Reddit Migration

Not really, but I had already habituated myself to nuking accounts and deleting posts routinely long before now. I regret Reddit became what it is, not disconnecting from that.

No regrets. No interest in going back. The future is federated.

I didn't delete my account but did delete RIF once it stopped working. I was mostly a lurker on reddit and the few comments and posts i did make are of little to no value to the platform.

I figured wasting a few MB of space on a harddrive would be a more effective protest than doing them a favor and deleting my admittedly worthless content.

I started routinely deleting my comments anyhow after someone creeped me out by searching through my history for ammunition to use in an argument. I just deleted the five or six recent ones I hadn’t done yet, and that was that. I’ve kept my account because it might come in handy at some point, but I’ve only been on Reddit once in the past few weeks.

still have not done it. still have not recieved my data. got to get off my ass and email complain to them and maybe look to see how to make a gdpr complaint or how long before they are in violation

I haven't deleted mine, but I no longer visit the site. I mostly nuked the content on my account a few years ago. Sure there's some stuff now, but it's nothing important. I'm just leaving it there for convenience.

That said I'm mostly moving off of corporate owned media. I put links to my new stuff on my accounts on those sites.

No ragrets at all! Not even one letter! My biggest problem is trying to figure out how to manage all of the similarly named magazines and communities.

No regrets. reddit basically made the choice for me.

I haven’t nuked my account yet and will only do so once I am certain that all my comments are permanently deleted (some were missed due to a design limitation in the way Reddit finds them). But practically speaking, I am no longer using that account, so it is functionally equivalent to having deleted it.

I have no regret so far. Deleting my trail of crumbs has assuaged my fear of doxxing (which, in all honesty, is orthogonal to the API shutdown fiasco and was worth doing selectively anyway). It has also given me back time that I would spend mindlessly doomscrolling on Reddit. I am now more deliberate in my use of social media and the Fediverse, which is an improvement in my online habits. For that I am grateful.
