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.

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.

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

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'm done.... Was a user and contributor since the very early days. Out of principle l shall not be returning!

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.

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.

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 have too much history on Reddit to want to delete my account, I just intend to use Lemmy instead going forward

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 have a lot of things saved so I'll probably keep it until I can extract what I want to keep.

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

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. :(

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!

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

Doubt Ill ever delete it, just abandon it.

I deleted the app but not my account. I thought about going back someday, but honestly I don't think I will. The last few days without reddits pessimistic view (at least how I see it) have actually been great.

I've already deleted my reddit account a few days ago, never gonna use reddit for the foreseeable future.

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'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.
