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.

[–] 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.

I did,it was hard cause it had 10 years of memories on it but these new changes and the way leadership is acting I know if I where to not delete them I would come crawling back at some point rather just quit cold turkey

I've been a long time user on Reddit. Just deleted all my posts and comments (been mostly a lurker, so not much there) using shreddit, then deleted my Reddit account and uninstalled the app (Boost - loved it) from my phone. I'm done with Reddit, the AMA and behaviour of u/spez and the other Reddit admins was just too much.

I hope I get some time back from stupidly browsing Reddit, but also don't want to miss out on some of the communities (r/adventofcode specifically, hope they make it over to Lemmy at some point).

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.

Doubt Ill ever delete it, just abandon it.

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

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.

[–] 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.

[–] 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.

[–] 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 (3 children)

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

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

[–] 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.

[–] 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.

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

Not yet, I'm still finding my place on the fediverse but I already downloaded my saved posts. Probably I'll join the exodus and close my account before the end of the month.

[–] somepianoplayer@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I haven't yet, I'm still a moderator and it will be hard to leave reddit EDIT: Spelling

[–] Dalek@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I’m probably gonna keep my account but only use it on desktop with Ad blocker. If they break it with ad blocker I might delete but not sure. It’s hard to delete something I’ve been using for so long but I’ll definitely not use their shitty mobile app

[–] 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.

[–] Savion@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'll have no choice but to delete RIF after it shuts down, so I'll probably make the tough decision after that.

[–] Csynthare@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. I waited too long on Twitter. Not making the same mistake again.

[–] lixus98@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I already deleted all the content of my account, I will probably delete the account when boost dies on June 30th.

[–] Etelekeli@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Deleted yesterday right after the post from Christian detailing the scummy way in which Reddit was treating him.

[–] roi@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Just deleted it, I hope the future for the fediverse goes down right.

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

Haven’t pulled the plug but edited then deleted all of my comment history, unsaved all of my saves, and got situated with Lemmy (testing Mlem), in preparation. I’ll pull the plug on the 30th. Let me just say the transition so far has been better than expected. It took a bit for the sign up to get approved and the servers to catch up, but I think we will be just fine.
