Im working up the courage to. Ill never go back, but it is also hard to delete that much history just for a statement
deleted by creator
I’ve deleted my comments and posts and find Reddit then restored them a few hours later.
So I’ve written some Python to delete them automatically and have it run on a schedule. Fuck 'em. A week later and Reddit are still restoring my data for the script to delete.
I’m selling mine, apparently it’s 50.000? Right?
The only reason I stuck with Reddit was because of Apollo. I’ve just requested my data, hopefully I can get to grips with Lemmy!
I requested my data the other day too. I haven’t heard anything yet, which makes me wonder if they will actually do it, because I’m sure they got a ton of requests at this point. I’m hoping to get that before I pull the plug completely.
What’s the benefit in requesting your data? I tend to periodically nuke my Reddit accounts and cycle through usernames and I’ve never thought to save anything.

Sends a message to them
-
Costs them money

They kind of have to don’t they? This is a GDPR thing, right?
It’s more like, how long is my patience, because I expect they have an unusually high number of data requests to sift through. I’m in the US, so I can’t really claim GDPR anyway, right? Not that I know much about it in the first place.
How would they know that except by putting in the manual work to find out? It’s easier to just come up with a process to do it for anyone who asks.
The request form asks the reason. I didn’t feel right selecting gdpr when it doesn’t apply to me. I might regret that later, but 🤷
I deleted all my comments and posts on my main (12 yr) and alt (4 yr) accounts, and also fully deleted my alt. I’m also finding it hard to fully deleted my main as of now, so I’m keeping it to keep an eye on the collapse of everything. Once baconreader stops working I’ll delete my account for good, and I’ve already hidden the app on my phone so I can’t easily open it anymore (and put Lemmy in it’s place).
I just kicked off Redact, deleting all 2038 messages I’ve posted on Reddit over 9 years. It’s bittersweet, but I’m done, and while i can’t control their database management, I won’t have some corpo fuckwit monetizing my content if i can help it.
I deleted my Reddit account today right after that insane AMA
I’ll use it on desktop since there’s likely valuable information and discussions on it (ie. communities that aren’t on Lemmy yet)
I’ve always been more of a lurker on Reddit but I’m making it a goal to contribute more on Lemmy 🫡
I’ll be deleting my 10+ year account once Apollo dies. May lurk in a few communities for a bit until there’s something similar here.
I’ve begun the process, requested my data from them and then afterwards i’ll be nuking my account
Not yet. I want to, though. I want to try saving down everything I’ve saved over the past 10 years. Once I do that, then I’ll feel comfortable deleting it.
Maybe I’m being naive, but I still have some hope that the blackout will cause Reddit to reverse their decision, or at least be open to re-negotiating with the 3PA devs. I’m exploring alternatives either way.
yeah… I think that’s naive. spez has some investor cock sucking to work on. it’s too late.
Not to mention that the Apollo dev won’t be working with them again after the BS they tried to pull.
I deleted the app but not my account. I thought about going back someday, but honestly I don’t think I will. The last few days without reddits pessimistic view (at least how I see it) have actually been great.
Haven’t gone scorched earth yet. Don’t think I will, but I’ll think twice before going back on the site. There’s some things that are valuable, and I’ll wait and see if they even stay valuable.
Are you guys seeing the trainwreck in this AMA?
Its astonishing
