I'm out. Nixed mine. Honestly I was never a huge power user so it's not too big a loss.

I’ll be deleting my 10+ year account once Apollo dies. May lurk in a few communities for a bit until there’s something similar here.

I will probably wait until r/programmerhumor goes dark to delete

I'm not deleting, just abandoning. I had another person step up to mod the only community I was modding.

[–] Crabhands@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (8 children)

I have. And i would love for it to be permanent, but that's going to depend on if Lemmy continues to build content. At the end of the day, I like this platform but without content I won't stay. Current momentum is looking fantastic though, and I will continue to comment and add my pieces!

Fully deleted. Never going back. To be honest, I was looking for a reason to get off. Glad it’s done.

[–] fl1ghtless@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I deleted my 10 year old account and haven't looked back. It was all useless karma after all.

[–] Marko@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I didn't delete my account, but my local community and I have switched to Discord and Lemmy. I think I'm now spending more time on these two services than on Reddit.

I am going to wait until the blackout in two days I think. If reddit doesn't back down on their decision I am going to delete the app.

[–] mrmaine@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Not yet. I will do so by the end of June.

[–] imekon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm debating it, but deleting content seems pretty much a lot of work.

I've been lurking on regularly cycled usernames, so that was pretty easily done. I haven't deleted Slide yet, but since it'll stop working on 30th, that's a given. I'm going to try my best to help build up the niche communities like hardware focused ones on lemmy

[–] lea@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I don't really want to delete content potential googlers could stumble upon and be helped by, but I've replaced the Relay shortcut on my homescreen with a Jerboa shortcut. That's as good as deleted cause that's all I access reddit through.

[–] gratux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] FFF982@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna keep my reddit account around as long as boost keeps working.

[–] SplashingCobalt@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'll keep my reddit until Sync stop working.

[–] archchan@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] nLuLukna@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year 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.

I just decided to move here permanently myself.

[–] solor@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Didn't delete my reddit account and probably won't. Just leaving it abandoned and lurk every once in a while.

[–] __jov@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I won't delete my account, atleast not in the foreseeable future. Won't install the official app though and stop using reddit on mobile entirely. There's just so much resources and old content available on reddit, and a lot that I've saved, that's next to impossible to migrate anywhere. I'll keep my account for that, and just that so I can access it when I need to.

[–] mangel@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've deleted my comments and posts and find Reddit then restored them a few hours later.

So I've written some Python to delete them automatically and have it run on a schedule. Fuck 'em. A week later and Reddit are still restoring my data for the script to delete.

[–] Kissaki@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I value my content and the communities too much (despite its problems). I won't be deleting my account, and definitely not the content I posted.

I don't know yet what will happen to my usage and contribution level. Maybe it will only be on desktop PC from now on. We will see.

[–] marcellogalhardo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't delete it but I stop using it for now. I will hold for a few months to see how things develop and decide what to do next. I use Reddit mostly due to Developer communities (Android, Kotlin, etc) which doesn't seem to exist in Lemmy, yet.

I hope the communities migrate here with time but overall, I'm finding the servers a little confusing and the Android app has space to improve.

[–] hawdini@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Not sure yet, a lot of subs haven't set up on Lemmy yet. Hoping that'll change after the blackout next week.
