My last account is still open but I've deleted everything on it... I want to delete it on June 30th. You know... to send a message. lol.

Did it yesterday, and also removed all my comments and posts, but I didn't post that often - I have probably made 30-40 comments and posts in 2 years. However, I still use Reddit on my phone with Relay but logged out. When Reddit shuts down its free API I'll probably switch fully to Fediverse.

In an effort to support new communities here I'm going to let my reddit account linger so I can pull interesting content from there and post it here. At least for a week or two while things get established

I'm probably not going to get rid of my reddit account entirely, at least not until I get some better means of reading the news. Definitely not using it on mobile though, the official app is atrocious

Haven't gone scorched earth yet. Don't think I will, but I'll think twice before going back on the site. There's some things that are valuable, and I'll wait and see if they even stay valuable.

Don't think I'll go as far as deleting my account as it still holds some sentimental value to it (things nearly 12 years old at this point) but as for browsing / general usage, yes, I've fully switched to Lemmy as my daily site. While there are a few niche subreddits I'll probably still periodically check in on the sites been going downhill for years now, and the most recent AMA / API tomfuckery made me jump ship to greener pastures.

I'll probably not. Regardless of their current decisions, old reddit posts help a lot when my browser just won't give me a straight answer

I have a lot of things saved so I'll probably keep it until I can extract what I want to keep.

I didn't quit Reddit. Reddit banned my favorite community because the shitposts were making their embedded national security goons too nervous. This was nearly 3 years ago.

I nuked both of my alts, but I haven't been able to pull the trigger on the 10 year old main account yet.

Maybe once I get the rest of my recipes and stuff over here I'll scorch the earth, but there are still too many memories in there.

I'm not, at most I'm gonna park it and just never use it again. If they want to delete it, they'll have to introduce an inactive account deletion policy

I cleared my post and comment history. I probably will delete my account after the free API shuts down.

I had been without a Reddit account for a while using Infinity (3rd party app) without being logged in. I didn't care about being able to post of comment but it's much more fun on Lemmy! Lemmy is much nicer than Reddit in my opinion and I'll end up stopping using Reddit completely

I have too much history on Reddit to want to delete my account, I just intend to use Lemmy instead going forward

Are you guys seeing the trainwreck in this AMA?

Not yet. I'm waiting to see if Reddit will send me my data. Then, even if they don't, I'll delete my posts and comments by the end of the month.

I was a reddit user for about 15 years. Deleted my account and post history yesterday — honestly haven’t missed it as much as I thought I would 🤷‍♂️

Maybe I'm being naive, but I still have some hope that the blackout will cause Reddit to reverse their decision, or at least be open to re-negotiating with the 3PA devs. I'm exploring alternatives either way.

I will delete it when Sync for Reddit cannot be used anymore. But I will stop using reddit anyway

Deleted my accounts a few weeks ago. Over time, I’ve found the noise levels to be cyclical and I happened to hit a point of “why am I scrolling through this stuff?” The API nuttiness just reinforced that decision for me.

Just waiting for the Spez AMA shitshow and them I'm out

I deleted the apps on my phone and my ipad so I don't get any push notifications. I will probably only post on here. There are some communities I kinda rely on when it comes to information, tutorials etc. that are not really existing here. So I'm trying to kinda slowly move everything over here as far as I can do that. Hoping that more and more communites will be coming over too.

I honestly prefer the interface and how clean everything is here. Makes me wanna use reddit as little as possible lmao

Just did it, no ragrets

Currently using 'Redacted' app on Android to purge my musing. Automated for the win.

I haven't and I won't. As much as I hate the API changes and as much as I hate being forced to use the terrible official app, there are communities on Reddit that won't be going dark indefinitely that I am an active part of and wish to remain part of.

Lemmy is a great concept in theory, but in practice it leads to what was a single community on Reddit being spread over several instances. A community with tens of thousands on Reddit might find a few communities spread over a handful of instances and because a community doesn't show up in the Communities list under All until someone does the [email protected] command for that specific community (meaning they physically went to other instances to find that community on that other instance and then in practice manually added it to the list)

This also means that as the amount of instances grows, specific communities will become even harder to find as the instances themselves become more obscure and hard to find.

I deleted my accounts earlier this week (before the AMA). I decided I could just make a new one in the future if that ever was a thing, and I’d rather not contribute to their line charts of “active users”, and rather would appear on those for “accounts deleted in the last 30 days”.

For me it was a symbolic reminder that I don’t want to lurk there and deleting my account was an action I remember. I hope they follow the direction of Twitter and Instagram by making the platform unusable without an account, further cementing more barriers for me.

June 30th is my date. I have a 13 year old account and a 8 year old account. I'm considering options what to do with the accounts. I'm split between selling them or nuking all the comments and deleting them.

I’ve deleted all my content (by hand—there wasn’t much), and I plan to delete my account on June 30 before Apollo stops working.

Not yet. I think Lemmy needs to mature a bit more and get more of the groups I'm interested in.

Not yet. I want to, though. I want to try saving down everything I've saved over the past 10 years. Once I do that, then I'll feel comfortable deleting it.

Just deleted my 5yo account. But it wasn’t that hard since I mostly lurked.

Not deleted, but exploring the alternatives.

I want to transition off of Reddit but I'm not deleting my account because I feel like there's too much valuable information on the site to get rid of it all just yet.

Deleted my posts, deleted my comments, account will be active until the 30th then I’ll probably delete that too.

It sucks - I had some 20K comment karma on about 2000 posts over 13+ years - but they’ve burnt that bridge and I’m not giving them anything back.

If I need to create a burner account at some point down the road then that’ll happen but I just don’t want to engage with it any more.

me! i used power delete suite to ensure that all my posts and comments were also deleted beforehand :)

I'm waiting for my GDPR data export, but it's taking longer than they promise already. Very close to get rid of it all.

Just deleted 1 of my 2 reddit accounts.

This one was 11 years old. Once I get my requested account data downloaded for my 14 year old account, it's gone.
