Reddit

Haven't visited it since June 11th and only plan on going back on June 30th to delete all my comments/posts/accounts. I already cut the cord and I'm moving on to multiple other sites. Do I miss reddit? Yes, but in my mind, the reddit I knew is already gone and it's not coming back. Even if they backed down on their stupid API policy at this point, they've done enough BS that there's not really any turning back on any of this.

I do. But I can't bring myself to delete Sync from my phone. Its only purpose is to serve as a reminder that I'm waiting for Sync for Lemmy but sometimes I click on it by accident. Muscle memory.

I do now. I'm slowly purging the communities and people I follow there as I migrate over to here.

I wouldn't know, I haven't gone since the blackouts.

I already deleted and nuked all my posts and comments. But I still need to visit it whenever i'm looking up something specific. All I can do is have adblocking in place to not give reddit a single cent for ad placement.

there are still a lot of subreddit that haven't ported to Lemmy [not porting the entire subreddit with all the post to lemmy]

I've been wanting to quit reddit for a long time. It hasn't been the same for years, and it's just gotten worse over time. I'm hoping that lemmy provides me something close to what reddit used to give me: great quality discussion and debate concerning real ideas. Maybe I'm just getting older and more bitter over time, but it seems like the entire website is inundated with children on mobile devices who can't think of any idea more complex than one which can be summed up in a single sentence and a Laughing Crying emoji. If not, I'll see if I can't get a tildes invite. But, yes, going back to reddit feels like cheating on a diet, or smoking a cigarette when you're trying to quit.

Thanks - this post made me think to check if there are browser plugins that automatically redirect Reddit links to teddit. There's teddit redirect for Firefox and teddit please for Chrome. Mobile is more difficult but it's a start.

Have had a few moments where I've been tempted to open it up, and even that makes me feel grubby.

There are far worse things I have yet to boycott though, so it doesn't feel very balanced to have such a strong reaction to this particular thing.

Will visit in a few days to ensure that my comments have remained deleted and to close my accounts. I gather Reddit has been reinstating content deleted via PowerSuiteDelete and the like. Most of mine were done long before the recent crisis, and overwritten for a while before being deleted, so am hoping that though they'll still have original versions on a server somewhere, it will be too awkward for them to bother making them visible.

May also make a GPDR deletion request. Strongly suspect these companies don't truly respect those, but it does mean they have to be a bit more cautious with relevant data.

I have reddit blocked at the router level (Eero mesh network). It's worked great, they've seen no traffic from my IP since the blackout. I habitually try to visit the site but that block has greatly helped...... until the software glitched and I started seeing reddit - turns out I had to reboot my router and that fixed the issue. But damn I felt dirty accidentally visiting the site again - but I didn't miss it, I could see it had changed.

At this point I’m just enjoying Apollo while I still can.

Personally I don't. Reddit won't go away anytime soon.

Instead, I have a reminder to delete my posted content and account when 2 days are remaining until API becomes paid. The I would only visit Reddit using desktop and never on mobile.

Tbh yes, after the recent updates on the whole thematic im activily trying to be more active on other plattforms :D

I am waiting for the backup of my data there to be ready so I can destroy my history and delete my account, so for a while I've been visiting daily, but after the CEO expressed his love of piece of shit extraordinaire Elon Musk, I have no interest in ever logging on there again.

I quit visiting Reddit.

Yeah, I check out the existentialist french cinema shitpost images of women smoking on redscarepod and some buttcoin for the luls, via teddit. Found a decent bud of buttcoin on fediverse and I fully expect to be ready to unceremoniously stop anonymously lurking come July 1st and let reddit digg itself into a shithole.

Since I use an ad blocker, visiting reddit means I'm making them spend money for no revenue.

I've downloaded all my saved off content, and plan on deleting all my comments/posts for whatever that's worth. We'll see if they restore any of it. I'll probably delete my accounts some time after the 1st.

I haven't taken baconreader off my phone yet because I'm not ready, but I also don't visit Reddit anymore either. I'm pretty happy on Lemmy right now, and I was thinking about giving Mastodon a go.

Unfortunately I'm visiting on old.reddit every now and again to keep up with sport news. Once the transfer window is over it's goodbye Vienna.

No, but my last visit is likely on the horizon

I either use ad-block or the "unsanctioned" RiF app and am only there to watch it die rather than engage

Only delaying deleting my account to give them a fair chance to course-correct before the apps that make it usable shut down (or tweak their codebase to work with Lemmy)

I treat the blackout and what came after (replaced mods, etc) as a strike. I don’t cross picket lines and I don’t support scabs.
