1 main, 1 alt, and a throwaway. 5, 5 and 3 years, with 14K karma between them. I wasn’t a power user, but I wasn’t exactly casual.
I had some great conversations, I had a lot of fun, I met the woman I love on Reddit. But it’s clear that we’re not users to them, we’re just free content to be monetized so Reddit can boost their IPO. That doesn’t interest me.
Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my posts and then delete them. I’ll keep the accounts around until I’m sure u/spez or one of his minions don’t edit them back but I’m done. There’s no going back, only forward.
Feels good.
Nice, I edited all of my posts too a few days ago. I haven’t deleted my account yet because I’m worried that Reddit will go back and undo my edits…
One unexpected side effect is some of my subs disallow calling out usernames directly, and since I said a rude word about u/spez the auto mod nuked my comment anyway. So those won’t be back in any form. Thanks, Reddit!
Reddit definitely did that with my comments. I have been going back there every few days and every single time a good chunk of my edits were reverted. I finally went ahead and deleted all my comments on Friday and today a lot of them were back. I thought about deleting my account but it says this doesn’t delete your comments and submissions. so now I’m keeping my account to just delete my comments regularly…
To lazy to use power delete I just got my accounts perm banned. Which also deleted all my comments.
Did exactly the same with my account yesterday. Good riddance, Reddit.
I deleted my two year account two or three weeks ago. It was my second account, after a one year hiatus. 2,8K karma. most of it from comments. I posted most frequently on r/ADHD and on r/r4r.
Due to anxiety and rejection sensitive dysphoria, I almost never read any reply or private message after posting a comment on certain subreddits. I guess reddit was not a good site for undiagnosed/untreated ADHD & ASD people.
Things changed a lot since I joined Kbin and since I’m more active on Lemmy. I regret nothing.
I had a very similar experience. Most of my comments I deleted in a few seconds/minutes because there was no shortage of assholes on top of me being a nervous wreck. I was on Reddit for over a decade and I’ve been more active on here than nearly my entire time on Reddit (I have several alts here for other instances and for curating several different kinds of feeds).
Some subreddits I miss and sometimes there’s not much new content to go through or interact with, but I feel like it’ll probably be better to get a little bored with the feed every now and then and read a fucking book or basically anything else. And besides it’s still all taking form, but I really am liking Lemmy more in general.
Same as me, during my active time since three weeks ago, I posted and commented more than during my last months on Reddit. That’s a very positive point. No karma, healthier communities and the ability to choose where I want to stay.
There is absolutely a big difference between having one or two assholes from time to time replying nonsense, and having hundreds of assholes every time you breath.
Double check after a couple of days that your comments and posts are really gone gone fr fr
I nuked my Reddit comments and posts as well only to find that old comments and posts would be reaccreditted to my account a couple days later and I would have to edit then delete them again
I had to do this like 3 or 4 times before my comments and posts were finally gone gone fr fr
This is probably private subs reopening. Comments in closed subs don’t show up on your profile, and reappear after the sub reopens. Given the current situation, there are a lot of subs reopening right now.
I don’t like to delete accounts because I’m not a fan of finality, but not being able to get to Reddit with Apollo means I can’t/won’t get to Reddit at all.
I met the woman I love on Reddit.
Same story, but on Twitter. We met 11 years ago after she got drunk and posted that she wanted a boy (or girl) friend, a mutual sent me the link to her tweet, I replied, and we’ve been married for seven years. Neither of us use Twitter any more, preferring to shitpost our way around Mastodon instead.
Life goes on, even when the websites don’t.
Same. I drag long-dormant accounts behind me because you never know when you’re going to need it. But the vast majority of my Reddit use was on my phone, which meant the Apollo was Reddit for me. And really, the company behaved so shittily in that episode it totally soured me on wanting to be associated with them.
I did it like two weeks ago
I have heard so many stories on accounts being restored after using PowerDeleteSuite, what I plan to do is just delete my account so that my various comments cannot be cross-referenced as coming from the same person. I wish I could wipe it and know it would stay wiped- as a European this is within my GDPR rights, but it seems that good old spez plans to ignore GDPR.
Edited+Nuked my account of 100k+ karma and 9 years back on the 29th. Haven’t looked back.
Deleted my 15 year account. Reddit was awesome, for a time. Easy come, easy go, I suppose.
fuck /u/spez
Did mine a few days ago. 2 accounts, 10+ years. I did the Nuke Reddit thing on the oldest account but gave up when I realised that it only does so many at a time and couldn’t see a way to expand it. That account was mostly comments etc.
Wish I’d realised that all I had to do was get myself banned 😉
With the second I used PowerDeleteSuite after a recommendation on here.
Then deleted both accounts. Quick and fast, like ripping off a plaster.
No regrets. This is a far nicer place, less drama, and friendly.
Hope I haven’t cursed it now though.
