This was a really hard decision for me but I purged all my posts, votes and comments via Shreddit. I then deleted all my accounts. I've been on Reddit since it was just a baby website. I love Reddit, the friends and the communities I was involved in changed my life for the better.

We'll see how it goes but the only way we are going to win this fight is to walk away from Reddit. We have to send a message to them and the only way to do that is to hit them where it really hurts, right in the wallet.

Change is a good thing and I am ready to embrace it. I'm all in on kbin now. Let's see where we go from here 🍻

Same. Just did it today. I've also been on reddit since the beginning and I'm done.

Moving to the new, better online community and leaving Reddit to become what it becomes now is winning, in my opinion.

I don't even want to win any fight anymore. I don't want to use Reddit regardless of what they do with the API anymore. The API changes and the way that they have reacted to the backlash is just the straw that broke the camel's back. And even if they revert all of the changes it's too late to take back the way they've acted.

Y u p. I'd been thinking about getting out for a while; management of the site has sucked for some time, and it was pretty clear things weren't going to get better. They have, instead, gotten significantly worse. This was a nice kick, with a lot of push towards getting a critical mass of users onto a new platform. Even if most of the reddfugees don't stick, some will, and kbin / the fediverse can keep rolling forward. I deleted a 2 year account, and a 13 year account. Cya!

I use to like it, but really, reddit has been crap for a long long time.

Same boat here but, I am really enjoying this fresh new community on kbin. Each day there are more and more new posts which looks promising.

Yup. I was on reddit since before subreddits were even a thing. Good riddance.
