Well, looks like Feddit (I hope there’s a German one called Deddit) is now my home. I’ve been here a while and am enjoying the more intimate atmos.
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve downloaded all my reddit posts and comments, deleted all my reddit posts and comments and now, today, deleted my account.
Goodbye /u/TheWrongFusebox, you were a blast.
i’ve found that there is plenty of content among all the threadiverse instances to satisfy my browsing habits. it might not all be on topics i care about, but i discover more things i didn’t know existed here, than on reddit. i have no reason to go back
Here’s hoping Lemmy lives up to expectations!
Just waiting for Sync for Lemmy to come out.
I went on Reddit long enough today to finish purging my content and replacing with spam - I haven’t deleted my accounts yet bc laziness. It was fun reading years old threads for a bit but I got bored and I probably won’t go back now. Haven’t missed it all month
I’ve missed reddit. it was such a large part of my life for so long. Joined in 2006, deleted in 2023. It was a great run, but enshittification always takes hold.
There is a German one called feddit.de! I think it’s existed for a long time, well before all of this Reddit malarky.
I changed all my reddit comments today to state that I’m leaving and how I feel about the “leadership” of reddit. I used no profanities and I’m rather proud of that. It took considerable self control. Lemmy, and more specifically feddit.uk, is my new virtual home. To quote one of my favourite bands, “where I lay my head is home”
Now I feel dumb because I deleted my comments instead of editing for something like this.
I used a magic script thing (which, ironically, relies on the API) to edit every comment to “Goodbye!” first before deleting them.
Did the same, edited to something about the API changes then deleted, but could have left the comments up :(
Oh well
I don’t suppose you have a copy of that script still lying around? 🙂
I used https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
But I’d guess it probably doesn’t work anymore if it relied on the Reddit API to work.
Well, I successfully replaced a load of posts manually this morning via Infinity, so perhaps “1st July” hadn’t happened in the US yet?
