Have you left reddit forever? Have you deleted your account and posts? Just curious

  • I’m moving here permanently and never looking back, but I’m leaving my accounts because that’s 11 years worth of comments that someone may find useful in the future. I hate the idea of losing all the good comments and discussions that have taken place over the years but I understand why people wish to delete their stuff regardless.

  • Lemmy needs a useable search - either integrated or indexed via search engines. Major use of reddit for me is treating it as a giant forum, seeking answers to questions.

    Doom scrolling comes second. I need a way to swipe away posts I have no interest in to hide them forever.

    I will probably never be entirely done with reddit unless the knowledgebase portion dries up.

    Well, I’ve been here since before the blackout. I’ve been following the Fediverse for a while, registered on Diaspora, Mastodon and others.

    The only reason I wasn’t really using Lemmy much, or at all, is because there were not many people to interact with. But look at it now!

    I have indeed already left Twitter for good, using only Fosstodon, I might as well leave Reddit for good.

    I’d prefer Lemmy. Since there are still many subs missing, I don’t delete my Reddit yet. I just don’t login there for at least two weeks. If Lemmy still exists then, I guess we are over it.

  • I’m still on the fence. I’d very much like to jump ship API changes or not, Reddit is only going to become more and more corporate over time and I think that goes directly against what a platform like that should be

    I’m trying it out and if it takes off like I’m hoping I’ll stick around. Like the idea of a more decentralised internet, matrix too but much harder to get people to move from discord without some big catalyst like this

    I had a 13 yo account. Used Redact to delete my entire history, and then deleted the entire account. So I can’t go back! Lemmy/kbin/mastodon is where I’ll stay.

    I do. My sole account there is actively promoting migration and boycott, 90% of the posts/comments is in Reddit Alternatives and 10% in ModCoord (throwing gasoline on the fire).

    I’ve been increasingly frustrated by reddit for years. The API issue was the final straw. I had 3 accounts and deleted all 3 just before the blackout. I left some posts because I didn’t know how to nuke it all without doing it manually. But I doubt anyone viewed anything I posted as valuable, so I’m not bothered. I’m just glad to be rid of reddit, to be honest.
