Not deleted, but exploring the alternatives.

I'm waiting for my GDPR data export, but it's taking longer than they promise already. Very close to get rid of it all.

My account is still there but I haven't been back since creating an account here on sh.itjust.works. I don't plan on going back.

I’ve deleted all my content (by hand—there wasn’t much), and I plan to delete my account on June 30 before Apollo stops working.

Are you guys seeing the trainwreck in this AMA?

Not yet. I'm waiting to see if Reddit will send me my data. Then, even if they don't, I'll delete my posts and comments by the end of the month.

Did it yesterday, and also removed all my comments and posts, but I didn't post that often - I have probably made 30-40 comments and posts in 2 years. However, I still use Reddit on my phone with Relay but logged out. When Reddit shuts down its free API I'll probably switch fully to Fediverse.

June 30th is my date. I have a 13 year old account and a 8 year old account. I'm considering options what to do with the accounts. I'm split between selling them or nuking all the comments and deleting them.

Haven't gone scorched earth yet. Don't think I will, but I'll think twice before going back on the site. There's some things that are valuable, and I'll wait and see if they even stay valuable.

Not yet. I think Lemmy needs to mature a bit more and get more of the groups I'm interested in.

I'm probably not going to get rid of my reddit account entirely, at least not until I get some better means of reading the news. Definitely not using it on mobile though, the official app is atrocious

I will delete it when Sync for Reddit cannot be used anymore. But I will stop using reddit anyway

My last account is still open but I've deleted everything on it... I want to delete it on June 30th. You know... to send a message. lol.

I deleted the apps on my phone and my ipad so I don't get any push notifications. I will probably only post on here. There are some communities I kinda rely on when it comes to information, tutorials etc. that are not really existing here. So I'm trying to kinda slowly move everything over here as far as I can do that. Hoping that more and more communites will be coming over too.

I honestly prefer the interface and how clean everything is here. Makes me wanna use reddit as little as possible lmao

I didn't quit Reddit. Reddit banned my favorite community because the shitposts were making their embedded national security goons too nervous. This was nearly 3 years ago.

Deleted my accounts a few weeks ago. Over time, I’ve found the noise levels to be cyclical and I happened to hit a point of “why am I scrolling through this stuff?” The API nuttiness just reinforced that decision for me.

Not yet. I want to watch and participate in the absolute chaos happening. It's a train wreck, great entertainment.

But as soon as the API key is revoked I'm gone. Well I already spend more time here.

I nuked both of my alts, but I haven't been able to pull the trigger on the 10 year old main account yet.

Maybe once I get the rest of my recipes and stuff over here I'll scorch the earth, but there are still too many memories in there.

Just waiting for the Spez AMA shitshow and them I'm out

Haven't pulled the plug fully. But all my posts and comments are now deleted. I think I'll be checking infrequently after the blackout just to see where they end up. Maybe then I'll delete the account too.

Just deleted my 5yo account. But it wasn’t that hard since I mostly lurked.

Maybe I'm being naive, but I still have some hope that the blackout will cause Reddit to reverse their decision, or at least be open to re-negotiating with the 3PA devs. I'm exploring alternatives either way.

I cleared my post and comment history. I probably will delete my account after the free API shuts down.

Just did it, no ragrets

I had been without a Reddit account for a while using Infinity (3rd party app) without being logged in. I didn't care about being able to post of comment but it's much more fun on Lemmy! Lemmy is much nicer than Reddit in my opinion and I'll end up stopping using Reddit completely

Don't think I'll go as far as deleting my account as it still holds some sentimental value to it (things nearly 12 years old at this point) but as for browsing / general usage, yes, I've fully switched to Lemmy as my daily site. While there are a few niche subreddits I'll probably still periodically check in on the sites been going downhill for years now, and the most recent AMA / API tomfuckery made me jump ship to greener pastures.

I am just waiting for.more communities to join over here and I will delete my account

I have a lot of things saved so I'll probably keep it until I can extract what I want to keep.

Deleted Reddit Sync app off my phone. This will drop my Reddit activity 99.99%. Keeping account in case I need to look something up down the road.

I'm done.... Was a user and contributor since the very early days. Out of principle l shall not be returning!

i deleted it when they got rid of chapo lol 🤷‍♀️

i feel like my decision has been vindicated

I'm exploring my options.

As long as old.reddit exists and there is a large community, I'll be 'stuck' with Reddit. I'm not there for the platform - I'm there for the people. I'll go where the people go.

As far as mobile usage goes, I don't know. Without an 'Apollo for Lemmy' or 'Lemmy is Fun' - I'm hanging around waiting for something to happen.

Reddit is the longest I've had a social media account after Facebook - pushing my 12th year. And I've participated in a lot of social media and message boards that came and went.

In my experience, websites sites die quickly when leadership prioritizes scraping profits over a user experience. And look, I completely understand and respect that companies need to earn revenue. However, it's a two-way relationship. Users will always flock to a more streamlined and accessible experience.

It's why Pandora > Shoutcast/iTunes Radio. It's why Spotify > Pandora. And it's why Netflix > Blockbuster. It's why after years of using Fark.com for news engagement, I joined Reddit. It gave me a far superior experience (not that Fark was ever bad).

I really like Lemmy. And I like the concept of federated spaces. But whether or not the concept is a big enough draw is really to be determined - especially without knowing what the mobile experience looks like.

All this to say.. I'll delete my account when it's no longer relevant. If I can get truly unique food and drink recommendations for my local city here, with enthusiastic participants all joining in the conversation - that's what I'll need to bury the past 12 years of online activity.

I'll probably not. Regardless of their current decisions, old reddit posts help a lot when my browser just won't give me a straight answer

I did - this rings too reminiscent of Twitter for me. I really dislike the native app, and the desktop app is all but unusable on my devices (why? I have no idea, we’re talking recent MacBooks with the m-series processors and gaming PC’s…). I also really dislike ads, and while I think there were options available to pay Reddit for no ads (premium?) it didn’t feel like my subscription money was going to the right place since Reddit is all user generated content. Unlike platforms like YouTube, where the users who create the content openly discuss how their revenue is generated, I’m not even sure the money I would pay to Reddit for premium would benefit the content creators on their site. So yeah, I’m really not going to struggle to use Reddit anymore. RIP Apollo.

Not quite, but I also don’t really want to go back to reddit. I’m seeing some great alternatives on the rise, so I can sense I’ll be deleting the profile at some point. Just haven’t pulled that trigger yet.
