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 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

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

[–] PCChipsM922U@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year 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.

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.

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.

[–] Lemmington@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] nonowasabi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I deleted the app but not my account. I thought about going back someday, but honestly I don't think I will. The last few days without reddits pessimistic view (at least how I see it) have actually been great.

[–] Raphael@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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

I have no such weakness.

[–] beepnoise@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Mate I deleted my account as soon as they announced the API change.

I know that BS trajectory. Reddit has been killing off the mobile website for a while, probably going for the old reddit too.

Fuck 'em.

[–] 888@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I've deleted my 16 years worth of comments and post history. I now spend my time between here and Tildes, and just go back to reddit watch it burn.

[–] stappern@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

I deleted my accounts every few years anyway

[–] vulfneck@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I haven't yet, but will do on the 30th (after running Redact) before Sync stops working. What I have done is requested my data, removed all the posts and customisation from the subs I moderate (r/fryup being the biggest at 30k users) and set them to private.

[–] AuspiciousPotato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

I’m waiting til after the blackout. Afterwords I’m pulling the plug.

I've barely got any posts on there, so I've kind of just left my account for now. I'll purge it later on once I feel like all of my niche communities I need are elsewhere.

I however, do not visit it more than once a day now though, and I expect that frequency to drop-off (primarily for local level news right now - too small to expect them to migrate elsewhere for now)

[–] manifex@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not deleting, just abandoning. I had another person step up to mod the only community I was modding.

[–] ZKtheMAN@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I'm out. Nixed mine. Honestly I was never a huge power user so it's not too big a loss.

[–] Boot@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] BabaDuda@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] Silviecat44@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] eric5949@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

No, but I'm migrating most of my usage here. Some small subreddits will probably never be replicated here and I like talking about smaller games and bands sometimes.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] jbrtn@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Purged everything this morning bar for one last comment on the Apollo thread. Currently using kbin.social - exploring my options, but I wont be returning to Reddit.

[–] KeefChief12@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Doubt Ill ever delete it, just abandon it.
