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.

I'm out. Nixed mine. Honestly I was never a huge power user so it's not too big a loss.
I've been lurking on regularly cycled usernames, so that was pretty easily done. I haven't deleted Slide yet, but since it'll stop working on 30th, that's a given. I'm going to try my best to help build up the niche communities like hardware focused ones on lemmy
I'm debating it, but deleting content seems pretty much a lot of work.
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.
I value my content and the communities too much (despite its problems). I won't be deleting my account, and definitely not the content I posted.
I don't know yet what will happen to my usage and contribution level. Maybe it will only be on desktop PC from now on. We will see.
I am going to wait until the blackout in two days I think. If reddit doesn't back down on their decision I am going to delete the app.
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 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.
Not yet. I will do so by the end of June.
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
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.
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.
Iβm waiting til after the blackout. Afterwords Iβm pulling the plug.
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.
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)
I'm kind of emotionally attached to my main and alt account to do that, yet.
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 did,it was hard cause it had 10 years of memories on it but these new changes and the way leadership is acting I know if I where to not delete them I would come crawling back at some point rather just quit cold turkey
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
UPDATE: I pulled the plug
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.
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.
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.
Doubt Ill ever delete it, just abandon it.
I see no particular need to delete my account or any of its content, personally. I know it's everybody's own decision but frankly it strikes me as kind of needlessly destructive, like torching a restaurant because you no longer enjoy eating there. Other people still do, there's no reason to take it from them.
If Reddit evolves in such a way that I no longer find it useful or enjoy going there, I'll just stop. I'm actually happy if my old data remains useful to others - lots of times I go searching Google for information and wind up in an old Reddit thread, for example.
Already deleted all content a couple of years ago and was just lurking. Did notice that it became a chore, especially when boys became prevalent. Forced closure of 3rd party apps was the straw that broke this camels back. Itβs a shame because itβs been roughly ten years or so and Reddit truly devolved
I donβt think Iβm going to delete, but I donβt think I will engage.
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 already deleted my reddit account a few days ago, never gonna use reddit for the foreseeable future.
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.
