due to the rolling blackout… I think it’s had its effect.
I think I am done with reddit.
it’s a shame because as someone who doesn’t use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don’t get online.
I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit.
anyway, I’m just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?
I went ahead and scrubbed my post history over there. When Apollo closes out, I’ll be out. Hoping this setup continues to grow. It’s a shame, but no interest in supporting the current stupidity.
Hey I see ya! I’ve done the exact same, Reddit was my way of feeling connected to my communities cause fuck fb, fully ditched reddit now and trynna make lemmy work, soo far soo good, more and more subreddits are migrating to become new Sublemmys, I have hope! Also I don’t know for you but my trick to have a more constant feed here is to scroll on All - New, not only there’s more fresh stuff but I also get to catch newly migrated subs that way!
I was a Reddit user for 9 years. I ditched it on TikTok to prove to people that they don’t control you.
I’ve replaced the Boost icon on my phone with Jerboa. Have been deliberately not going to the site on my PC. If I have to, I’ve been doing it incognito.
Will not be renewing my reddit premium, and will not be using official shit-show of an app. I’m not going so far as to delete my account, but totally understand why people are doing so.
Side note… awesome to see so many comments from users that aren’t on aussie.zone 😀
If I can get regular interactions here around certain topics like Brisbane, Aussie Politics, and ice hockey then not going back will just be a fairly natural profession for me. Yes, I don’t like how they made the API changes but more than that, I’m not going to install their app. Once my 3rd party app of choice stopped working (I use Joey and it’s still free and working for now) I’ll just fall off.
Replaced Reddit app with Mlem and memmy app. I alternate between those two and the webpage. Haven’t opened Reddit in days. Reddit will be yahoo answers for me now, at best.
My account was 13 years old… back from the great Digg migration.
Over the past decade I’ve been very active on a range of subs, with a more recent focus on professional technology, politics and gaming.
Over the years I’d amassed in excess of 300k comment karma, and not an insignificant bit of post karma (mostly from back in the SCO tech war).
I’m walking away at this point… even if spez was kicked out the door by the Board the bad faith shown is just the straw that broke the dromedary’s back.
Since I am within the scope of GDPR and I want this to be painful on them (plus there are useful bits i refer to from my old history from time to time)… I’ve issued the GDPR data request and intend to follow through with a “right to be forgotten” GDPR data deletion request once that’s been fulfilled.
YOU WANT TO SELL ACCOUNT?
Deleted my accounts after 14 years. Contributed, modded, had a decent amount of karma, fuck it.

I have been trialing Lemmy and kbin today. The real downside to Lemmy for me is the login! I can’t even login sometimes. I thought it was only the account creation that was the problem.
Find an instance closer to you. As well one that has decent hardware.
