YES.
I go on Reddit when i google something.
I deleted both my active accounts when the API changes were first announced and have not logged in or made a new account since.
I do own one former reddit account with the same username as this one but it's been suspended for a couple months due to a "security issue". They wanted me to reset my password to a more secure one but I don't have an email linked to that account so I can't actually reset it. So I just deleted my entire comment/post history and will never be logging back into that account.
So for the past couple weeks 100% of my reddit viewing has been while logged out and via old.reddit.com with an adblocker active.
Mainly I was checking reddit just out of morbid curiousity to see how the blackout was progressing and see if spez/admins were gonna say any more laughably stupid shit.
I first started lurking on Lemmy around the same time that I deleted my 2 active reddit accounts and as it has become more active I decided to go ahead and make an account here and give it a proper try. So far I'm enjoying myself and I hope this place continues to grow more as more people abandon reddit.
Thanks - this post made me think to check if there are browser plugins that automatically redirect Reddit links to teddit. There's teddit redirect for Firefox and teddit please for Chrome. Mobile is more difficult but it's a start.
I quit visiting Reddit.
Yeah, I check out the existentialist french cinema shitpost images of women smoking on redscarepod and some buttcoin for the luls, via teddit. Found a decent bud of buttcoin on fediverse and I fully expect to be ready to unceremoniously stop anonymously lurking come July 1st and let reddit digg itself into a shithole.
meh. i block ads, they dont get much from me. im certainly using it less though
I won't go back. I'm a full lemming now.
It's just become so toxic. I remember when I used to enjoy going to Reddit and it used to make me feel good. It used to make me laugh. Now it's just negativity.

I just don't visit Reddit. Problem solved.
I could totally see a 70s detective parody movie titled "Dick Justice!". Either that or a point. Either way, it's a winner.
Hah hah, I wish could take credit for it, but it's a Max Payne reference :)
I'm currently using Reddit Enhancement Suite to delete 8 years worth of comments and submitted comments. It's been a walk down memory lane as they all disappear, but it's a good way experience catharsis on the way out the door as all of my stuff that would have been monetized through google search results go poof... First time I've been back since creating my lemmy acct though, and it was more sad than dirty.
If it makes you feel any better, your comments probably aren't deleted and are still in reddits database. A lot of companies just set an 'isDeleted' flag to true/false. So even though the data doesn't show up via the API, reddit still has all the data to sell to clients.
there are still a lot of subreddit that haven't ported to Lemmy [not porting the entire subreddit with all the post to lemmy]
