I've been banned from reddit like a bazillion times.

I have no such weakness.

My account is one I made for work related purposed and has ~140 karma with very little identifiable information about me. I won't delete it, but I'm no longer using Reddit as a time-waster. I'm diversifying and have signed up here, kbin, Mastodon and PixelFed.

After six or seven years on Reddit, I finally deleted it and have removed it from my bookmarks. It's a little unusual trying to find communities for certain things I only used Reddit for, but I like it nonetheless.

Already deleted all content a couple of years ago and was just lurking. Did notice that it became a chore, especially when boys became prevalent. Forced closure of 3rd party apps was the straw that broke this camels back. It’s a shame because it’s been roughly ten years or so and Reddit truly devolved

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

I have to be 100% honest, probably won't delete it

Though come the 12th I'll be uninstalling Relay and hopefully make something of Lemmy

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. :(

I will probably wait until r/programmerhumor goes dark to delete

[–] [email protected] 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.

I have. And i would love for it to be permanent, but that's going to depend on if Lemmy continues to build content. At the end of the day, I like this platform but without content I won't stay. Current momentum is looking fantastic though, and I will continue to comment and add my pieces!

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.

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.

UPDATE: I pulled the plug

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've deleted my comments and posts and find Reddit then restored them a few hours later.

So I've written some Python to delete them automatically and have it run on a schedule. Fuck 'em. A week later and Reddit are still restoring my data for the script to delete.

I might delete it when Boost kicks it at the end of the month, we'll see.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've already deleted my reddit account a few days ago, never gonna use reddit for the foreseeable future.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I am also hesitant to remove everthing. Maybe someone for example has the same question I once had. If Reddit holds on to their decisions I will probably delete the app though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've deleted everything I posted/comment and my account yesterday. Granted Ive had already done this a couple years ago so this account wasn't that valuable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I refuse to uninstall boost, and once I figure out how to delete all my posts, the I will be deleting my account.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Didn't delete my reddit account and probably won't. Just leaving it abandoned and lurk every once in a while.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've wiped my author account and main account.

But I won't delete the accounts because fuck them, they don't get to recycle those. I could delete the account under this name, because it was just my alt for moderating, and it's such an inside joke that only maybe five people would get that it isn't worth deleting.
