    I’m moving here permanently and never looking back, but I’m leaving my posts because that’s 11 years worth of comments that someone may find useful in the future. I hate the idea of losing all the good comments and discussions that have taken place over the years but I understand why people wish to delete their stuff regardless.

      Also decided to move permanently. Running Power Delete Suite now to mass edit all my comments/posts there so they can’t monetize my effort.

    I didn’t make a lot of posts or comments on Reddit, but I did spend a lot of time on that site. If I still use the site once the dust settles, it will only be for a few niche subreddits that I was a part of.

    Reddit is damaged goods as far as I’m concerned and It’s clear that the people in charge don’t give a shit about the community. I will miss certain content and interactions, but I’ve walked away from other communities in the past and have adjusted quickly.

    I like the idea of Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon and the fediverse. It’s clear that they aren’t ready for the current influx of users and there has already been some drama between different instances, but I’m willing to work through the growing pains. The whole vibe around Lemmy is generally positive, and that is what’s keeping me around for now.

    I’m going to stick around here. I’m not letting the official reddit app anywhere near my phone.

    I deleted my old accts, and this reminded me to finally delete FB messenger too, which somehow continued to live on like a root I didn’t eradicate from an awful plant I chopped down. Frankly, I didn’t really use Reddit much beyond lurking for answers to Q’s I asked on Google and encouraging others on sobriety pages, so they won’t miss me. But at least here I can lurk without feeding a man’s ego so much.

      Tildes looks nice, but the invite-only aspect of it is frustrating.

      How do you get invited? And what is entailed in inviting someone? Do you have to vouch for their good behavior or something? What’s the point of it?

    I had created an account almost 3 years ago. This reddit API apocalypse reminded me of lemmy. Considering, the subpar experience. It would be stupid to not be on lemmy. I still have my reddit account and posts but, after the blackout and the subpar experience my activity has been super reduced.

    No app on my phone. Might google something specific or go there for very specific reasons for time to time. Not browsing Reddit anymore.

    I deleted my reddit account. If I need to find something specific it’s okay to wonder there from time to time. My main interests at reddit were technology based so I’m sure these topics move partly to here. I also created Solidworks community here that was my main interest. Lets see if it starts growing.

    I deleted all my comments along with my account. I’m not contributing to any platform that is corporate owned walled garden. Lemmy is much more in line with my ethos and I’ll happily contribute to it.

    I plan on making Lemmy my main go to and MAYBE occasionally jump on Reddit for some of the niche subs I’m part of. When I do go on reddit I’ll be blanket blocking ads.

    tbh, it still sucks here lol, but i’m open to the plan on staying here as well as reddit if Lemmy can at least improve to be comparable to Reddit.

    I don’t see myself leaving Lemmy anytime soon. It’s like being in an exclusive club. You don’t want go to back to the that filthy club where the bouncers are pricks.

    I like to think I won’t go back to reddit but force of habit is hard to break even with an excellent alternative!

      Yeah I’m in the same boat. I keep finding myself opening reddit just out of habit. I don’t think I’m going to delete my account but I am trying to do a better job of checking out the alternatives (and actually posting instead of just lurking…)

    I’m definitely planning on using Lemmy exclusively for a while, at the least. Not planning on deleting anything (yet), though I am going to request a copy of my data.

    I’m not ok with anything Reddit’s done lately, but not interested in taking drastic action quite yet.

    This is my very first comment.

    I’m eyeing right now, but it already reminds of Old Reddit, so I may stay. I was there to see Digg die, and now Reddit fall.

    I just hope for a good active community.
