Have you left reddit forever? Have you deleted your account and posts? Just curious

I'm done. I sometimes open Apollo out of habit but this too shall pass...

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

I'm sticking around

Definitely. The signal that reddit sent was pretty straightforward. I'll probably miss some of the communities there butI prefer to build on a safer ground which turned out to be distibuted

Of course I'm staying. I'll also stay on reddit until June 30th, after which I guess I'm only coming back on computer once in a while to check the more niche subs. I'm also thinking of using that time left on reddit to organize with people of those subs who would like to create a Lemmy community together, and to help the less tech-savy join.

I plan on making Lemmy my main go to and MAYBE occasionally jump on Reddit for some of the niche subs I'm part of.

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

tbh, it still sucks here lol, but i'm open to the plan on staying here as well as reddit if Lemmy can at least improve to be comparable to Reddit.

I didn't make a lot of posts or comments on Reddit, but I did spend a lot of time on that site. If I still use the site once the dust settles, it will only be for a few niche subreddits that I was a part of.

Reddit is damaged goods as far as I'm concerned and It's clear that the people in charge don't give a shit about the community. I will miss certain content and interactions, but I've walked away from other communities in the past and have adjusted quickly.

I like the idea of Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon and the fediverse. It's clear that they aren't ready for the current influx of users and there has already been some drama between different instances, but I'm willing to work through the growing pains. The whole vibe around Lemmy is generally positive, and that is what's keeping me around for now.

This is my very first comment.

I'm eyeing right now, but it already reminds of Old Reddit, so I may stay. I was there to see Digg die, and now Reddit fall.

I just hope for a good active community.

I want to stay gone. I’m banned and can’t go back on the reddit app so Apollo was the only way I could post. That being said, I want something to replace it and I’m not sure what that’s gonna be right now. I mean it wouldn’t be the worst thing for me back on there and not allowed to say anything but sometimes I do like to ask question. Hopefully something positive happens but I’m not holding out much hope

[–] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I toyed with the idea of triggering a ban on my account, on purpose. I just need to log into the account that was banned years ago, edit something, and BANG! automatic detection bans my current account. Then you'd get a bunch of people claiming that I was banned because my account criticises Reddit, that would further fuel the fire.

The only reason that I don't do this is moral. I don't mind small immoral acts but this steps over the line for me, as I'd be effectively lying to other users.

[–] ranguli@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Would be great to leave permanently, but Reddit still has the critical mass for niche community subreddits. Hopefully that will change as people jump ship.

[–] tallwookie@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

i really want to, I really like the distributed concept, but posting/commenting times out a lot - easily 80% of the time. maybe I'll give it a few weeks and come back to it.

as far as reddit goes? if it cant access it without infinity then I will never access it. deleted all of my accounts except one, and it's only usable until infinity shuts down.

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

I think that the time-outs will go away once the servers are upgraded to better suit the demand

[–] canitendtherabbits@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Deleted my 2 accounts yesterday. About 10 years old. All posts, comments, everything. I'm moving on and I love this world so far.

[–] Amsairl@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'll be staying. I do tend to be more of a lurker than a commenter, but generally that was because on reddit most anything I was going to say had already been said. I enjoy the "feel" of Lemmy, and I am very appreciative of all of the content contributers.

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

Im curious, what made you leave back then?

[–] LostCause@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I deleted all accounts except for one that I‘m still emotionally attached to. I downloaded a copy of my data and then… well I‘ll use Lemmy as my main platform for now and see how it goes. Then when my Apollo is dead, hopefully I‘ll have no reason to look at Reddit much at all.

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

How long did it take to get your data download? I put mine in like a week ago and haven't gotten it yet. Waiting for that to nuke my comments and delete.
