I feel like going to the Chernobyl exclusion zone every time I had to specifically go in there, not to access content from there (I use libreddit, teddit or archive.org for that), but to check on my accounts (via old.reddit).

What I do is to just do what I need to do, see if any of my posts or comments have resurfaced, scrub them off, delete them (or just use Power Delete Suite for that), and then go back out without any delay. The less time I spend there, the better.

ngl yeah I do. Specially on r/gonewildaudio.

...

...what?

I haven’t been back yet (at least not intentionally; I’ve carelessly clicked some links that opened reddit but I closed them right away.) At some point I do want to go back and see if a couple of my weirder, smaller communities have made any announcements about moving off reddit. If they haven’t/won’t, then I guess I’ll have to learn to live without them. (Arguably the healthier option but what can I say? I’m weak! If I don’t have to give them up, I won’t.)

Don’t know if I’ll be able to bring myself to delete my account. Again I know I probably should, but I really don’t want to for reasons I can’t articulate.

I haven't taken baconreader off my phone yet because I'm not ready, but I also don't visit Reddit anymore either. I'm pretty happy on Lemmy right now, and I was thinking about giving Mastodon a go.

We don't go to Ravenholm anymore.

I haven’t been back since the blackout kicked off. I even feel dirty seeing posts about Reddit here and mostly avoid them because I can guess at the content. You can guess how disgustingly dirty I feel actually replying to a Reddit thread here!

Considering the only time I visit reddit is to keep deleting my posts that pop up after I run my deletion script, no, I don't.

I don't mind browsing the web version with my ad blocker. Before, it was just because I don't like ads. But the icing on the cake now is the knowledge that every byte I siphon off their server costs them something that they will never get back from me

I don't.

I haven't visited Reddit since the second day of the whole fiasco.

Well, yeah. That's why I'm mostly here instead.

My Redditing is down from hours daily to a few minutes, at a couple of specific subReddits with info and news I haven't yet been able to find elsewhere.

I still check out a few specialised subs that haven't' made it over here or that I can't find a Facebook equivalent I like yet. One is for our local town and one is for cancer support. I don't feel great about it, but as I used to spend hours a day on Reddit it's a vast improvement. Don't let perfect stand in the way of good is how I look at it. I may just end up starting the cancer patient support ones on my own over here, but I'm hoping someone that knows what they are doing will beat me to it.

I feel the same. I feel like the main place to find out if anything is going to happen is on reddit, though... I don't know what I expect to happen besides things to get worse.

Totally agree!

Yes, also because of all the nsfw content.

I've not visited reddit since Sunday 11th and a week into things, deleted my account. My only issue is when I Google something and can see the answer is on reddit. Happened last night but refused to go there. Found the answer somewhere else in the end.

I deleted my reddit account yesterday and also try to stay away from web searches that link to reddit. One time i accidentally clicked on a link to a reddit answer and it felt pretty bad. I do miss some of my smaller subreddits and find myself eagerly browsing new communities in the fediverse, hoping that someone started up a replacement. I don't want to become a mod, so i don't want to start up communities myself.

I am waiting for the backup of my data there to be ready so I can destroy my history and delete my account, so for a while I've been visiting daily, but after the CEO expressed his love of piece of shit extraordinaire Elon Musk, I have no interest in ever logging on there again.

I have reddit blocked at the router level (Eero mesh network). It's worked great, they've seen no traffic from my IP since the blackout. I habitually try to visit the site but that block has greatly helped...... until the software glitched and I started seeing reddit - turns out I had to reboot my router and that fixed the issue. But damn I felt dirty accidentally visiting the site again - but I didn't miss it, I could see it had changed.

everytime i open my thirdparty client i remind myself that its stupid to do.. since i need to get away from reddit slowly. it will stop working anyway in a few days so i should rather now distance myself on mobile from it.. but somehow i open it again and again.. so yes. feels bad. :/

Have had a few moments where I've been tempted to open it up, and even that makes me feel grubby.

There are far worse things I have yet to boycott though, so it doesn't feel very balanced to have such a strong reaction to this particular thing.

Will visit in a few days to ensure that my comments have remained deleted and to close my accounts. I gather Reddit has been reinstating content deleted via PowerSuiteDelete and the like. Most of mine were done long before the recent crisis, and overwritten for a while before being deleted, so am hoping that though they'll still have original versions on a server somewhere, it will be too awkward for them to bother making them visible.

May also make a GPDR deletion request. Strongly suspect these companies don't truly respect those, but it does mean they have to be a bit more cautious with relevant data.

Unfortunately I'm visiting on old.reddit every now and again to keep up with sport news. Once the transfer window is over it's goodbye Vienna.

I treat the blackout and what came after (replaced mods, etc) as a strike. I don’t cross picket lines and I don’t support scabs.

No, but my last visit is likely on the horizon

I either use ad-block or the "unsanctioned" RiF app and am only there to watch it die rather than engage

Only delaying deleting my account to give them a fair chance to course-correct before the apps that make it usable shut down (or tweak their codebase to work with Lemmy)
