how many of you have genuinely ditched reddit? (aussie.zone)

due to the rolling blackout... I think it's had its effect.

I think I am done with reddit.

it's a shame because as someone who doesn't use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don't get online.

I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit.

anyway, I'm just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?

I'm out. I was waiting to see what happened after the blackout, but with the reports of submissions being restored after deletion, subreddits being forced to reopen, and the CEO doubling down and saying he looks at Musk and Twitter as some kind of success story, I'm done.

Logged in today and downloaded a list of the subreddits I was subscribed to, and then deleted all my submissions. I haven't deleted the account yet, mostly because I want to go through my saved list and make sure there's nothing I want to keep from there. And a little bit of morbid curiosity to see if anything I purged today will mysteriously reappear.
