The biggest issue for me right now is troubleshooting and searching. Reddit search is awful, but google + Reddit is almost irreplaceable imo. You don’t have to read through ai generated article that’s just repeating keywords, just find a post that contains the answer.

Ai chat seems to be a pretty good replacement, but it’s still up in the air for now.

Right now I am back and forth. The protests seem to have had an effect on my feed as the content seems less interesting to me. Maybe that's all in my head though. Lemmy is what I've been looking for though. The discussion is decent. Waiting for a good mobile app and I'd likely never go back to Reddit. Just sort of flipping back and forth right now, as I said.

Like others have said, I'm off it too, although I have occasionally checked in with the niche subreddits I used to follow to see where they're moving to, if at all.

I’m not going to use their terrible web site, nor the abomination that AlienBlue got mangled into as the official app, so…

I’ve not used it this past week, and will wait until the official cutoff date to see if my aging 3rd party app of choice stops working. If it does, that’s it, I guess… they made the decision for me.

On top pf being the spcial media I interacted the most, Reddit also used to be my default idle scrolling app, whenever I had time to kill and a phone with Internet on my hand or when I felt like multitasking watching TV. I stopped using it for the blackout and I never really went back.

I snooped a bit through r/modcoord and r/save3rpartyapps to see how thing were going when someone mentioned them a couple of days ago and from there I went on the linked subs to see their alternative protests and vote on the subs I subscribe to, but that's it.

I still miss some subs, but I haven't felt the need to visit them yet, so even if I cave in, I'm no longer a daily user, just a once-twice a month one with a ton of ad blocks.

I occasionally open a Reddit link from search results because I am not paying enough attention, but even if I need something that I think can only be found on Reddit I am not touching it and I immediately close it if I accidentally open it. If any friends send me a Reddit link to a meme image, I don't open it. Instead I share links to memes on Lemmy. 😂

I haven't gone and overwrote all of my content (because I figure they are looking for it right now and I might end up fighting an automated restoration system right now), but if I ever open it intentionally again, that's what it will be for.

I'm fully done with it, no peeks. It's actually significantly easier to write off Reddit than most sites for me. Had this happened a little while later it might have changed though.

A subreddit for something I work on had gotten automatically shut down for lack of moderation (it was dead so 🤷) and I was in the middle of contemplating contacting Reddit to unban the subreddit and take control of it, but with Reddit's decisions I don't want to use the site anymore, even if they reverse course.

I am instead contemplating opening a dedicated Lemmy instance specifically for the thing I work on, and if I do end up following through on that the only reason I would go on Reddit again is to make sure that subreddit stays closed, permanently. Me and the other person in charge have zero interest in using Reddit at all (we are both third-party app users), and we work to make sure that nobody masquerades as "official" (it only causes us headaches) and fracturing our informational/reference material further than it already is.

Yep pretty much done. Definitely stoping my endless scroll over there.( Probably for the best anyway) May pop over to the occasional boutique community until they exist in force over here (suggestmeabook etc)

Reddit has been too big for the last five years or so. What’s the point of commenting on a post with 10k+ comments.

Lemmy is still too far on the other end but hopefully takes off in the next year. Hopefully spez continues his Musk performance and Lemmy gets the growth curve Mastodon has had.

I will use it until the 30th. That day will mark the end of my Reddit journey.

I uninstalled Sync for Reddit on the 11th, I'd rather the day I uninstall Sync be the day I stop using Reddit entirely as my contribution to the protest. Rather than the last day I use it be because Reddit pried it from my hands. Fuck /u/spez.

I just deleted all of my comments before this month. I was looking at my old comments before deleting them, and I realized that Reddit was better 5 to 10 years ago. I saw better engagement from me with communities, and with individuals, than I even remember being possible on Reddit. I'm not going back to Reddit, but I'm starting to wonder if social media is healthy for me at all.

Tbh I had slowly already stopped using it. I only use it to Google answers to things.

I've only gone back to vote for pics of John Oliver and spread the good word about the verse.

Enjoying Kbin for my daily browsing since Monday.

I don't plan to ditch Reddit. But I'm extremely pessimistic about Reddit's future due to the horrible decisions the CEO has made.

I don't think Reddit will die immediately from this. There will be months, maybe years, of activity. But the crippling blow has been dealt. The community (even if it returns to Reddit) has lost trust and faith in the leadership and administrators. And I don't think that trust will be won back, ever.

I do feel for Huffman's predicament. His job is to turn this company profitable, when it has never been profitable before. I don't know if I would have performed "as well" as he has, and I likely would have been a worse leader in many respects.

I've kind of gone on a soft break - I go on there and scroll a little, but don't participate/post and limit my time greatly.

Done with it and deleted acct last week

I still have my account but I'm keeping it just to get the list of subreddits I'm subscribed to and find respective communities on Lemmy, on July 1st it's game over for me on there

I'm slowly letting my RiF die. Still have it downloaded, but it's gunna but hard come 6/30.

I've logged out of reddit, deleted the app and I've checked it a couple of times to see the state of the protest but I think I'm just going to drop it now. I've not deleted my accounts but I barely used them so I'm not sure if it would add much!

It'll be interesting to see what the long term effects of the migration event are, I'm guessing quite small as reddit still seems active. But then again, maybe the bulk of actual engaged users have now left?

There are plenty of smaller communities there that truly don't care about what's going on in management, and will probably stay alive for a long time still.

It's those communities that keep me in Reddit.

Otherwise, I'm no longer idling and killing time through r/all or my frontpage.

Deleted my accounts after 14 years. Contributed, modded, had a decent amount of karma, fuck it.

I have deleted all my comments, deleted my account after 15 years. Yeah, I am done.

I'll still be using it going forward as a resource, but perhaps not as a community, if it ever really was one. It still exists as the foremost way to cull out blogspam (and now AIspam) from Google search results. So if I'm looking for discussions on a new carbon steel pan, Google will probably direct me to a Reddit thread and that's fine. Hopefully in a year we'll all be appending (lemmy|kbin|tildes) to search queries instead.

As far as a community, oof it's not looking good. Steve Huffman this week just kept finding new ways to keep digging, to keep insulting the community, and to keep straight-up lying. The fact that he apparently idolizes Musk and considers him more of a role model than a cautionary tale leads me to suspect that he's going to continue to antagonize the community and I'll probably end up editing/deleting my comments by the end of the month.

Unfortunately I can't just ditch it because my target audience and traffic source is mostly on reddit(80%+ of my website traffic). But I don't use it for doom scrolling anymore

I've gone back a few times to scroll through the news subs, but I think I'm done with it, having found the news streams on Kbin.social.

Mostly. Still go to /r/AMD for news about products, but basically nowhere else.

I’ve left! I’ve found a good balance by having an account for both Kbin and Mastodon. It might be redundant once Kbin federates better with Mastodon content and has a good app, but for now it’s nice to have.

I've edited, deleted comments, deleted account. 7 years gone. A few times since I've jumped on reddit not logged in as anyone, and wow, what a horrible place it is when you don't see only what you're subscribed to!!

For me the move wasn't hard to be honest, reddit for me is just hell scrolling (or whatever the term is) to get some news some memes and just keep up with games, and the occasional porn.

I thought about moving to lemmy before the blackout for the sake of easier piracy seeing how they made the move as a backup.

The only thing I miss is the centralized communities, for example in lemmy you have the technology community in several instances splitting the community (unless I'm just confusing on how it works) and the fact that you can't make a custom feed

Otherwise, don't miss reddit.

I went ahead and scrubbed my post history over there. When Apollo closes out, I’ll be out. Hoping this setup continues to grow. It’s a shame, but no interest in supporting the current stupidity.

Done and done. Even deleted Apollo. Not even missing it.
