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.
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.
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.
I like to think I won’t go back to reddit but force of habit is hard to break even with an excellent alternative!
Yeah I’m in the same boat. I keep finding myself opening reddit just out of habit. I don’t think I’m going to delete my account but I am trying to do a better job of checking out the alternatives (and actually posting instead of just lurking…)
Yup yup, breaking habit is the hard part but ultimately for the better

I’m not planning on going back…
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’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
Would be great to leave permanently, but Reddit still has the critical mass for niche community subreddits. Hopefully that will change as people jump ship.
Pretty much between here and Tildes. I’m new here, I’ve been off and on Tildes since 2018. Both are chill.
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’ll deffo be staying on Lemmy, ain’t going back to reddit
I only use my phone so I’ll bounce between both until Relay stops working and then stop using Reddit. If Relay keeps working then I’ll keep using Reddit. Simple.
same. when reddit is fun goes dark ill probably quit using reddit. I figure once the api changes happen old.reddit will be on the chopping block to and i refuse to use reddit’s new format.
I deleted my 14+ year account (after deleting my content) right after the AMA: never going back. Have used RIF for as long as it has been around and it’s going dark June 30. Bridge burned. No regrets.
