Asklemmy

Just deleted 1 of my 2 reddit accounts.

This one was 11 years old. Once I get my requested account data downloaded for my 14 year old account, it's gone.

I hadn't really actively engaged with Reddit in years, and I stopped lurking almost cold turkey when they killed off the personal homepage on the mobile web interface earlier this year. I deleted my account when the Apollo news broke (I've never even used a third-party app, but it's crystal-clear what direction the wind is blowing). I only found out about lemmy after I pulled the plug.

Now to figure out how mastodon and all the other "fediverse" apps work :-)

I've been a long time user on Reddit. Just deleted all my posts and comments (been mostly a lurker, so not much there) using shreddit, then deleted my Reddit account and uninstalled the app (Boost - loved it) from my phone. I'm done with Reddit, the AMA and behaviour of u/spez and the other Reddit admins was just too much.

I hope I get some time back from stupidly browsing Reddit, but also don't want to miss out on some of the communities (r/adventofcode specifically, hope they make it over to Lemmy at some point).

I'll try to back up all the content I created over the years (mostly memes) and my comments, but I don't feel like using Reddit anymore.

It was convenient, but their business practices are a slap in the face of too many users, mods and devs.

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

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'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've put all my saved posts and comments in a notes file in preparation and have deleted an alt account. But I think I might keep my main a bit until my most niche subs have transferred (if they'll transfer at all). Once Apollo stops working I'll no longer be going to reddit on my phone in any case.

Annoyingly, even thought I don't want to support Reddit. There is still going to be some useful things on Reddit, but I really hope most the community move over to here, or somewhere else.

Accounts are meaningless. Karma and upvotes are just buttons. They only hold meaning if you intentionally assign meaning to them. Just download the photos you’ve posted if you don’t have copies and be free of assigning real material qualities to fictional concepts, like some transient code that says your account is 6 years old with 1.6million karma.

Just before I joined here, I deleted my posts and my account from reddit. Hopefully I don't need to visit the site very often anymore after today's shitshow.

me! i used power delete suite to ensure that all my posts and comments were also deleted beforehand :)

I was always a lurker on Reddit so I don’t have to worry about purging post or comment history. I literally just haven’t gotten around to deleting it yet. I’ll miss the more local niche communities, but they’ll show up here and in other places in time.

I think I'm still holding out hope that they will come to their senses, but I'll probably delete eventually.

I don't really want to delete content potential googlers could stumble upon and be helped by, but I've replaced the Relay shortcut on my homescreen with a Jerboa shortcut. That's as good as deleted cause that's all I access reddit through.

I plan to, and almost certainly will by the end of the month.
I'm sticking around just long enough to see how the blackout goes and to watch a bit of the resulting dumpster fire after tho.

RIP to RIF

I still have my account and I don't plan on deleting but much like my Twitter account it'll just be there. I'll check it for the few people and communities that stay behind.

I plan to, but I also plan to do it fully - going through saved links and bookmarking or documenting relevant recipes/guides/etc, removing all the comment history, etc etc.

I'm not really good at doing that in a timely manner. I have so many big projects, and smaller projects, that have been postponed for so long. It's just another thing on the list.

I've been lurking on regularly cycled usernames, so that was pretty easily done. I haven't deleted Slide yet, but since it'll stop working on 30th, that's a given. I'm going to try my best to help build up the niche communities like hardware focused ones on lemmy

I'm debating it, but deleting content seems pretty much a lot of work.

I value my content and the communities too much (despite its problems). I won't be deleting my account, and definitely not the content I posted.

I don't know yet what will happen to my usage and contribution level. Maybe it will only be on desktop PC from now on. We will see.

I am going to wait until the blackout in two days I think. If reddit doesn't back down on their decision I am going to delete the app.

Not yet. I will do so by the end of June.

I have too much history on Reddit to want to delete my account, I just intend to use Lemmy instead going forward

I won't delete my account, atleast not in the foreseeable future. Won't install the official app though and stop using reddit on mobile entirely. There's just so much resources and old content available on reddit, and a lot that I've saved, that's next to impossible to migrate anywhere. I'll keep my account for that, and just that so I can access it when I need to.

I'm kind of emotionally attached to my main and alt account to do that, yet.

I did,it was hard cause it had 10 years of memories on it but these new changes and the way leadership is acting I know if I where to not delete them I would come crawling back at some point rather just quit cold turkey

I used the power delete suite to get a backup of all my shit, change all comments to "bye reddit" and then delete them. I'm done with reddit unless spez is gone and they back track waaaay the fuck back

My account is one I made for work related purposed and has ~140 karma with very little identifiable information about me. I won't delete it, but I'm no longer using Reddit as a time-waster. I'm diversifying and have signed up here, kbin, Mastodon and PixelFed.
