My account is one I made for work related purposed and has ~140 karma with very little identifiable information about me. I won't delete it, but I'm no longer using Reddit as a time-waster. I'm diversifying and have signed up here, kbin, Mastodon and PixelFed.

Mate I deleted my account as soon as they announced the API change.
I know that BS trajectory. Reddit has been killing off the mobile website for a while, probably going for the old reddit too.
Fuck 'em.
I haven't yet, but will do on the 30th (after running Redact) before Sync stops working. What I have done is requested my data, removed all the posts and customisation from the subs I moderate (r/fryup being the biggest at 30k users) and set them to private.
I deleted my accounts every few years anyway
I used the power delete suite to get a backup of all my shit, change all comments to "bye reddit" and then delete them. I'm done with reddit unless spez is gone and they back track waaaay the fuck back
I have not deleted it yet in hopes that they will roll back / cancel the api changes. I will not be using it until they do however. Lemmy seems like a really wholesome place so far.
June 30th is my date. I have a 13 year old account and a 8 year old account. I'm considering options what to do with the accounts. I'm split between selling them or nuking all the comments and deleting them.
I've deleted my 16 years worth of comments and post history. I now spend my time between here and Tildes, and just go back to reddit watch it burn.
I've barely got any posts on there, so I've kind of just left my account for now. I'll purge it later on once I feel like all of my niche communities I need are elsewhere.
I however, do not visit it more than once a day now though, and I expect that frequency to drop-off (primarily for local level news right now - too small to expect them to migrate elsewhere for now)
Iβm waiting til after the blackout. Afterwords Iβm pulling the plug.
Deleted my account & the 3rd party app on my phone. I'm only checking select subreddits through Libreddit (until it stops working).
I plan to, and almost certainly will by the end of the month.
I'm sticking around just long enough to see how the blackout goes and to watch a bit of the resulting dumpster fire after tho.
RIP to RIF
Just did it yesterday after realizing that the only real use Reddit got was bookmarking funny cats and doom scrolling. Twitter is next, just gotta save some "useful media" first
I already deleted all my comments and posts and when the time comes and RIF is down I'll delete my whole account.
Iβll be deleting my 10+ year account once Apollo dies. May lurk in a few communities for a bit until thereβs something similar here.
I was always a lurker on Reddit so I donβt have to worry about purging post or comment history. I literally just havenβt gotten around to deleting it yet. Iβll miss the more local niche communities, but theyβll show up here and in other places in time.
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.
My plan is to drop and delete Reddit on June 30th.
What I have not figured out yet, is where to post my goodbye. Any ideas?
I've deleted all the posts in my 12 year account but I find it hard to nuke the whole account.
They sure aren't going to make any more money off of me though.
I'm kind of emotionally attached to my main and alt account to do that, yet.
I'm not deleting, just abandoning. I had another person step up to mod the only community I was modding.
I think I'm still holding out hope that they will come to their senses, but I'll probably delete eventually.
Fully deleted. Never going back. To be honest, I was looking for a reason to get off. Glad itβs done.
I'm out. Nixed mine. Honestly I was never a huge power user so it's not too big a loss.
Purged everything this morning bar for one last comment on the Apollo thread. Currently using kbin.social - exploring my options, but I wont be returning to Reddit.
No, but I'm migrating most of my usage here. Some small subreddits will probably never be replicated here and I like talking about smaller games and bands sometimes.
I don't plan on deleting my reddit accounts to be honest, I put way too much work in them, plus they have some saved posts that I really need and use as a reference from time to time. Also, there are some communities there that I don't believe will shift over here (for some, I am sure they won't, since they're other not that big amd moderation is not a problem for them), so I'll mostly be using Lemmy and Reddit interchangeably.
