact right now and left all my subs. I plan on keeping an account exclusively for my local sub, but I haven't decided if I'm going to keep using mine or spinning up a new one. I already burned my 15 year old account to spite a catty super mod who banned me from 10 or so subs at once I certainly don't care about this one lmao

I still use it but I'm no longer as active as I was.

I wish all my subreddits could have federated alternatives, but I'm not really tech savvy enough to make them on my own nor do I want the responsibility of being the admin, if I did have the know-how.

I haven't touched Reddit since discovering kbin and Lemmy. I'm sure I'll end up using it inow and again when searching for stuff, but otherwise good riddance.

Reddit has done its damage for me. Since a day before the blackout I think I’ve only been back there twice, and only for search results and without logging in. it’s totally been fine for me, and I don’t really see myself going back to Reddit for the things I used to go there for.

I’m still on the fence about removing my account altogether, however, because there are 1 or 2 tiny communities on there who aren’t really organized enough survive a migration. I anticipate needing to pop into one on a rare occasion to ask a very specific question.

I'm 100% done with Reddit. I do miss the user & comment diversity, and there are several subreddits that I have yet to find anything nearing a replacement for elsewhere. I'm an absolute noober to kbin but so far I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing. It feels fresh and new, which is very welcome after over a decade of Reddit use.

I had 3 reddit accounts and deleted all of them a week ago. I've put up with a lot of shit from reddit for years and the API issue was the last straw.

Btw, this is my first post here. I'm hopelessly lost. Hopefully I can connect with some "magazines" or something!

I've removed my Reddit account already. If I'm going to have any reason to use it to any extent (maybe one or two niche subs), I'm going to do it through some libreddit instance.

I've reduced my usage massively. Beforehand where I would post threads, write comments and upvote / downvote. Now I'm just lurking and consuming, without creating anything of value. I think that's pretty fair given how Spez treated everyone, treating them like they're leeches, when they're the ones trying to pitch an IPO off of people's content

I may have a cursory browse of my VERY limited feed and one glance at /all just to have a peek (i'm heavily filtered on Apollo) but I know the days are ticking down til July 1st, that's when i'll fully be like...fuck this. After years of being spoiled by Apollo...no way am I using that reddit app again.

I've gone back to SomethingAwful a bit [long in the tooth], and i've been enjoying Tildes instead. I'm still on the fence regarding these federated places but kbin is definitely the least-shittest to experience as a user. I really wish I could hide posted threads though, all of these new things make it impossible, I hate seeing stuff i've seen once.

Apollo had the best feature of consuming reddit - marking read once scrolled past. DREAMY! Previously I had reddit set to manually upvote each post to hide which was also ok, but tiring. Not having anything like this on kbin is unfortunate. Hopefully it'll be here soon.

I'm on there only once a day very briefly to upvote protesters, and for work. And when I accidentally click a search result, which is a tough habit to kick.

Used reddit for 8 years up until the API stuff that killed the app I liked to use on mobile. Deleted my account the other day and looked for decent alternatives, which is how I ended up on kbin. Reddit stuff still comes up in searches and I'll open the page to get an answer I need, but I don't browse it daily like I used to.

I'm in read-only mode from Apollo, and getting more and more used to the federated content. Come July 1st, it'll be over.

Count me in.
However I find that, as users, we waste too much energy thinking of Reddit. I have ditched it and I have moved on. I don't have any need to see how many more people did it, or how many still use Reddit.
It doesn't do any favor to ourselves, and to some extent it is like our happiness in the fediverse still relies on whatever Reddit (or its users) do.

Exited completely. Logged on once to edit a bunch of comments, may do that again and see if they've been reverted.

Not missing it half as much as I thought I would.

Ditched it and haven’t looked back

I was 100% Apollo so any other inference is shit
Just can’t and won’t

Don’t miss it as much as I thought I would

Also fuck /u/spez

I have deleted all my comments, deleted my account after 15 years. Yeah, I am done.
