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

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.
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.
Just deleted my 5yo account. But it wasn’t that hard since I mostly lurked.
Not deleted, but exploring the alternatives.
That's where I'm at. I think I like this place more than tildes from what I've seen.
There's still a few niche things that warrant keeping my account and using old.reddit for the time being. Mainly, I get most of my local city news from the local sub - I don't think Lemmy will ever be able to replace that
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.
yeah.. I think that's naive. spez has some investor cock sucking to work on. it's too late.
I deleted the apps on my phone and my ipad so I don't get any push notifications. I will probably only post on here. There are some communities I kinda rely on when it comes to information, tutorials etc. that are not really existing here. So I'm trying to kinda slowly move everything over here as far as I can do that. Hoping that more and more communites will be coming over too.
I honestly prefer the interface and how clean everything is here. Makes me wanna use reddit as little as possible lmao
I cleared my post and comment history. I probably will delete my account after the free API shuts down.
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.
I think I’ll sell my account and donate to lemmy project
Just waiting for the Spez AMA shitshow and them I'm out
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.
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.
I have a lot of things saved so I'll probably keep it until I can extract what I want to keep.
I hadn't really actively engaged with Reddit in years, and I stopped lurking almost cold turkey when they killed off the personal homepage on the mobile web interface earlier this year. I deleted my account when the Apollo news broke (I've never even used a third-party app, but it's crystal-clear what direction the wind is blowing). I only found out about lemmy after I pulled the plug.
Now to figure out how mastodon and all the other "fediverse" apps work :-)
I'm done.... Was a user and contributor since the very early days. Out of principle l shall not be returning!
I had been without a Reddit account for a while using Infinity (3rd party app) without being logged in. I didn't care about being able to post of comment but it's much more fun on Lemmy! Lemmy is much nicer than Reddit in my opinion and I'll end up stopping using Reddit completely
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.
Deleted my accounts a few weeks ago. Over time, I’ve found the noise levels to be cyclical and I happened to hit a point of “why am I scrolling through this stuff?” The API nuttiness just reinforced that decision for me.
I can't because there are no bulgarians on lemmy, I need r/bulgaria
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.
me! i used power delete suite to ensure that all my posts and comments were also deleted beforehand :)
Not quite, but I also don’t really want to go back to reddit. I’m seeing some great alternatives on the rise, so I can sense I’ll be deleting the profile at some point. Just haven’t pulled that trigger yet.
Just before I joined here, I deleted my posts and my account from reddit. Hopefully I don't need to visit the site very often anymore after today's shitshow.
Not yet. I'm waiting to watch it all fall apart. Definitely going to suck losing out on so many communities. But I'm no longer interested in the direction its going and have been using boost for a decade to browse. I rarely use reddit on desktop and refuse to use their bloated app. It's strayed so far from its original design philosophy that deleting it probably won't hurt all that much.
Just deleted my 3yo account with lots of juicy karma in it, also 2 alts
I removed all my posts and comments but kept account alive, at best I'll be lurking.
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.
I emptied the content from each comment I made. Then I deleted my accounts. I'm glad to be part of these new communities and conversations.
Deleted my account & the 3rd party app on my phone. I'm only checking select subreddits through Libreddit (until it stops working).
I deleted all of my posts and comments from my 8 year old account today. Just need to 'export' saved videos and articles to some other apps and then I'll delete the actual account.
My plan is to drop and delete Reddit on June 30th.
What I have not figured out yet, is where to post my goodbye. Any ideas?
Not yet. I think Lemmy needs to mature a bit more and get more of the groups I'm interested in.
My last account is still open but I've deleted everything on it... I want to delete it on June 30th. You know... to send a message. lol.
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.
Just today, some hours ago.
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.
