I've been banned from reddit like a bazillion times.

I have no such weakness.

[–] Boot@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Already deleted all content a couple of years ago and was just lurking. Did notice that it became a chore, especially when boys became prevalent. Forced closure of 3rd party apps was the straw that broke this camels back. It’s a shame because it’s been roughly ten years or so and Reddit truly devolved

[–] Silver_neurotic@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I don’t think I’m going to delete, but I don’t think I will engage.

[–] BabaDuda@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I have to be 100% honest, probably won't delete it

Though come the 12th I'll be uninstalling Relay and hopefully make something of Lemmy

[–] Mr_Smash@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I've already deleted my reddit account a few days ago, never gonna use reddit for the foreseeable future.

I am watching the show and will keep doing that till 30th. It feels like a social experiment, I am curious to see how different sub-communities will react. Sort if similar to what happened with twitter, the day elon pulled a spez I deleted my account.

[–] Silviecat44@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago

I have not deleted it yet in hopes that they will roll back / cancel the api changes. I will not be using it until they do however. Lemmy seems like a really wholesome place so far.

I’ll be deleting my 10+ year account once Apollo dies. May lurk in a few communities for a bit until there’s something similar here.

I have. And i would love for it to be permanent, but that's going to depend on if Lemmy continues to build content. At the end of the day, I like this platform but without content I won't stay. Current momentum is looking fantastic though, and I will continue to comment and add my pieces!

I didn't delete my account, but my local community and I have switched to Discord and Lemmy. I think I'm now spending more time on these two services than on Reddit.

[–] PCChipsM922U@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I don't plan on deleting my reddit accounts to be honest, I put way too much work in them, plus they have some saved posts that I really need and use as a reference from time to time. Also, there are some communities there that I don't believe will shift over here (for some, I am sure they won't, since they're other not that big amd moderation is not a problem for them), so I'll mostly be using Lemmy and Reddit interchangeably.

[–] AuspiciousPotato@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've deleted all the posts in my 12 year account but I find it hard to nuke the whole account.

They sure aren't going to make any more money off of me though.

UPDATE: I pulled the plug

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I've deleted my comments and posts and find Reddit then restored them a few hours later.

So I've written some Python to delete them automatically and have it run on a schedule. Fuck 'em. A week later and Reddit are still restoring my data for the script to delete.

[–] theory@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I think i'll nuke mine after the AMA. Just one more hour!

Edit: its gone

I'm currently downloading all my stuff, saved and upvoted posts etc. After that, we'll see.

[–] nLuLukna@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I refuse to uninstall boost, and once I figure out how to delete all my posts, the I will be deleting my account.

[–] SplashingCobalt@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I'll keep my reddit until Sync stop working.

[–] jazir5@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I just decided to move here permanently myself.

[–] solor@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Didn't delete my reddit account and probably won't. Just leaving it abandoned and lurk every once in a while.

[–] moreeni@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

A few years ago, I have no regrets. I could browse the site without an account anyway

[–] PracticalParrot@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I need to go through all my saved posts, and then I will delete it. Just delaying it since I probably have 500 posts saved... will take ages

It will be a while until I consider Reddit replaced for me. There I subscribe to a ton of subs with only a few thousand people. Even if all of these already existed here, it would take some time to find them.

[–] mangel@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

I might delete it when Boost kicks it at the end of the month, we'll see.

[–] polite_cat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I yeeted my account today. I've used reddit for ~10 years now. It's sad about some niche communities and inside-jokes, but if people keep using lemmy i'm sure they will find their way here eventually.
