I think i'll nuke mine after the AMA. Just one more hour!

I haven't yet. I imagine it'll be like how I handled Twitter... slowly going there less and less as the fediverse got more and more compelling. Now my Twitter account is abandoned.

I did today. My account was about 5.5 years old and I have to admit it was somewhat hard at the beginning. But to be honest I already don’t care anymore.

That API stuff was a huge shitshow that made me really angry. I even would have paid a subscription to be able to keep using Apollo. But if Reddit decides to bring people out of business they are not going to do business with me either.

I've put all my saved posts and comments in a notes file in preparation and have deleted an alt account. But I think I might keep my main a bit until my most niche subs have transferred (if they'll transfer at all). Once Apollo stops working I'll no longer be going to reddit on my phone in any case.

I deleted all my posts and comments today and will delete the account once Apollo is officially dead.

I already deleted all my comments and posts and when the time comes and RIF is down I'll delete my whole account.

Just did it yesterday after realizing that the only real use Reddit got was bookmarking funny cats and doom scrolling. Twitter is next, just gotta save some "useful media" first

I’m probably gonna keep my account but only use it on desktop with Ad blocker. If they break it with ad blocker I might delete but not sure. It’s hard to delete something I’ve been using for so long but I’ll definitely not use their shitty mobile app

Not yet. I'm waiting to watch it all fall apart. Definitely going to suck losing out on so many communities. But I'm no longer interested in the direction its going and have been using boost for a decade to browse. I rarely use reddit on desktop and refuse to use their bloated app. It's strayed so far from its original design philosophy that deleting it probably won't hurt all that much.

I'm waiting on a data request for the rest of my history, though I did that 6mo ago for other reasons and still have it so if the delay is too long I'll just lose those months.

After that I'll probably keep my account for a while to spam moving to Lemmy until I get banned.

Not yet. I want to watch and participate in the absolute chaos happening. It's a train wreck, great entertainment.

But as soon as the API key is revoked I'm gone. Well I already spend more time here.

Not deleted, but exploring the alternatives.

Annoyingly, even thought I don't want to support Reddit. There is still going to be some useful things on Reddit, but I really hope most the community move over to here, or somewhere else.

Doubt Ill ever delete it, just abandon it.

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

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

Just today, some hours ago.

I see no particular need to delete my account or any of its content, personally. I know it's everybody's own decision but frankly it strikes me as kind of needlessly destructive, like torching a restaurant because you no longer enjoy eating there. Other people still do, there's no reason to take it from them.

If Reddit evolves in such a way that I no longer find it useful or enjoy going there, I'll just stop. I'm actually happy if my old data remains useful to others - lots of times I go searching Google for information and wind up in an old Reddit thread, for example.

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

I requested my data this morning, once I get it, I'll delete my history. But reddit will almost certainly still be far too useful, and as long as old exists, my main access is there. Though I'll stop using it on my phone, but that's rare anyway.

There currently is simply no alternative, lemmy is still far too rough around the edges for mainstream-ish adoption, it even feels a bit too rough for me (mainly because it's more new.reddit meme inspired than text old.reddit and because accessibility is bad)

Purged everything this morning bar for one last comment on the Apollo thread. Currently using kbin.social - exploring my options, but I wont be returning to Reddit.

No, but I'm migrating most of my usage here. Some small subreddits will probably never be replicated here and I like talking about smaller games and bands sometimes.

I did - this rings too reminiscent of Twitter for me. I really dislike the native app, and the desktop app is all but unusable on my devices (why? I have no idea, we’re talking recent MacBooks with the m-series processors and gaming PC’s…). I also really dislike ads, and while I think there were options available to pay Reddit for no ads (premium?) it didn’t feel like my subscription money was going to the right place since Reddit is all user generated content. Unlike platforms like YouTube, where the users who create the content openly discuss how their revenue is generated, I’m not even sure the money I would pay to Reddit for premium would benefit the content creators on their site. So yeah, I’m really not going to struggle to use Reddit anymore. RIP Apollo.

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

Not quite, but I also don’t really want to go back to reddit. I’m seeing some great alternatives on the rise, so I can sense I’ll be deleting the profile at some point. Just haven’t pulled that trigger yet.

My plan is to drop and delete Reddit on June 30th.

What I have not figured out yet, is where to post my goodbye. Any ideas?

I have deleted Apollo off of my phone, but I plan to still use the few tiny sub reddit communities that I enjoy. However, I am actively avoiding r/all and major subs that are just meme factories.

I removed all my posts and comments but kept account alive, at best I'll be lurking.

I've barely got any posts on there, so I've kind of just left my account for now. I'll purge it later on once I feel like all of my niche communities I need are elsewhere.

I however, do not visit it more than once a day now though, and I expect that frequency to drop-off (primarily for local level news right now - too small to expect them to migrate elsewhere for now)

Deleted Reddit Sync app off my phone. This will drop my Reddit activity 99.99%. Keeping account in case I need to look something up down the road.

I'm exploring my options.

As long as old.reddit exists and there is a large community, I'll be 'stuck' with Reddit. I'm not there for the platform - I'm there for the people. I'll go where the people go.

As far as mobile usage goes, I don't know. Without an 'Apollo for Lemmy' or 'Lemmy is Fun' - I'm hanging around waiting for something to happen.

Reddit is the longest I've had a social media account after Facebook - pushing in my 12th year. And I've participated in a lot of social media and message boards that came and went.

In my experience, websites sites die quickly when leadership prioritizes scraping profits over a user experience. And look, I completely understand and respect that companies need to earn revenue. However, it's a two-way relationship. Users will always flock to a more streamlined and accessible experience.

It's why Pandora > Shoutcast/iTunes Radio. It's why Spotify > Pandora. And it's why Netflix > Blockbuster. It's why after years of using Fark.com for news engagement, I joined Reddit. It gave me a far superior experience (not that Fark was ever bad).

I really like Lemmy. And I like the concept of federated spaces. But whether or not the concept is a big enough draw is really to be determined - especially without knowing what the mobile experience looks like.

All this to say.. I'll delete my account when it's no longer relevant. If I can get truly unique food and drink recommendations for my local city here, with enthusiastic participants all joining in the conversation - that's what I'll need to bury the past 12 years of online activity.

I literally just deleted my account as of a few minutes ago. Read the thread from Christian about him shutting down the Apollo app, read the thread about how shit the Reddit team was treating him (and presumably, they probably treated other third-party devs similarly), and decided that since I was trying to quit Reddit anyways, might as well pull the plug now.

I've been eying out the Fediverse stuff for a while now, but that was the final push to go and join this place to trial it out and see how I like it.

I did. The account was 7 years old. I'd deleted old comments a few times before, but this time i went all in and deleted everything and the account. I have an alt that I never posted from and rarely logged into. I'm going to delete it soon, just interested in what happens today and then probably delete it tonight.

I don't use an account for browsing, Infinity let me subscribe to subreddits without an account.

I’m waiting til after the blackout. Afterwords I’m pulling the plug.

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 haven't yet, but will do on the 30th (after running Redact before Sync stops working. What I have done is requested my data, removed all the posts and customisation from the subs I moderate (r/fryup being the biggest at 30k users) and set them to private.

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

I deleted my accounts every few years anyway

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

Mate I deleted my account as soon as they announced the API change.

I know that BS trajectory. Reddit has been killing off the mobile website for a while, probably going for the old reddit too.

Fuck 'em.

I've deleted my 16 years worth of comments and post history. I now spend my time between here and Tildes, and just go back to reddit watch it burn.

I’ve been a 10+ year user of Reddit with multiple accounts over the years. During that time, I’ve deleted accounts and created new ones for the sake of privacy. There is no value lost in these situations.

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.
