8 year old account just deleted, bye bye proffit driven communities. I really hope P2P and federated networks took over the internet and doom these data hoarders into oblivion

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.

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.

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’ll go back for specific things like I’d go to any website looking for a solution for an issue after googling.

I’m not browsing Reddit anymore. Place is cancer. Even before all this API stuff I was over the nfts, the unimaginative meta humor, the predictable and repetitive nature of every top comment, the puns, the thirsty comments every time someone looks somewhat attractive, the hostility, etc. Reddit feels like I’m reading chatgpt now.

I’ll miss the smaller subreddits. Hopefully they’ll come soon. That’s where interesting conversations occurred.

I don’t know when I’ll delete my account. I have a lot of “saved” items I don’t want to lose yet. If I don’t find myself using those saves after a bit I’ll delete everything.

I think I’ll sell my account and donate to lemmy project

Just waiting on a data request download for submissions (through reddits data request if there isn't a faster way) and noting/making my last few communities on Lemmy, then I'll be on my way out. Didn't expect to clear it this soon but life hits pretty fast sometimes.

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.

I’ll use it on desktop since there’s likely valuable information and discussions on it (ie. communities that aren’t on Lemmy yet)

I’ve always been more of a lurker on Reddit but I’m making it a goal to contribute more on Lemmy 🫡

I've begun the process, requested my data from them and then afterwards i'll be nuking my account

Deleted my 14 year old account today.

I still have my account and I don't plan on deleting but much like my Twitter account it'll just be there. I'll check it for the few people and communities that stay behind.

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

Planning on deleting my alt accounts, however I'm not going to delete my main account, I will just programmatically delete all my posts and comments.

I suspect that deleting accounts won't be what Reddit is looking at anyway, all they'll care about is ad revenue, and my accounts which were not generating any revenue will not bother them in the slightest.

Just deleted my 3yo account with lots of juicy karma in it, also 2 alts

I've been a long time user on Reddit. Just deleted all my posts and comments (been mostly a lurker, so not much there) using shreddit, then deleted my Reddit account and uninstalled the app (Boost - loved it) from my phone. I'm done with Reddit, the AMA and behaviour of u/spez and the other Reddit admins was just too much.

I hope I get some time back from stupidly browsing Reddit, but also don't want to miss out on some of the communities (r/adventofcode specifically, hope they make it over to Lemmy at some point).

Deleted my account & the 3rd party app on my phone. I'm only checking select subreddits through Libreddit (until it stops working).

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.

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.

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.

I emptied the content from each comment I made. Then I deleted my accounts. I'm glad to be part of these new communities and conversations.

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'll try to back up all the content I created over the years (mostly memes) and my comments, but I don't feel like using Reddit anymore.

It was convenient, but their business practices are a slap in the face of too many users, mods and devs.

I am watching the show and will keep doing that till 30th. It feels like a social experiment, I am curious to see how different sub-communities will react. Sort if similar to what happened with twitter, the day elon pulled a spez I deleted my account.

I hadn't really actively engaged with Reddit in years, and I stopped lurking almost cold turkey when they killed off the personal homepage on the mobile web interface earlier this year. I deleted my account when the Apollo news broke (I've never even used a third-party app, but it's crystal-clear what direction the wind is blowing). I only found out about lemmy after I pulled the plug.

Now to figure out how mastodon and all the other "fediverse" apps work :-)

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

Done some weeks ago already. Reddit is increasingly suffering from what Doctorow calls enshittyfication and that led me to delete my account.

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. :(

Not yet but I haven’t used it since the Apollo drama.

I'm kind of emotionally attached to my main and alt account to do that, yet.
