Asklemmy

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

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.

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

My last account is still open but I've deleted everything on it... I want to delete it on June 30th.

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.

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.

Already used Redacted to remove all posts and comments but still lurking as long as Boost is working. It's not easy to let go

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.

I can't because there are no bulgarians on lemmy, I need r/bulgaria

Are you guys seeing the trainwreck in this AMA?

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

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

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 haven't and I won't. As much as I hate the API changes and as much as I hate being forced to use the terrible official app, there are communities on Reddit that won't be going dark indefinitely that I am an active part of and wish to remain part of.

Lemmy is a great concept in theory, but in practice it leads to what was a single community on Reddit being spread over several instances. A community with tens of thousands on Reddit might find a few communities spread over a handful of instances and because a community doesn't show up in the Communities list under All until someone does the !community@instance.domain command for that specific community (meaning they physically went to other instances to find that community on that other instance and then in practice manually added it to the list)

This also means that as the amount of instances grows, specific communities will become even harder to find as the instances themselves become more obscure and hard to find.

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.

I’ve been a 10+ year user of Reddit with multiple accounts over the years. During that time, I’ve deleted accounts and created new ones for the sake of privacy. There is no value lost in these situations.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

I deleted my accounts earlier this week (before the AMA). I decided I could just make a new one in the future if that ever was a thing, and I’d rather not contribute to their line charts of “active users”, and rather would appear on those for “accounts deleted in the last 30 days”.

For me it was a symbolic reminder that I don’t want to lurk there and deleting my account was an action I remember. I hope they follow the direction of Twitter and Instagram by making the platform unusable without an account, further cementing more barriers 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.

Not yet. I want to, though. I want to try saving down everything I've saved over the past 10 years. Once I do that, then I'll feel comfortable deleting it.

Just today, some hours ago.

I’ll use it on desktop since there’s likely valuable information and discussions on it (ie. communities that aren’t on Lemmy yet)

I’ve always been more of a lurker on Reddit but I’m making it a goal to contribute more on Lemmy 🫡

I've begun the process, requested my data from them and then afterwards i'll be nuking my account

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.

Deleted my posts, deleted my comments, account will be active until the 30th then I’ll probably delete that too.

It sucks - I had some 20K comment karma on about 2000 posts over 13+ years - but they’ve burnt that bridge and I’m not giving them anything back.

If I need to create a burner account at some point down the road then that’ll happen but I just don’t want to engage with it any more.

I have deleted Apollo off of my phone, but I plan to still use the few tiny sub reddit communities that I enjoy. However, I am actively avoiding r/all and major subs that are just meme factories.

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.

I’ll go back for specific things like I’d go to any website looking for a solution for an issue after googling.

I’m not browsing Reddit anymore. Place is cancer. Even before all this API stuff I was over the nfts, the unimaginative meta humor, the predictable and repetitive nature of every top comment, the puns, the thirsty comments every time someone looks somewhat attractive, the hostility, etc. Reddit feels like I’m reading chatgpt now.

I’ll miss the smaller subreddits. Hopefully they’ll come soon. That’s where interesting conversations occurred.

I don’t know when I’ll delete my account. I have a lot of “saved” items I don’t want to lose yet. If I don’t find myself using those saves after a bit I’ll delete everything.

I removed all my posts and comments but kept account alive, at best I'll be lurking.
