I don’t know man, but I feel like I’m supporting a maniac CEO with every second I spend on reddit.

    I’m currently using Reddit Enhancement Suite to delete 8 years worth of comments and submissions. It’s been a walk down memory lane as they all disappear, but it’s a good way to experience catharsis on the way out the door as all of my stuff that would have been monetized through google search results go poof… First time I’ve been back since creating my lemmy acct though, and it was more sad than dirty.

    Honestly, yes. I don’t want to support what the owners of Reddit are doing. A lot of people are not going to leave there though until the place is completely radioactive though.

    I already deleted and nuked all my posts and comments. But I still need to visit it whenever i’m looking up something specific. All I can do is have adblocking in place to not give reddit a single cent for ad placement.

    Haven’t visited it since June 11th and only plan on going back on June 30th to delete all my comments/posts/accounts. I already cut the cord and I’m moving on to multiple other sites. Do I miss reddit? Yes, but in my mind, the reddit I knew is already gone and it’s not coming back. Even if they backed down on their stupid API policy at this point, they’ve done enough BS that there’s not really any turning back on any of this.

    yes, I try really hard not to give them my eyeballs these days. I wish we crossposted with links less and just copied or screenshotted the info we are trying to share from there.

    Yeah I am deleting my 9 year old account on the 30th.

    Despite reddit’s flaws it’s a great resource for a lot of entertainment,education and the communities can be great. But reddit got too big, too greedy and it’s just a matter of time before it hopefully collapses. Those of us moving into fed-space are the early birds.

    Yeah, I check out the existentialist french cinema shitpost images of women smoking on redscarepod and some buttcoin for the luls, via teddit. Found a decent bud of buttcoin on fediverse and I fully expect to be ready to unceremoniously stop anonymously lurking come July 1st and let reddit digg itself into a shithole.
