I just ran Power Delete Suite on all of my comments and self posts, stating they have been removed in protest.

On July 1st, I am deleting every comment and post, then closing my account. Reddit was fun while it lasted.

The fediverse is still raw, but I see massive protentional here, and I am ready for this journey with all of you.

    I had two accounts, one 8 years old and one 4 years old, with a combined karma of about 120k. Deleted them both earlier. Nothing of value was lost; the only “conversation” you can find on Reddit is salty arguments anyway.

    This is oddly exciting, like being a child again. I hope it grows into something great. Hello from kbin!

    Don’t forget to ask all your data under gdpr before wiping the account. I asked my data and after 2 weeks still it’s not done so i have the feeling it’s computationally expensive for them. So, the more users ask for data, the better

    I have over 13k. My bot is keeping my comment list at 15 max and I’m not posting content. Been trying out kbin instead.
    I’m hanging around until the end of June, but once Apollo is dark, I’m gone.

    I wouldn’t delete your account (in case Reddit tries to replace the deleted comments as they have been doing). But I would unsubscribe from every subreddit.

    Additionally, if you have any very useful comments/posts, repost them to Lemmy and then edit them to leave some information that will redirect users to your posts in Lemmy. That way good information isn’t lost and you’ll help to slowly drive users towards Lemmy over time.

    Good stuff. I deleted my account from 2011 the other day. This shit is stupid. Honestly already like kbin better anyway from a purely aesthetic perspective.

    Reddit was fun while it lasted.

    This is basically my attitude as well.

      As a newbie data hoarder the Reddit exodus has felt like my first real trail for making a personal archive of content I wanna go back to. Ran a scraper on a few of my top subs right before the blackout on top of cherry picking posts I regularlly returned to for information.

      Overall think I’m pretty set for never returning to that place.
