I'm done. Steve Huffman's comments have cinched it for me. The guy is a prick and doesn't give a shit about users in the slightest. I'm also welcoming the chance to disconnect from the mindless meme scrolling.

I've replaced the Boost icon on my phone with Jerboa. Have been deliberately not going to the site on my PC. If I have to, I've been doing it incognito.

Will not be renewing my reddit premium, and will not be using official shit-show of an app. I'm not going so far as to delete my account, but totally understand why people are doing so.

I’m done. Still trying to decide between kbin and lemmy for a real replacement

I'm done, thought I might stay until the third party apps lost functionality, but I like it here, and happy to ditch Reddit

I left this week. Am still trying to get the reddit experience via lemmy though. Need to have highly specialized communities, engaged user bases, and easy UI experience. Not quite there yet, but we'll get there.

I'm out. 12 year account, which I've currently left open but with all comments deleted. It's mostly just open to get my data take out so I can make sure all my comments and topics are removed.

Currently on Tildes and Kbin/Lemmy. I figure this still likely be the account I stay active on due to the local focus.

I mod a tiny sub with 12k members that I'm trying to decide what to do with. Thinking I'll just make every member a mod and let it dissolve in to chaos.

Can't believe the way Reddit as a company has decided to treat it's users. All that free content and labour given just to be spat on. Crash and burn you fucks.

I've kept my account 'just in case', but in reality I have no intention of going back, on principle now. Too much trust has been burnt away.

After the AMA I overwrote my comments and deleted accounts. Regardless of the API pricing, spez has to go.

I've deliberately overwritten my comment history with a garbled message. Now, I'm waiting until the end of the month to delete the account. This is to boost the statistics following the upcoming API changes, so there's no mistake what prompted that decision.

I keep accidentally opening it and then closing it in disgust

I’m totally done with Reddit, but that doesn’t mean I won’t miss it. I know Reddit can harbour a bunch of chronically online people, but nearly every interaction I had on there was wholesome. I miss the niche communities and the sense of belonging. I won’t ever go back though, primarily because of the constant ads, but also because the CEO has shown what kind of attitude he’s planning to drive Reddit forward with. I hope as time goes on, Lemmy will continue to grow, sparking intellectual and helpful posts and communities.

I'll probably still occasionally visit reddit because there are some subs I am in that are just such mature communities, they are still a useful resource.

That being said, I LOVE the old school web vibes of Lemmy. I love the lack of ads. I didn't realize how much I really missed the pre MAANG internet. It wasn't until Lemmy began to fill the void that I realized it was there, and it is so fucking exciting having some of that wild west energy back.

I still check it often but when 3rd party apps are killed that’s a hard stop date for me. Can’t deal with the official app or site.

I'm not sure yet. Lemmy will end up being fine for lurking cool memes and seeing pictures of whales or whatever, but reddit's massive userbase was always the draw (and the curse). I asked a question about how to install a particular air intake vent in my home and reddit is big enough that somebody was able to answer that (and correctly). Lemmy is nowhere near that big yet. Not even close. Won't be close for a long time, if ever.

And that's just active users. Lemmy is missing the staggering volume of already-answered questions in the past, for every subject I could imagine. And it never will have those unless they're painstakingly ported over, and there frankly aren't enough users to do that even if we wanted to.

In short, day to day I think I'm good on Lemmy but it's a terrible shame that all those users and all those comment threads are wasted on that shitty company.

Created an account here yesterday, and deleted my Reddit account a couple hours later.

Life is too short to deal with greedy asshole CEOs.

I'm deleting mine on the last day of the month. Until then there are many pictures of Jon Oliver to upvote. (/r/pics, /r/gifs, /r/aww, /r/art)

...And pictures of vacuum cleaners. (/r/wellthatsucks)

...Along with pictures of pressurized water vapor and its many scientific uses. (/r/steam)

These communities are bringing out their best malicious compliance for the final hoorah, and the least I can do is help them find their way to the front page.

I haven't opened RIF since the blackouts started, and it's been pretty nice actually. It really helped stop my endless doom scrolling.

I believe I'm going to stick with Lemmy for good!

I'm genuinely done with Reddit. If they got a new CEO, new higher ups and what not then maybe I'd go back but I wouldn't go back until I saw proof it had changed.

As of right now Reddit can burn in hell.

I haven't been back since the blackout "ended". I am gun shy about deleting my 15 year old account. I fucking hate spez. His face pisses me off. If punchable face wasn't banned he would be on it.

I was thoroughly addicted to reddit, the blackout made me realize that. I like the fediverse, so I'm going to stay here.

Yeah, I'm absolutely done with it. I deleted my phone app, and blocked it in my browsers and I haven't looked back.

It's all downhill from here for Reddit users.

I figure we may as well start now on building communities on Lemmy and other fediverse platforms which are inherently resistant to the 'enshittification' paradigm.

I'm finding Lemmy to be quite nice at the moment with the smaller userbase. I miss a few subreddits, sure, but anything worthwhile will end up with a Lemmy counterpart sooner or later.

I'm out. I was waiting to see what happened after the blackout, but with the reports of submissions being restored after deletion, subreddits being forced to reopen, and the CEO doubling down and saying he looks at Musk and Twitter as some kind of success story, I'm done.

Logged in today and downloaded a list of the subreddits I was subscribed to, and then deleted all my submissions. I haven't deleted the account yet, mostly because I want to go through my saved list and make sure there's nothing I want to keep from there. And a little bit of morbid curiosity to see if anything I purged today will mysteriously reappear.

Working on it... Getting the hang of Lemmy and Jerboa pretty quickly I think

Yep ditched, and this is my first post on Lemmy.

Before the protest, I completely scrubbed my post and comment history.

For the blackout itself, I closed the browser tab, uninstalled Infinity, and blackholed Reddit's domains on my Pi-holes.

After the first couple of days of the blackout, once the admins started seizing control of certain subs and booting out the mods, I went back and deleted my account.

Finally, I re-blackholed Reddit's domains, and also added them as an exclusion regex to my Whoogle searches, so they don't even turn up in my search results.

Fuck those cunts. Not one more bit of data from me again.

I haven't used Reddit since I discovered Lemmy. I was a lurker on Reddit and just browsed /r/all. That was a pretty unhealthy habit, glad that the black out happened honestly.

My account was 13 years old... back from the great Digg migration.

Over the past decade I've been very active on a range of subs, with a more recent focus on professional technology, politics and gaming.

Over the years I'd amassed in excess of 300k comment karma, and not an insignificant bit of post karma (mostly from back in the SCO tech war).

I'm walking away at this point... even if spez was kicked out the door by the Board the bad faith shown is just the straw that broke the dromedary's back.

Since I am within the scope of GDPR and I want this to be painful on them (plus there are useful bits i refer to from my old history from time to time)... I've issued the GDPR data request and intend to follow through with a "right to be forgotten" GDPR data deletion request once that's been fulfilled.

I'm trying to be done with it. I lasted through the blackout and a couple of extra days. I feel dirty going back, but there is still a lot of content there.

I'm still using it, but less. When my preferred app dies at the end of the month here, I'll probably stop altogether.

I have zero want to go back to reddit. This is what I hoped and wished for in reddit. Something I didn't know I wanted till I found it. I don't need a corporation getting involved with my human interactions. I've found the people who have switched are generally more intelligent too as a bonus. The content is just icing on top of thought provoking comments for me. That's not really reddits forte. All the people who wrote nice comments are probably here now.

Reddit is a glorified search engine now. It's a closed system. If I need something specific, I may stumble upon it, but I will not interact. I haven't even had to do that all week. Maybe I never did need to do any of that.

I want to cut out the middle man and get to the point. I want to push the boundaries of thought. I don't know, but I'm enjoying it.

I've deleted all my posts and comments, and I'm not planning on going back. It's not only what they implemented, but also how they are treating app creators and moderators.

I got permabanned because politics banned me for something stupid and then I forgot about the ban while logged in under a different name, posted some random shitpost, and then boom, all accounts permabanned. It was a few weeks ago and I'm still in shock tbh, I was a user for 15 years and now I'm persona non grata. I still browse a bit but fuck 'em.

I'm on the fence about it. I was part of the Digg migration and made it into the Eternity Club. I've supported the black-out and will continue to do so, but I have a soft-spot for the site and even if I'm not active on there for the time-being, I won't be deleting my account. My 'on the shitter' site switched from Reddit to TikTok a couple of years ago, so I won't miss that, but there is a vast amount of pornography on the site that is neatly contained and easily filtered that will be hard to replace.

There's enough Lemmy instances with enough users to satisfy my meme addiction, I have absolutely no reason to go back.,

Still using it but spending more and more time on kbin and Lemmy. Reddit has become quite an unpleasant experience now. I don't know if it's always been that way and I'm just noticing it now or if something has changed with the blackouts.

Last time i visited was on 11th and I'm not going back unless they reverse their course. I like Lemmy and will continue using it regardless.

Haven't used my account for a few days now, and it has been surprisingly easy. I'll definitely stay on lemmy, it has huge potential.

yep, same approach. tbh, this feels like a step in the right direction, provided this doesn't end up another LNP shillfest like the Aus subreddits.

I'm still trying to figure out whether to use kbin vs. lemmy. Kbin is making alot more sense.

I'm about 50% there ditching Reddit for Federated servers. I miss the apps for reddit that have had years of development, but so far Lemmy scratches the itch enough. Once RES and Bacon Reader (yes I'm one of the dozens) die then I'll probably delete my account. The stock Reddit site is nearly unusable with all the ads and I've never used the official reddit app and probably never will.

I have been trialing Lemmy and kbin today. The real downside to Lemmy for me is the login! I can't even login sometimes. I thought it was only the account creation that was the problem.

I used to subscribe and pay them actual money. I cancelled my subscription and am done with it.

I deleted all my accounts, posts, and comments. Been on the site since around 2009 in one way or another. I'm all in on Lemmy and doing my part by submitting content to subs so there's some activity.

I used to have a Reddit tab open all the time on my phone and PC, and spent hours scrolling.

I've now drastically cut down on my time there, mostly just skimming through r/Perth and that's it. I also use it to help my kid with Minecraft stuff but I'm looking for alternatives. It's such a pity because it's a treasure trove of knowledge and I don't even use 3rd party apps, but the contempt and disrespect shown to users is just terrible.

I'm still on there for a few subreddits that haven't bothered with the blackouts, and there is no Lemmy alternative at the moment.

I use Sync so I imagine once 1/7 rolls round I won't be on there any more. I swapped the Sync and Lemmy icons on my phone though, so by habit I now open Lemmy 😆

I have. I hardly ever commented on Reddit but am trying to make more of an effort here. I'll go if there's some tech solution or game guide in a specific comment that Google leads me to, but no longer will I use it for idle browsing.

Yep, all contents and accounts gone. I can really hold a grudge. And quitting Facebook, then insta then twitter was followed by an increase in my happiness, so it’s a huge incentive. Nothing is going away, nothing is being lost. People, the real value of these platforms, still exist, and will repopulate other platforms with content really fast.

I have the boost for reddit app. To me that's reddit. When that stops working I'll delete the app and that will be the end of it. Hopefully one day there will be a boost for lemmy.

No more Reddit for me. I deleted my account

Yep... Probably. If bacon reader stops working, then definitely.

Either way I feel dirty looking, so I think we are done lol.

I deleted my account on Wednesday. I loved Reddit, but without RIF it's useless to me. Also the more I read about the Fediverse the more I think it's the proper way for social media to work in the future of the Internet.

I have definitely been a lot more active around here. A lot of people talk about deleting their old accounts, but I have a hard time bringing myself to do that to mine, not because I want to be active on Reddit, but just because there is a lot of history that I'm anxious about losing I guess.

I've been on Reddit a few times since the 'official blackout' ended but mostly been on Lemmy. I deleted one off my accounts. The other I've just used to browse a little. I'm not posting, commenting, or voting on anything. Probably once rif and old.reddit die, I'll be done. I've never had the misfortune to view new reddit or the official app and I don't plan to start now.

I left last year. I doubt this place will be much better from a moderation perspective but see how it goes.

Yeah I'm done with Reddit unless they do a big 180. Which I doubt they will.

Feels icky to go there, now that I know how they conduct themselves.

Done with it forever! Glad to be here

I deleted my accounts, I pop over there from time to time to check out specific subs that don't have an equivalent here yet, but that's not very often.

Not fully yet. Not all subreddits I browse have migrated or are planning to. I might slowly wean myself off it once the 3rd party apps stop working and I have enough of browsing old reddit on my phone.

haven't been back since the blackout, when temptation hits I come here instead. I've also picked up reading again. I think maybe I'll use reddit if I need advice on some product or something.

I'm done with reddit entirely. I started over 16 years ago. It was getting steadily worse year over year ever since the Digg migration. It has long since been relentlessly toxic and negative. I've been wanting a viable alternative for a long while. I'm very grateful for what spez has done as it's created multiple viable alternatives and I'm fucking loving it. Between here and Tildes, it's very close to what super old school reddit was like, and I've missed that a lot. I have no reason to go back. And with the changes both to the apps and now the user population, it'll only be worse still. Regardless, I couldn't be happier about this. This is far better. And the internet is better for it.

I’ve been here for about seven days and occasionally open my Apollo app out of habit. When that happens I come visit Lemmy. I don’t really miss Reddit.

Not that reddit will notice (adblock etc.) but haven't visited all week. Kind of enjoying avoiding it TBH.

I have not visited reddit logging in since last Sunday. I've gone to a couple subreddits from a browser not logged in to see if they were still private. I uninstalled RIF after like 12 years of use.

I miss reddit, but it's been one week since I logged in. Removed Boost (my reddit client app on my phone) and forced myself to not go there. Since then I discovered Lemmy, and since I use mastodon as well, it's interesting to see both interconnectable. I'll see in the long run, but I don't think I'll use my reddit account again. (unless there is big changes, but even then, I'm not sure)

I left and am enjoying Lemmy. I might join some of the subreddit discords for good memes to cross-post in the future and to recruit more lemons once the servers are more stable.

I’m there a little at the moment whilst my apps of choice (Apollo and ReddPlanet) are still operational. However it’s nothing g like it used to be (the blackout has worked from that regard) and I’m over here more often now.

This website is really promising!! I already like you can see # of upvotes and downvotes on a comment and can add pictures and stuff to your comment. I've been here for a solid 10 minutes though

I miss certain subreddits, mostly the TalesFrom ones (especially TalesFromTechsupport and TalesFromTheFrontdesk), but I've edited all my comments and posts that aren't rebuttals to misinformation. Just saying why I'm leaving Reddit (mostly the lies and greed of the company) and inviting people to kbin. I haven't deleted my account in case Reddit tries to undo my edits.

Other than that, I've managed to go cold turkey ever since the blackout began.

Edit: Oh, this was a Brisbane-specific community. Didn't realise, sorry.

I haven’t looked at Reddit since the eve of the Reddit Blackout. I switched to kbin and moved Apollo to a second iPhone Home Screen I call “The Memorial to Great iOS Apps Killed by Assholes” (it also contains Twitterrific).

I’ve added the web app icon for kbin to where Apollo used to be, and good old muscle memory has taken care of any absent-minded Reddit visits that might otherwise happen.

I have mostly ditched it, but I got back occasionally to see if I can't get people to move over and to see what's up

i only use it when i have to, I mainly come on here as well as kbin.

Deleted my reddit account. Trying this new federated stuff is more fun anyways.
Onboarding should be easier, so less tech savvy people can join too. Right now it is like choosing an linux distro.

I've almost ditched it. The only traffic they get from me is when I search for something and add site:reddit.com out of instinct to filter out the SEO crap.

I genuinely loaded it up perhaps 3 times in the last 5 days or so and those were on accident, with me leaving immediately again. I‘m committed to this in a similar way I am committed to quit smoking, ~280 days without a cigarette.

Starting today, I'll try to not open reddit once, and start to learn more about the federative "system" or whatever youw want to call it. I think it definitely will be hard, but i do see a lot of possibility here in lemmy and in the federative in general! I've also moved away from twitter and on to mastodon.

I was already on the fediverse, though I still use reddit for some stuff, I probably will only post here and use reddit read-only from now on though. I did the same with twitter awhile back and now I just don't read twitter.

On a slight tangent I also found on the fediverse I get more engagement than on twitter or whatever, so I really never found it hard to move. While on twitter you might blow up and end up in the news (if you think thats a good thing lol), the fediverse your more likely to get actual engagement but your less likely to end up on the news. Though sometimes now you do! Which is weird lol.

Deleted everything 2 days before the blackout.

Also didn’t want to wait till the end of the month incase there was an influx of people at the end when the API becomes paid.

No regrets.

Ironically, the only interaction I have with reddit now are links posted to kbin/lemmy.

Occasionally a Google result. But I'm done with it, whatever I was getting from reddit I'm getting from Kbin now.

I haven't been back since the protest began and it's been generally fine. I miss a few communities, but I'm seeing some that I've liked at least beginning to have a presence here.

Me, I'm here to stay.

I used Reddit exclusively through third party apps, without them I have no want to use the site anymore.

And with spez proving how much of a massive bellend he is, it only reinforces my decision.

I've yet to find a good alternative to /r/Games, though their official Discord is pretty good.

Most of the gaming communities I've seen on Kbin/Lemmy are either a lot more specialized, or are overrun with non-news and discussion topics like memes, resulting in spaces more akin to /r/gaming

I don't have a problem with memes, but /r/Games was created specifically because spaces that allow lower effort content and a huge userbase tend to be flooded with it.

Honestly, though my reddit usage is way down there are some conversations on reddit that can't be replicated. I read manga / watch anime from years ago that no one is talking about now. Reddit has a comment history that goes back a decade; really hard to compete with that.

I found a home in Reddit when Digg v4 happened. After many years, I wound up deleting my Reddit account and using it 100% anonymously as a pure consumption content aggregator. I'm here on kbin now and restarting my engagement with the content. It feels fun again! I just wish we had a catchy name like Digg v4 to call this Reddit exodus.

As an aside I didn't consume Reddit at all during the blackouts in solidarity even as an anonymous consumer, but when I returned it was full of trash and Reddit quadrupled down on their shitty position so I deleted the apps and have added all the Reddit owned domains to my pinhole alongside Facebook/Meta, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

If there is archived content I need to access for support or finding advice, I'll be using the fediverse and archive.org from now on.

I haven’t touched it since about 2 days before the blackout. Hoping there’s a decent app for iOS soon for kbin.

I was already on Mastadon after Twitter's meltdown but still used Reddit until all this stuff happened. Deleted my Reddit account and haven't looked back!

Ditched completely, I was a lurker on reddit, I had nothing to add to discussions. The #threadiverse feels like home, it's easy to engage and you get to talk to a lot of nice people.

I'm done. I tried to switch to mastodon but I didn't like the format. Lemmy/kbin are much more like a forum and that works for me.

I've actually found myself browsing reddit without realizing it. It took a couple of days but I'm getting used to Lemmy.

I had 2 accounts, one 14 years old and one 12. Both are now deleted.

Account 100% deleted.
All comments, posts, and votes wiped.

I never had good experiences there, was often too anxious to participate and quickly reminded doing so was a bad idea.

Good riddance.

Honestly, really depends on

A. How well Lemmy/Fediverse will do. B. How bad the user experience on Reddit will be on July 1st

I'm liking Lemmy at the moment, not having the tons of spam bots really feels like a breath of fresh air.

In the end, it's all about the experience for me. I'm ready to ditch Reddit if the alternative is good

Yeah, I'm not going back.

I have. I have a lot of respect for Christian and his Apollo App. It was the only way I browsed Reddit. Also going forward, it will never be the same over there. I'm enjoying kbin so far though!

Effectively I have. My account still exists but is only subbed to Tildes (Trying to snag an invite) and Redditalternatives. Once RIF goes offline, I won't be accessing on mobile at all.

I've edited all my comments from the last year and working on automating that so I can redo it if they keep up with trying to roll them back.

But I don't browse reddit anymore. Still not 100% certain where I'll land and call home but I have three or four platforms I'm spending time with to see what feels right. I don't really care what reddit does now, it's irrelevant to me. Whether they succeed, fail, or alter their API plans, I'm indifferent. The trust is broken.

Not yet. But I do have some letting go issues. Reddit still has historical data. But I'll guess that's also stored in different places now, only to become available in the future. The way it's heading now is down the drain. If this guy stays on, it'll also be hard to repair the damage and have faith/trust again. That being said, I'm really starting to like Lemmy. I hope that all content and communities transfer to this lovely Fediverse. I has it's quirks to work out. But my time on reddit is getting an all time low, whilst my time on Lemmy is starting to grow. It'll be very cool if Lemmy, replaces Reddit.

I wasn't as much active on reddit, only the time I was speaking is in crappy design or a bit somewhere else. I was mostly watching content.
I'll be perhaps checking reddit far far less (if not, completely stop) for anything new.
But yeah might just never use reddit, they're literally threatening subreddits to stop the blackout. I honestly find it funny the way the community loopholes it by posting completely random/irrelevant things (like in r/steam)
Also the concept of Fediverse got me interested. I'll see how it feels when time passes.

I’m not completely off Reddit yet, but 90% of my use of that site for now is either trying to convince people to support the blackout/move to other platforms, or it’s a result turning up in Google. So I have cut back pretty dramatically.

I’m certainly done contributing in any way. I’ve edited my past posts and comments so they all say fuck /u/spez and will now only use Reddit as a read only resource if I can’t find the answer to a question elsewhere.

I have. Not missing it. I wish they wouldn't show up in Google searches tho.

I only ever lurked there using Apollo, but I’m not intending to go back apart from to clear my subscriptions/delete the account.

I miss some of the smaller subs but there’s already enough here to keep me going I think.

The amount of times I’ve automatically picked up my phone during ad breaks and stuff to try and open up Apollo has been a bit of an eye opener.

Come June 1st, I will no longer use Reddit on my phone. As soon as they scrap old.reddit.com, I’ll no longer use Reddit.

I look at small subs that have no replacement to look for good content to post on Lemmy. For example if someone posts a nice fan art with a link to the original artist on Reddit, I take that link to the original post and post it on Lemmy. This is necessary to kick start small communities.

I deleted my account, same I did with Twitter. It just doesn’t feel right to support those companies. Boycotting them is easy and doesn’t cost me anything, so I do it.

I'll look back for specific content, but my creative energy has moved here.

Part of me is tempted to go back for the remaining 12 days before Apollo shuts down, but I feel like that’d be a betrayal after all the bullshit from spez. I’m done with reddit

yeah i think i'm about to ditch all social media. and probably irl too if i'm totally honest

Quite keen to get out from under American "Community Standards", US defaultism and the extreme censorship that became prevalent on Reddit. I think the Fediverse taking off would be a paradigm shift in the way communities can be run, surviving any pushes to moderate to a particular agenda or set of tastes, and reduce the effectiveness of consensus manufacturing.

Worked examples could be that, fast forward 5 years, some Brisbane communities might allow casual use of swearwords like cunt and shit, or even slurs when used demonstratively (to the satisfaction of the community), whereas others wouldn't. And both would be valid choices and users could manage it by subbing and unsubbing as they see fit.

Another cultural standard around casual or non-sexual nudity - e.g. would you need to tag a streaker on a footy pitch as NSFW or require their nipples to be blurred - could be permitted to develop away from the American prudishness, again some communities allowing it and some not.

I'm still checking it daily, but only to fire up PowerDeleteSuite. It seems some old comments of mine sporadically appear either from subreddits going back to public, or because of rate limits with the API.

I am hopeful that spez backs down. Reddit is a household name. If we fragment into the fediverse it will be a tough road to getting the same critical mass and name recognition.

I am giving it the same treatment that the other social media sites get. No contributions, no direct access if I can avoid it, browser redirects to go through a libredit instance if I land on it.

The current mess made me realize that:

1. WTF, reddit has like a billion users now? When did that happen? That's a good reason in itself to leave.
2. I had an unhealthy relationship with the site. Feels liberating to leave behind my biggest online addiction.

In that state of one foot in and one foot out sort of thing right now. I think as kbin and the other instances get more and more users (which I see happening for the most part), I'll probably start using reddit less and less. As a mostly lurker on reddit, I've been trying to participate more in the conversation here.

Moved off the day before they went dark, only go back to re-run Power Delete Suite, since old posts of mine keep coming back.

I'm using both. Hedging my bets I guess. I'll be using Reddit much less next month when bacon reader stops working.

I was surprised how nice it is here, so I don't really feel an urge to go back. Scrolled Reddit for a bit an hour ago, and the content is on par or worse than it is here. With the mlem app as well I have no problems staying on lemmy

I'm so happy to see people here. The fediverse is alive!

New to lemmy. Will see how it goes before ditching reddit. I might start culling the defunct subreddits I have subscribed to over the years. Not cancelling my reddit account just yet. I have started seeing ads on reddit since the blackout. Not sure where they come from. I just downvote them rather than reading in case that helps.

I haven't been back to even delete my accounts yet. I don't wanna give them any traffic

I'm here because I'm ditching Reddit. I've been on it for so long. If I can't use RIF, then I don't want to use Reddit.

It's hard, you know? I've still got sync installed, but after it's API key is removed I'm out. Might see if I can find a way to browse the archived version from my phone for looking up stuff.

@GloomyBagel

I still have my account there. I stopped my subscription and have deleted the third party app i used to access it. I'll delete the acvount tjere at some point, but im sticking with the fediverse.

I've deleted my posts and comments using a userscript to overwrite them prior to deletion. I haven't deleted the account yet however as I don't think private subs let you delete your comments. If you want recommendations for this Power Delete Suite is the easiest to use but may stop working with the API changes from what I've heard. Better Reddit Delete is one of many userscripts to delete your history. You will need a user script manager such as Greasemonkey for Firefox

Long term I plan to move some of my subs to RSS feeds from Teddit. I will likely also have Libreddit as a PWA on my phone with all of my existing communities added.

For the small amount of communities I interact with that I don't see moving to the Fediverse I'll access them through Old Reddit only. I'll likely make multiple accounts to separate interests and delete them / make new ones after a certain amount of time.

Replaced Reddit app with Mlem and memmy app. I alternate between those two and the webpage. Haven’t opened Reddit in days. Reddit will be yahoo answers for me now, at best.

The biggest issue for me right now is troubleshooting and searching. Reddit search is awful, but google + Reddit is almost irreplaceable imo. You don’t have to read through ai generated article that’s just repeating keywords, just find a post that contains the answer.

Ai chat seems to be a pretty good replacement, but it’s still up in the air for now.

Right now I am back and forth. The protests seem to have had an effect on my feed as the content seems less interesting to me. Maybe that's all in my head though. Lemmy is what I've been looking for though. The discussion is decent. Waiting for a good mobile app and I'd likely never go back to Reddit. Just sort of flipping back and forth right now, as I said.

Like others have said, I'm off it too, although I have occasionally checked in with the niche subreddits I used to follow to see where they're moving to, if at all.

I’m not going to use their terrible web site, nor the abomination that AlienBlue got mangled into as the official app, so…

I’ve not used it this past week, and will wait until the official cutoff date to see if my aging 3rd party app of choice stops working. If it does, that’s it, I guess… they made the decision for me.

On top pf being the spcial media I interacted the most, Reddit also used to be my default idle scrolling app, whenever I had time to kill and a phone with Internet on my hand or when I felt like multitasking watching TV. I stopped using it for the blackout and I never really went back.

I snooped a bit through r/modcoord and r/save3rpartyapps to see how thing were going when someone mentioned them a couple of days ago and from there I went on the linked subs to see their alternative protests and vote on the subs I subscribe to, but that's it.

I still miss some subs, but I haven't felt the need to visit them yet, so even if I cave in, I'm no longer a daily user, just a once-twice a month one with a ton of ad blocks.

I occasionally open a Reddit link from search results because I am not paying enough attention, but even if I need something that I think can only be found on Reddit I am not touching it and I immediately close it if I accidentally open it. If any friends send me a Reddit link to a meme image, I don't open it. Instead I share links to memes on Lemmy. 😂

I haven't gone and overwrote all of my content (because I figure they are looking for it right now and I might end up fighting an automated restoration system right now), but if I ever open it intentionally again, that's what it will be for.

I'm fully done with it, no peeks. It's actually significantly easier to write off Reddit than most sites for me. Had this happened a little while later it might have changed though.

A subreddit for something I work on had gotten automatically shut down for lack of moderation (it was dead so 🤷) and I was in the middle of contemplating contacting Reddit to unban the subreddit and take control of it, but with Reddit's decisions I don't want to use the site anymore, even if they reverse course.

I am instead contemplating opening a dedicated Lemmy instance specifically for the thing I work on, and if I do end up following through on that the only reason I would go on Reddit again is to make sure that subreddit stays closed, permanently. Me and the other person in charge have zero interest in using Reddit at all (we are both third-party app users), and we work to make sure that nobody masquerades as "official" (it only causes us headaches) and fracturing our informational/reference material further than it already is.

Yep pretty much done. Definitely stoping my endless scroll over there.( Probably for the best anyway) May pop over to the occasional boutique community until they exist in force over here (suggestmeabook etc)

Reddit has been too big for the last five years or so. What’s the point of commenting on a post with 10k+ comments.

Lemmy is still too far on the other end but hopefully takes off in the next year. Hopefully spez continues his Musk performance and Lemmy gets the growth curve Mastodon has had.

I have deleted all my comments, deleted my account after 15 years. Yeah, I am done.

Count me in.
However I find that, as users, we waste too much energy thinking of Reddit. I have ditched it and I have moved on. I don't have any need to see how many more people did it, or how many still use Reddit.
It doesn't do any favor to ourselves, and to some extent it is like our happiness in the fediverse still relies on whatever Reddit (or its users) do.

Deleted my accounts after 14 years. Contributed, modded, had a decent amount of karma, fuck it.

Unfortunately I can't just ditch it because my target audience and traffic source is mostly on reddit(80%+ of my website traffic). But I don't use it for doom scrolling anymore

I'm slowly letting my RiF die. Still have it downloaded, but it's gunna but hard come 6/30.

Still using it for /r/ukrainianconflict, otherwise done

I uninstalled Sync for Reddit on the 11th, I'd rather the day I uninstall Sync be the day I stop using Reddit entirely as my contribution to the protest. Rather than the last day I use it be because Reddit pried it from my hands. Fuck /u/spez.

I've edited, deleted comments, deleted account. 7 years gone. A few times since I've jumped on reddit not logged in as anyone, and wow, what a horrible place it is when you don't see only what you're subscribed to!!

Mostly. Still go to /r/AMD for news about products, but basically nowhere else.

Enjoying Kbin for my daily browsing since Monday.

I'll still be using it going forward as a resource, but perhaps not as a community, if it ever really was one. It still exists as the foremost way to cull out blogspam (and now AIspam) from Google search results. So if I'm looking for discussions on a new carbon steel pan, Google will probably direct me to a Reddit thread and that's fine. Hopefully in a year we'll all be appending (lemmy|kbin|tildes) to search queries instead.

As far as a community, oof it's not looking good. Steve Huffman this week just kept finding new ways to keep digging, to keep insulting the community, and to keep straight-up lying. The fact that he apparently idolizes Musk and considers him more of a role model than a cautionary tale leads me to suspect that he's going to continue to antagonize the community and I'll probably end up editing/deleting my comments by the end of the month.

Nearly all the subreddits I would actively follow, have gone dark so there's really nothing there for me besides scrolling the main page for 2 minutes

I've logged out of reddit, deleted the app and I've checked it a couple of times to see the state of the protest but I think I'm just going to drop it now. I've not deleted my accounts but I barely used them so I'm not sure if it would add much!

It'll be interesting to see what the long term effects of the migration event are, I'm guessing quite small as reddit still seems active. But then again, maybe the bulk of actual engaged users have now left?

I've gone back a few times to scroll through the news subs, but I think I'm done with it, having found the news streams on Kbin.social.

Eh, not enough content here yet to scratch the itch so I'm still lurking Reddit despite blackouts. That said, I'm not going to use the official app or browser, so once RIF stops working I'm done for real. My guess is that most of the remaining lurkers share that sentiment, and there will be a gradual preliminary migration for three next two weeks, followed by a huge wave after July 1st. Then there'll be content.

I've only gone back to vote for pics of John Oliver and spread the good word about the verse.

I've kind of gone on a soft break - I go on there and scroll a little, but don't participate/post and limit my time greatly.

I’ve left! I’ve found a good balance by having an account for both Kbin and Mastodon. It might be redundant once Kbin federates better with Mastodon content and has a good app, but for now it’s nice to have.

Tbh I had slowly already stopped using it. I only use it to Google answers to things.

Done with it and deleted acct last week

I will use it until the 30th. That day will mark the end of my Reddit journey.

I just deleted all of my comments before this month. I was looking at my old comments before deleting them, and I realized that Reddit was better 5 to 10 years ago. I saw better engagement from me with communities, and with individuals, than I even remember being possible on Reddit. I'm not going back to Reddit, but I'm starting to wonder if social media is healthy for me at all.

There are plenty of smaller communities there that truly don't care about what's going on in management, and will probably stay alive for a long time still.

It's those communities that keep me in Reddit.

Otherwise, I'm no longer idling and killing time through r/all or my frontpage.

I'd like to move fully but the historical content on Reddit is necessary for me. I also tend to end a Google search query with Reddit these days as it returns better results than some shit article on a advertisement bait and switch website.

I'm also not keen on how whatever this platform is functions, it feels like moving from Windows to Linux, some nerds made something that could be great but it is just not easy to pick up and use.

Usability is what made Reddit great and especially the 3rd party apps.

Im still on it for my hobby subs and general news

I still have my account but I'm keeping it just to get the list of subreddits I'm subscribed to and find respective communities on Lemmy, on July 1st it's game over for me on there

I haven't used my account since the blackout. I have gone to the site occasionally if I Google something and the answer shows reddit though. My wife hasn't used reddit and is waiting for me to "cave" but I haven't been tempted. The first day was the hardest but now I just use Lemmy. Looking forward to some more polish on the jerboa app but can't complain about anything else really.

Done and done. Even deleted Apollo. Not even missing it.

I deleted my various reddit accounts years ago, checked out Lemmy briefly and then kind of forgot it existed until recently. Of course I wouldn't say I have ditched Reddit completely since I deleted my accounts, as I have often used it for personal research purposes and will likely continue to do so. Though I suppose I could migrate to searching a Reddit data archive or something.

For me the move wasn't hard to be honest, reddit for me is just hell scrolling (or whatever the term is) to get some news some memes and just keep up with games, and the occasional porn.

I thought about moving to lemmy before the blackout for the sake of easier piracy seeing how they made the move as a backup.

The only thing I miss is the centralized communities, for example in lemmy you have the technology community in several instances splitting the community (unless I'm just confusing on how it works) and the fact that you can't make a custom feed

Otherwise, don't miss reddit.

I went ahead and scrubbed my post history over there. When Apollo closes out, I’ll be out. Hoping this setup continues to grow. It’s a shame, but no interest in supporting the current stupidity.

I don't plan to ditch Reddit. But I'm extremely pessimistic about Reddit's future due to the horrible decisions the CEO has made.

I don't think Reddit will die immediately from this. There will be months, maybe years, of activity. But the crippling blow has been dealt. The community (even if it returns to Reddit) has lost trust and faith in the leadership and administrators. And I don't think that trust will be won back, ever.

I do feel for Huffman's predicament. His job is to turn this company profitable, when it has never been profitable before. I don't know if I would have performed "as well" as he has, and I likely would have been a worse leader in many respects.

I've removed my Reddit account already. If I'm going to have any reason to use it to any extent (maybe one or two niche subs), I'm going to do it through some libreddit instance.

I'm 100% done with Reddit. I do miss the user & comment diversity, and there are several subreddits that I have yet to find anything nearing a replacement for elsewhere. I'm an absolute noober to kbin but so far I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing. It feels fresh and new, which is very welcome after over a decade of Reddit use.

Exited completely. Logged on once to edit a bunch of comments, may do that again and see if they've been reverted.

Not missing it half as much as I thought I would.

I'm on there only once a day very briefly to upvote protesters, and for work. And when I accidentally click a search result, which is a tough habit to kick.

I pretty much deleted the shitty app i specifically only use reddit for finding good info.

Ill delete my account soon though i wont go through the trouble of deleting my comments

Ditched reddit. Won't delete my account, so I can continue voting pro-John Oliver, but I overwrote all of my comments and posts with a message saying I was leaving. It appears some of those comments mysteriously un-edited themselves!, so I'm running my script again. As far as actually using Reddit? Fuck them.

I'm in read-only mode from Apollo, and getting more and more used to the federated content. Come July 1st, it'll be over.

Personally I don‘t use it for browsing anymore
Sometimes I take a peak to check out the funny ways subs stick it to spez though

I ditched it a while ago.

I still go there to check on a couple of subreddits, bit I'm detoxing. I'm hoping to leave it completely by the end of the month, when the API changes take effect.

I've uninstalled the app - only had it to participate in r/place anyway, been taking up space since then. I'm still checking it once or twice a day on BaconReader, but seeing a lot of changes to my feed and general user participation. I'm not participating other than scrolling, and that's extremely limited.

The day Apollo announced it would be shutting down for sure (I believe it was June 8th), that was the day I deleted my 11 year old account as well as any content I had contributed to Reddit.

Unfortunately, I did not have the foresight to anticipate Reddit rolling back deleted comments, so I have no idea if my comment history has since been restored without my permission.

Deleted my 11 yo accounts after the disastrous AMA and only took a peek during blackouts to see what it would look like. No Apollo = no Reddit. Actually, I'm not even sure I would go back if Reddit magically reversed everything, because now we have learned so much about what a shitty, disrespectful place it is towards its users. Restoring users' deleted posts and comments is way WAY over the line. The Reddit Files also sound like they will be interesting...

Overwrote my comments then deleted them all. Keeping the account on the off chance something changes or I need to ask a question and need enough karma etc,, but don't plan on going back unless I absolutely have to. I will miss it a bit, but I'll have a heap more free time now.

Removed my account and edited all posts the day the blackout started.

Deleted my nearly decade-old account and all content with it.

I'm here now, trying to wean myself off relay. So far I've found the thunder app for Android to be the nicest.

Does anyone use any developmental kbin apps yet or is that not a thing?

If I can get regular interactions here around certain topics like Brisbane, Aussie Politics, and ice hockey then not going back will just be a fairly natural profession for me. Yes, I don't like how they made the API changes but more than that, I'm not going to install their app. Once my 3rd party app of choice stopped working (I use Joey and it's still free and working for now) I'll just fall off.

I'm in the process of understanding this Fediverse. Trialing Lemmy also but the login is unbearable. Can't even get into my account. I've already created one.

I may have a cursory browse of my VERY limited feed and one glance at /all just to have a peek (i'm heavily filtered on Apollo) but I know the days are ticking down til July 1st, that's when i'll fully be like...fuck this. After years of being spoiled by Apollo...no way am I using that reddit app again.

I've gone back to SomethingAwful a bit [long in the tooth], and i've been enjoying Tildes instead. I'm still on the fence regarding these federated places but kbin is definitely the least-shittest to experience as a user. I really wish I could hide posted threads though, all of these new things make it impossible, I hate seeing stuff i've seen once.

Apollo had the best feature of consuming reddit - marking read once scrolled past. DREAMY! Previously I had reddit set to manually upvote each post to hide which was also ok, but tiring. Not having anything like this on kbin is unfortunate. Hopefully it'll be here soon.

I ditched my account(6years) and deleted every comment, I've asked for my data that was ever collected by them to be sent and after I will ask for account deletion with email confirmation as is written in GDPR. I did this to Twitter before Musk took over, Facebook, Instagram and all of them complied and I was scared/impressed of how many info they keeped.

I've ditched all social media beside reddit in 2017 and reddit now.

I have, although I'm only a lurker. I understand the concerns of the moderators and regular posters and decided to support them by not giving my attention and time to the website. I've subscribed to some of the communities here and enjoying it thus far. I'll try not to peak and get most of solutions else where but it's going to be an uphill task for me, who tries to find every answer in Reddit.

I deleted all my posts on Reddit last weekend, then my account — if I can’t use Apollo, then they’re not going to get the benefit from my post history (7 years). Looking for something else. Happy with Lemmy so far, open to suggestions of others. Left Facebook and Twitter ten years ago, tried Facebook again for a few weeks, a few months ago; it’s much worse than I remembered. Deleted my account there too.

I was a Reddit user for 9 years. I ditched it on TikTok to prove to people that they don't control you.

All posts deleted. Keeping the account but not really posting anymore.

Deleted my account a few days ago. Even if reddit reestablishes itself and force reopens private subs or opens new subreddits to replace them I can’t see myself going back. They destroyed the sense of community that they managed to hold on to for so long and with those decision makers in charge it feels like it will continue to slowly get worse. I’ve found the fediverse to have more interesting discussions and less awful people to put up with, it reminds me of how reddit felt to use 10+ years ago

Used reddit for 8 years up until the API stuff that killed the app I liked to use on mobile. Deleted my account the other day and looked for decent alternatives, which is how I ended up on kbin. Reddit stuff still comes up in searches and I'll open the page to get an answer I need, but I don't browse it daily like I used to.

I deleted my accounts on June 10 and never looked back.

I still go from time to time because too many Linux communities are still (for some reason I can't understand) much more active on Reddit

I still use it but I'm no longer as active as I was.

I wish all my subreddits could have federated alternatives, but I'm not really tech savvy enough to make them on my own nor do I want the responsibility of being the admin, if I did have the know-how.

I still go there for a few specific communities that haven't moved over here yet. But when I have some time to kill I now use lemmy or some other indie sites to fill that void.

I’m trying to be done with it. I spent way too much time there anyway just scrolling through anything. Haven’t been back since the blackout. Saved myself loads of time in the process. It’s good to see so many other folk here now too.

I have to open the app every day to delete 5-6 posts, but that's about it. I figure with time my account will be empty.

I'm burning through my comment history with Redact right now and left all my subs. I plan on keeping an account exclusively for my local sub, but I haven't decided if I'm going to keep using mine or spinning up a new one. I already burned my 15 year old account to spite a catty super mod who banned me from 10 or so subs at once I certainly don't care about this one lmao

I still go on there a little bit, but for these past few days I've mostly just been here on kbin.

I haven't touched Reddit since discovering kbin and Lemmy. I'm sure I'll end up using it inow and again when searching for stuff, but otherwise good riddance.

Reddit has done its damage for me. Since a day before the blackout I think I’ve only been back there twice, and only for search results and without logging in. it’s totally been fine for me, and I don’t really see myself going back to Reddit for the things I used to go there for.

I’m still on the fence about removing my account altogether, however, because there are 1 or 2 tiny communities on there who aren’t really organized enough survive a migration. I anticipate needing to pop into one on a rare occasion to ask a very specific question.

Ditched it and haven’t looked back

I was 100% Apollo so any other inference is shit
Just can’t and won’t

Don’t miss it as much as I thought I would

Also fuck /u/spez

Same, not coming back to reddit anytime soon. And actually, I like it here!

I'm done with the website, I'm not even gonna miss it.

I've reduced my usage massively. Beforehand where I would post threads, write comments and upvote / downvote. Now I'm just lurking and consuming, without creating anything of value. I think that's pretty fair given how Spez treated everyone, treating them like they're leeches, when they're the ones trying to pitch an IPO off of people's content

Haven't been back since the blackout started, and I'll only go back before June 30 to verify that Power Delete Suite has done its job properly.

I can't go back. Digg was abandoned for less.

Ditched for day to day browsing, but still use it for tiny communities that have yet to move to a different platform

I had 3 reddit accounts and deleted all of them a week ago. I've put up with a lot of shit from reddit for years and the API issue was the last straw.

Btw, this is my first post here. I'm hopelessly lost. Hopefully I can connect with some "magazines" or something!
