I was sort of holding on to hope, that something would change. Unfortunately, nothing did and so, here I am.

I'm really liking kbin so far, so I'm looking forward to spending more time with you all over here. ❤️

Yep, nuked mine just an hour or so ago. What a shame. :/

13 years the day the blackout started. Deleted it today on my birthday :) no regrets!

@akai
Same here. Once Apollo stopped working, I deleted my 5 year, 14k karma account. Fuck Reddit and fuck u/spez.

Me too. I had an 11 year old account that had so much info that it almost hurt, but I'm angry at Spez for ruining Reddit and this was the last straw.

I overwrote all of my comments, deleted my posts, and deleted my account with a final Fuck Spez in the "Why are you deleting your account" box.

Running the PDS fork with the 5 second cooldown right now to do editing of all my posts and comments. Will wait a few days before deleting my account to make sure they stay edited.

I wasn't that active over the last 12 years, but it's still taking a while. 3.3k karma here
Honestly hoped that they wouldn't go full idiot....but sadly...spez is in charge. He's an insult to the idiot community.

edit: took all night but 4k+ posts edited. Waiting a bit and checking occasionally to ensure they stay edited before deleting.

I just spent the last hour deleting my reddit content and account, while RES still worked. Active for 12 years. Fuck spez!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I just deleted all three of my Reddit accounts. I hope a lot of others do the same!

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

I did as well. I was thinking that at some point they were going to talk to everyone but instead they doubled down. What ever their lost i like how chill it seems to be here.

Same here... 6yr old account deleted (after nuking all my comments). I didn't have as much karma as you, but I did have a lot of quality content. So long Reddit, we won't see each other again (I won't visit even as a anonymous visit) fuck spez

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

Haven't yet deleted my 11y.o account. I know there's content associated with it that I can't delete. Raised a GDPR "right to erasure" request that I am fully prepared to go to court to see enforced.

If u/Spez continues to make shitty decisions with the platform, but with respect to data privacy laws, he's going to be put over a barrel by the ICO, and he can kiss the idea of ever taking Reddit public goodbye.

I was permanently banned from Reddit for daring to suggest something or other (no doubt an anti-gay fascist type) that offended someone, somewhere. No explanation of what it was. I have nearly 5K followers, but now that I'm perm banned I want my Reddit account deleted for good. They say they can't delete it. I've threatened legal action against them unless they do so - I do not want my username or likeness associated with their fraudulent forum any longer. I seriously have filed papers against them and will use my estate inheritance to sue them if they do not delete my account and all traces of it for good.

Funnily enough, it seems RTV/TUIR/TTRV still work, at least for now? Possibly since you use your own API key for those. If nothing else, my copy of RTV is still working.

Just deleted my 11 year account with almost a million karma after overwriting and deleting all my comments and posts. Reddit is dead to me.

[–] sanbeiji 1 points 1 year ago

This afternoon I also deleted all the comments and posts, and relinquished all mod duties, from my 12-year-old far-less-karma account as well. Satisfying. I am going to leave the empty husk of my account there for now, as a reminder of what was.

Amazing to watch both Twitter and Reddit both in simultaneous rapid decline. End of an era.

The distributed model is brilliant, so no one person can musk or spez up everything. Feels promising.

I’m likely not too far behind you. I currently have PowerDeleteSuite running to nuke all my content. I may keep my account and just lurk on there (with ad blocker running, of course), but not sure yet.
