When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy.
Now that it’s starting to die down a little bit, does anyone regret doing that? Or are you glad that you took that step?
I am sure there’s a significant survivorship bias to the responses you will be getting on this platform, but I really am glad to be off of Reddit.
It has allowed me to find other discussion platforms online (Lemmy) that feel more genuine somehow, at least for now (I don’t question if I’m talking to a human or a bot/shill).
I’ve also spent more time just learning and doing stuff that I am sure would have been simply wasted in the endless scrolling in Apollo.
I regret that reddit got the point where I felt like it was my only option. That hasn’t changed since deleting my account
The reddit I miss is not the reddit I left, nor the reddit that exists today.
Even if I wouldn’t have deleted, the experience I wanted from Reddit has been long gone so all they did was provide a reason for me to trash reddit entirely. A shame? Sure! But no regrets.
Nope! Actually I’m kind of glad I did so. Lemmy is wayyyy nicer than that cesspool.
Nope I don’t miss Reddit at all. Reddit is gonna burn and we are all here for it
No regrets, I haven’t fully broken the habit of reading a couple subs tho
No regerts were had.
Not even a little bit
It was tough at first, but I haven’t logged in or looked since deleting all of my comments. The only time I go there now is when I absentmindedly click a Google result.
No, it was time to move on

Lol nope.
Absolutely not, and it was a 13 year old account too. My only regret is not doing it sooner tbh.
