Just did it yesterday after realizing that the only real use Reddit got was bookmarking funny cats and doom scrolling. Twitter is next, just gotta save some "useful media" first

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.

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

Not yet but I haven’t used it since the Apollo drama.

[–] sparklingsquirrel@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I already deleted all my comments and posts and when the time comes and RIF is down I'll delete my whole account.

[–] mrmaine@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Not yet. I will do so by the end of June.

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

I won't delete my account, atleast not in the foreseeable future. Won't install the official app though and stop using reddit on mobile entirely. There's just so much resources and old content available on reddit, and a lot that I've saved, that's next to impossible to migrate anywhere. I'll keep my account for that, and just that so I can access it when I need to.

[–] Kissaki@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I value my content and the communities too much (despite its problems). I won't be deleting my account, and definitely not the content I posted.

I don't know yet what will happen to my usage and contribution level. Maybe it will only be on desktop PC from now on. We will see.

[–] deuxenun@partizle.com 2 points 1 year ago

Just deleted my 3yo account with lots of juicy karma in it, also 2 alts

[–] imekon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm debating it, but deleting content seems pretty much a lot of work.

I've been lurking on regularly cycled usernames, so that was pretty easily done. I haven't deleted Slide yet, but since it'll stop working on 30th, that's a given. I'm going to try my best to help build up the niche communities like hardware focused ones on lemmy

[–] lea@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I don't really want to delete content potential googlers could stumble upon and be helped by, but I've replaced the Relay shortcut on my homescreen with a Jerboa shortcut. That's as good as deleted cause that's all I access reddit through.

I am going to wait until the blackout in two days I think. If reddit doesn't back down on their decision I am going to delete the app.

[–] j_roby@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I plan to, and almost certainly will by the end of the month.
I'm sticking around just long enough to see how the blackout goes and to watch a bit of the resulting dumpster fire after tho.

RIP to RIF

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.

[–] IEatChickens@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] gratux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] jazir5@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I just decided to move here permanently myself.

[–] solor@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] nLuLukna@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year 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.

I'll keep my reddit until Sync stop working.

[–] x-ray@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I haven’t yet. I’ll probably keep using Reddit until June 30th besides maybe the protest days next week. I’m not sure if I’ll delete my accounts after June 30th or not though in case I need them for a one-off use case in the future.

I will say that it’d be easier to delete my accounts now than a couple years ago. A couple years ago, I was trying to make sure I never lost access to my original Reddit account by changing my password to be more secure, but my password manager failed to save the new password. I got locked out of my original nearly 10 year old Reddit account with a bit of a rare username. The only reason I have access to it now is it’s still logged in through Apollo, but I guess I’ll lose it forever on June 30th. I guess it doesn’t matter if I’m trying to move here anyways.

[–] Aninjanameddaryll@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I've wiped my author account and main account.

But I won't delete the accounts because fuck them, they don't get to recycle those. I could delete the account under this name, because it was just my alt for moderating, and it's such an inside joke that only maybe five people would get that it isn't worth deleting.

[–] br0da@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

UPDATE: I pulled the plug

[–] HippoMoto@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Fully deleted. Never going back. To be honest, I was looking for a reason to get off. Glad it’s done.
