I deleted mine nearly directly on the spot when the news about shutting out 3rd-party apps hit the net. No big deal.

Done some weeks ago already. Reddit is increasingly suffering from what Doctorow calls enshittyfication and that led me to delete my account.

I won't delete all my comments, there are many that are answers to questions and explanations/instructions for those having problems.

I don't feel like it's right to remove them, since so many times I too found solutions in reddit old comments that I couldn't find anywhere else.

For now I'm just downloading my history, then I'll check subs selectively, I may delete a few in non-significant subs but the rest in subs containing help for others will stay.

I will probably wait until r/programmerhumor goes dark to delete

I did today. My account was about 5.5 years old and I have to admit it was somewhat hard at the beginning. But to be honest I already don’t care anymore.

That API stuff was a huge shitshow that made me really angry. I even would have paid a subscription to be able to keep using Apollo. But if Reddit decides to bring people out of business they are not going to do business with me either.

I deleted my accounts earlier this week (before the AMA). I decided I could just make a new one in the future if that ever was a thing, and I’d rather not contribute to their line charts of “active users”, and rather would appear on those for “accounts deleted in the last 30 days”.

For me it was a symbolic reminder that I don’t want to lurk there and deleting my account was an action I remember. I hope they follow the direction of Twitter and Instagram by making the platform unusable without an account, further cementing more barriers for me.

I have to be 100% honest, probably won't delete it

Though come the 12th I'll be uninstalling Relay and hopefully make something of Lemmy

I'll try to back up all the content I created over the years (mostly memes) and my comments, but I don't feel like using Reddit anymore.

It was convenient, but their business practices are a slap in the face of too many users, mods and devs.

I deleted my throwaways weeks ago, but I deleted my main account earlier today. I lurked more than I posted which I guess means I don't have a lot of the history a lot of others have with their account but I posted every so often and had the account for years.

Even so, reddit has made it a place I don't want to be, I want them to know that (by falling user numbers) and I also worry reddit will make it more difficult in the future to get rid of your account.

I’ve deleted all my content (by hand—there wasn’t much), and I plan to delete my account on June 30 before Apollo stops working.

i saved what i wanted and used shreddit to wipe all my comments, i did have a couple good threads with answers to questions but they were so outdated i dont think it mattered so i removed all comments, then deleted my account. here now today.

My account is still there but I haven't been back since creating an account here on sh.itjust.works. I don't plan on going back.

I have a lot of things saved so I'll probably keep it until I can extract what I want to keep.

Deleted the app off my phone and put Lemmy in its place to try and switch. Not going to delete my account or posts, just not going back.

I've been banned from reddit like a bazillion times.

I have no such weakness.

Already deleted all content a couple of years ago and was just lurking. Did notice that it became a chore, especially when boys became prevalent. Forced closure of 3rd party apps was the straw that broke this camels back. It’s a shame because it’s been roughly ten years or so and Reddit truly devolved

I don’t think I’m going to delete, but I don’t think I will engage.

I've already deleted my reddit account a few days ago, never gonna use reddit for the foreseeable future.

I have not deleted it yet in hopes that they will roll back / cancel the api changes. I will not be using it until they do however. Lemmy seems like a really wholesome place so far.

Just deleted RiF in anticipation of the blackout. Ill check it again on the first of next month and if it doesn't exist or work ill be gone for good. Going to suck, mainly need to find a new source for news, possibly on youtube or here, just enough to be up to date.

I’ll be deleting my 10+ year account once Apollo dies. May lurk in a few communities for a bit until there’s something similar here.

I didn't delete my account, but my local community and I have switched to Discord and Lemmy. I think I'm now spending more time on these two services than on Reddit.

Fully deleted. Never going back. To be honest, I was looking for a reason to get off. Glad it’s done.

I deleted my 10 year old account and haven't looked back. It was all useless karma after all.

I have. And i would love for it to be permanent, but that's going to depend on if Lemmy continues to build content. At the end of the day, I like this platform but without content I won't stay. Current momentum is looking fantastic though, and I will continue to comment and add my pieces!

I don't plan on deleting my reddit accounts to be honest, I put way too much work in them, plus they have some saved posts that I really need and use as a reference from time to time. Also, there are some communities there that I don't believe will shift over here (for some, I am sure they won't, since they're other not that big amd moderation is not a problem for them), so I'll mostly be using Lemmy and Reddit interchangeably.

I've deleted all the posts in my 12 year account but I find it hard to nuke the whole account.

They sure aren't going to make any more money off of me though.

I've deleted my comments and posts and find Reddit then restored them a few hours later.

So I've written some Python to delete them automatically and have it run on a schedule. Fuck 'em. A week later and Reddit are still restoring my data for the script to delete.

I think i'll nuke mine after the AMA. Just one more hour!

Edit: its gone
