Yep, I had been teetering, I like the idea of a FOSS public solution. I still fondly remember nntp before it was ruined. It reminds me of Reddit in many ways.

I am also hesitant to remove everthing. Maybe someone for example has the same question I once had. If Reddit holds on to their decisions I will probably delete the app though.
Migrating completely to a new platform is a process for me, especially if it's one I'm actively viewing content on. I still have my Reddit account but I suspect that will not be the case for much longer, as was the case with Twitter when I moved to Mastodon, and others.
I abandon my Reddit account every month or so and start over
I literally just deleted my account as of a few minutes ago. Read the thread from Christian about him shutting down the Apollo app, read the thread about how shit the Reddit team was treating him (and presumably, they probably treated other third-party devs similarly), and decided that since I was trying to quit Reddit anyways, might as well pull the plug now.
I've been eying out the Fediverse stuff for a while now, but that was the final push to go and join this place to trial it out and see how I like it.
My plan is to drop and delete Reddit on June 30th.
What I have not figured out yet, is where to post my goodbye. Any ideas?

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.

After six or seven years on Reddit, I finally deleted it and have removed it from my bookmarks. It's a little unusual trying to find communities for certain things I only used Reddit for, but I like it nonetheless.
No, there's too many little niche subreddits that lemmy doesn't even come close to replicating. I have been using the official reddit app for the better part of a year so I'm not personally affected by the ban on 3rd party apps.
