Have you left reddit forever? Have you deleted your account and posts? Just curious
I’m still on the fence. I’d very much like to jump ship API changes or not, Reddit is only going to become more and more corporate over time and I think that goes directly against what a platform like that should be
I’m trying it out and if it takes off like I’m hoping I’ll stick around. Like the idea of a more decentralised internet, matrix too but much harder to get people to move from discord without some big catalyst like this
I deleted my 14+ year account (after deleting my content) right after the AMA: never going back. Have used RIF for as long as it has been around and it’s going dark June 30. Bridge burned. No regrets.
I will definitely be staying. Even if it fails, I will then just stop using any social media but Mastadon. I am never going back.
Would be great to leave permanently, but Reddit still has the critical mass for niche community subreddits. Hopefully that will change as people jump ship.
No app on my phone. Might google something specific or go there for very specific reasons for time to time. Not browsing Reddit anymore.
Pretty much between here and Tildes. I’m new here, I’ve been off and on Tildes since 2018. Both are chill.
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 was given an invite code back in 2018 when the creator was giving them out, or something. It was super small.
I think that have a few invite codes. I’m assuming everyone got 10, and you can use those. They only disappear when the person I gave them to uses it.
I’m leaving my account intact for two reasons. First to keep a log of past comments. Second to make comments encouraging mod teams to move to lemmy.
I will definitely be sticking around. I do wish lemmy.ml hadn’t taken quite such a huge bite of the FOSS sandwich. Most my interests lay in answering and asking questions about the software projects I use daily. And the lemmy.ml server is crushed. Wish there was a Libera(IRC server where many FOSS projects live) lemmy. That would have made sense to me.
EDIT. Corrected Limmy to Lemmy. I keep doing that…
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’ll be staying, delted most posts & changed all comments to a link to join lemmy. Most likely delete the whole thing soon.
Do you use a script for that or do you do it manually ?
manually, thankfully account is only 3 years old & i was mainly a lurker
I’m going to stick around here. I’m not letting the official reddit app anywhere near my phone.
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 want to stay gone. I’m banned and can’t go back on the reddit app so Apollo was the only way I could post. That being said, I want something to replace it and I’m not sure what that’s gonna be right now. I mean it wouldn’t be the worst thing for me back on there and not allowed to say anything but sometimes I do like to ask question. Hopefully something positive happens but I’m not holding out much hope
I toyed with the idea of triggering a ban on my account, on purpose. I just need to log into the account that was banned years ago, edit something, and BANG! automatic detection bans my current account. Then you’d get a bunch of people claiming that I was banned because my account criticises Reddit, that would further fuel the fire.
The only reason that I don’t do this is moral. I don’t mind small immoral acts but this steps over the line for me, as I’d be effectively lying to other users.
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…)
Yup yup, breaking habit is the hard part but ultimately for the better
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.
