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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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

Yeah, I'm not going back.

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.

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

Done with it forever! Glad to be here

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.

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

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'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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

@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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
