I deleted mine nearly directly on the spot when the news about shutting out 3rd-party apps hit the net. No big deal.

I'm trying to make up my mind because a lot of my favourite subreddits are on there, especially the circlejerk ones because they're my humour fuels.

I just pulled the plug and deleted my account but to be honest, I was mostly a lurker who mostly upvoted (or downvoted on occasions!) posts over there.

I want to transition off of Reddit but I'm not deleting my account because I feel like there's too much valuable information on the site to get rid of it all just yet.

me! i used power delete suite to ensure that all my posts and comments were also deleted beforehand :)

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.

Not deleted, but exploring the alternatives.

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'm waiting for my GDPR data export, but it's taking longer than they promise already. Very close to get rid of it all.

I still have my account and I don't plan on deleting but much like my Twitter account it'll just be there. I'll check it for the few people and communities that stay behind.

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 🫡

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.

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

Just waiting on a data request download for submissions (through reddits data request if there isn't a faster way) and noting/making my last few communities on Lemmy, then I'll be on my way out. Didn't expect to clear it this soon but life hits pretty fast sometimes.

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.

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

Just did it. removed everything with the PowerDelete script, then deleted my 12 year old account. Sad. I deleted all comments, too. Like many people here I find it sad, that this information is gone, but I do not want to give reddit traffic for my personal content.

Planning on deleting my alt accounts, however I'm not going to delete my main account, I will just programmatically delete all my posts and comments.

I suspect that deleting accounts won't be what Reddit is looking at anyway, all they'll care about is ad revenue, and my accounts which were not generating any revenue will not bother them in the slightest.

I did a week ago, before all this went down. Just kept having terrible experiences interacting with people. After 15 years on reddit I was done with it. Deleted my account immediately. Then followed by regret for not backing up my saved section or removing my old comments. :(

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.

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 will probably wait until r/programmerhumor goes dark to delete

Just today, some hours ago.

Deleted my account & the 3rd party app on my phone. I'm only checking select subreddits through Libreddit (until it stops working).

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.

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?

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 did - this rings too reminiscent of Twitter for me. I really dislike the native app, and the desktop app is all but unusable on my devices (why? I have no idea, we’re talking recent MacBooks with the m-series processors and gaming PC’s…). I also really dislike ads, and while I think there were options available to pay Reddit for no ads (premium?) it didn’t feel like my subscription money was going to the right place since Reddit is all user generated content. Unlike platforms like YouTube, where the users who create the content openly discuss how their revenue is generated, I’m not even sure the money I would pay to Reddit for premium would benefit the content creators on their site. So yeah, I’m really not going to struggle to use Reddit anymore. RIP Apollo.

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.

Not yet. I think Lemmy needs to mature a bit more and get more of the groups I'm interested in.

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