I just deleted Apollo off my phone. I loved Apollo but I kept mindlessly opening it, I just can’t use Reddit anymore. I’m here now. I had a 17 year Reddit badge, but no more.

RIF user here, and I had to move it off my home screen (replaced with Jerboa for Lemmy) but I still can't bring myself to delete it yet :(

Might as well wait until it dies on July 1st.

I uninstalled it on Wednesday. Reddit had become a time sink for me more than something of benefit, and unless Apollo is going to do a federated app, I'm back to just checking in periodically when I think about it (which is fine really).

Same here - but Boost user. I am strongly considering editing all of my comments (I'll have to look around and see if there are any ideas of a copy/paste format I can just use) which I think could be more valuable than deleting

But I'm not sure if the next step, deleting my account, would be more hurtful than my edited comments. It would be something like "this comment has been wiped in protest of spez's api changes that blah blah dont want free profit from our shared knowledge" compared to the comment still existing but my username being removed

I'm just so torn on deleting the account with all the history and people I've helped and met along the years. I guess I just need to hear a convincing enough argument to help me pull the trigger lol

Yeah me too. I added a block in my pi-hole setup to the whole Reddit domain. That may get removed later for search results reasons… maybe.
