Just deleted it, I hope the future for the fediverse goes down right.

I still use it for sports subs but that's about it.

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

I'm going to leave the account, delete most of the old content and switch to posting links back to fediverse. Likely automated.

Haven’t pulled the plug but edited then deleted all of my comment history, unsaved all of my saves, and got situated with Lemmy (testing Mlem), in preparation. I’ll pull the plug on the 30th. Let me just say the transition so far has been better than expected. It took a bit for the sign up to get approved and the servers to catch up, but I think we will be just fine.

I abandon my Reddit account every month or so and start over

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

Deleted yesterday right after the post from Christian detailing the scummy way in which Reddit was treating him.

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

Yep. I waited too long on Twitter. Not making the same mistake again.

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

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.

I was going to keep it around for hardwareswap but now they have closed shop. Guess I don't need it anymore?

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

I already deleted all the content of my account, I will probably delete the account when boost dies on June 30th.

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

Migrating completely to a new platform is a process for me, especially if it's one I'm actively viewing content on. I still have my Reddit account but I suspect that will not be the case for much longer, as was the case with Twitter when I moved to Mastodon, and others.

I haven’t yet. I’ll probably keep using Reddit until June 30th besides maybe the protest days next week. I’m not sure if I’ll delete my accounts after June 30th or not though in case I need them for a one-off use case in the future.

I will say that it’d be easier to delete my accounts now than a couple years ago. A couple years ago, I was trying to make sure I never lost access to my original Reddit account by changing my password to be more secure, but my password manager failed to save the new password. I got locked out of my original nearly 10 year old Reddit account with a bit of a rare username. The only reason I have access to it now is it’s still logged in through Apollo, but I guess I’ll lose it forever on June 30th. I guess it doesn’t matter if I’m trying to move here anyways.

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

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

I'll have no choice but to delete RIF after it shuts down, so I'll probably make the tough decision after that.

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

I'll keep my reddit until Sync stop working.

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

I'm currently downloading all my stuff, saved and upvoted posts etc. After that, we'll see.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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.

A few years ago, I have no regrets. I could browse the site without an account anyway

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

I just decided to move here permanently myself.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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'm selling mine, apparently it's 50.000? Right?
