I ran power delete suite on my 9 yo account. It was efficient, untill I realized reddit restored my top posts / comments. So I ran pds again and for now my account is clean. I made a request to erase ALL my data and account under gdpr law and I’ll let them delete my account for me. If they don’t comply within 30 days, I’ll fill a complaint to the CNIL and / or any relevant authority. This shit is not to be taken lightly, authorities won’t take it lightly eother if we all do the same.
Edit: just checked back and they restored some of my posts. Third time so far. I won’t be deleting my account before I’m sure all of my content is out of their platform.
I haven’t due to apathy. I’ll get around to it eventually. Haven’t been on Reddit since the blackout and have no desire to go back.
What’s the point? They’ll just undelete my posts anyway.
The important metric is active users. I won’t be an active user anymore.
I’ve kept my account as I have no replacement for the subreddits I find useful & interesting. They are still active and I see no clear migration plan or alternative in place for any of them currently.
Still debating if I can be fucked with trying Discord, Telegram & similar again.
I’ve got the archives of a few subs I find valuable in the hope they could be used as resources and sacred texts by the founding fathers of new communities but I’m not sure where those communities will appear.
Curious to see how things pan out over the coming months.
Yep. Deleted last night.
Some good communities are still there, and it’s bearable to use from desktop using old.reddit.com. Also deleting account would mean deleting saved post history, which I’d rather not lose yet, there are some good resources there
I haven’t deleted it because I have a small niche community (support for a local ISP) that I don’t want to abandon, I answer most questions over there and have about two other people that regularly interject!
I have deleted all of my posts, though, including one which was a guide on how to update a piece of hardware that I wrote after a bunch of trial and error. I felt horrible deleting that as I had messages from people thanking me for it. But fuck reddit.
Waiting for the GDPR request to be responded to.
I did, the second took a look at lemmy I was convinced and raced to reddit to delete my account, To support the protest.
I deleted a couple of weeks ago. I was already sick of reddit and their weak stance on bigots and hate speech, and this was enough to push me over the line and delete the account
I deleted mine 2 years ago when I first used Jerboa.
I haven’t because I am waiting for my GDPR data request to be fulfilled (been waiting over 2 weeks already). I have deleted all comments and posts already, but once I get it I will finally delete the account too.
i want to wait until the apps for lemmy are more stabilized and not in the beta phase, and theres still many subreddits i follow that dont have a community here yet. until then ill probably still browse reddit from time to time
I deleted mine a few months ago for reasons unrelated to the API. I continued to lurk as a guest using sync, so I was exactly the kind of person they were happy to be rid of.
I still use old.reddit and I will probably use it for communities that are still over there until old reddit is gone.
I now just use nothing at all on mobile, I’m waiting for Sync for Lemmy and diving into Lemmy on my desktop for now.
