It's a shame to have to migrate away from a place when it was fundamentally damaged by terrible top-down decisions. 2023 really is the year of getting less for more.

Just killed mine a few ago. I was on for 9 years and although I was more of a lurker, I had some good times on there. So many good saved content, so many liked posts and comments, so many laughs and memories. I am ready to focus on kbin and start that all over here. Its like a good relationship that ended but I am ready to move on.

I’m holding out on deleting mine until I know my comments and posts are staying gone. I went through PowerDeleteSuite twice and everything still came back, so we’ll see what happens.

I also don’t want to delete it because it’s closing the door on the time I spent there. Folks on Reddit helped me get through a lot of mess and sadness in my life. It feels like losing a friend.

I really wasn't ready as sick as I did until I started watching Redact edit every single comment one-by-one, watching so many years of comments going by. It's rare to watch an era play back in front of you before it disappears like that. But at the same time I feel a lot more free to explore new platforms (like this one, this is my first comment on kbin :D). I'm ultimately glad that, while for abhorrent reasons, I was given the oppertunity to disconnect from Reddit and find more niche communities and websites again. I felt like it was 2004 all over again.

I wasn’t holding on to hope but I’m lazy so I kept using Apollo right up until the end. Created my account here a couple of weeks ago though. I like it here, feels like late 00s internet.

Honestly, if he'd ever had any intent of changing, that AMA would have actually bothered to be an AMA, and there was no reason he would have refused an offer to buy out and integrate any of what were clearly beloved apps.

It is funny to see how many feet he can fit in his mouth whenever he has to say anything at all to the press, though

Cancelled my Reddit premium subscription just before the boycott. Deleted my 8 year old account this morning. In the box where they asked me to explain why I wanted to delete my account I said ti was in direct response to how they handled everything and their blatant disregard and disrespect they showed to the users of Reddit who made that site what it is today.

Going to miss some things about it, but it was becoming a toxic wasteland, so, off to bigger and better things 😌

Been here since the blackouts started and it feels much more chill here.

Just pulled the plug on my 8 year old account as soon as Sync stopped working. I had already made my decision a few days ago once mods were being forcibly removed so this was merely a formality. It was still a sombre feeling watching it burn, but I'm glad that I can move on now.

Anyway, welcome and here's to a new era without corporate enshittification.

Thank you for your service and welcome aboard!

I'm not going back. Spez can drown in his greed. My account was 14 years old.

Just opened the Apollo app and realized it works no more. Even though I knew it was coming it’s still a strange moment that I may rarely go back to Reddit.

I'm running PowerDelete as we speak. Kinda sad to see it go, but also kind of liberating lol

Literally cannot believe this is how they handled things… very sad day! Worst part is, I’m sure they will be just fine and get the IPO they desperately want.

I deleted all my comments but my account is still there with my little goodbye. 108k comment, 12k link, and 11 years.

Did the same, and signed up here. Let's see what happens.

Well done!
This gives me the courage and boost to delete my reddit account which I haven't been using since the morality collapse

I edited all my comments to be the same message. I don't know what the benefit would be of deleting vs editing them. Ultimately the goal is that they can't benefit from content I've created, right? Is there any benefit in deleting?

In the process of doing so for mine right now as well. 9 year old account, 255k post karma, 210k comment karma.

Trying to delete mine... keeps telling me "something went wrong" They trying to stem the bleeding?

I keep thinking that I miss Reddit but really I just miss the Apollo app. The interface and filtering was great.

Me too. I had an 11 year old account that had so much info that it almost hurt, but I'm angry at Spez for ruining Reddit and this was the last straw.

I overwrote all of my comments, deleted my posts, and deleted my account with a final Fuck Spez in the "Why are you deleting your account" box.

Just uninstalled RIF about an hour ago. I'm looking forward to this next chapter. It's still very early days for the fediverse but it seems very promising.

Congrats on taking the step. I axed my 12-year old account at the start of all this. I've had moments where I doubted that decision, sure, but the fediverse does seem to be growing. There's more and more activity every day.

I'm right there with you. 14+ year user. I did a lot of lurking so didn't have your karma, but I never really cared about "reddit karma". Man fuck that guy /u/spez
