That’s me deleted my Reddit account along with all data as I do not agree with recent events that have been taking place. I’m going to concentrate on Mastodon , Lemmy and take a look at Kbin .

    I feel you. I am signing up for Lemmy, even though I still hope that Reddit’s shitshow will be resolved by June 30th. I joined Reddit around 16 years ago and while I nuked many alt accounts in this timeframe, nuking the final one, knowing it will be my departure from the site feels… weird.

    Lemmy has a long way to go before it can be an actual replacement, but seeing the steady stream of new users over the past few days, I can see the potential. It feels very much like when I first joined Reddit.

      I don’t think I’ve taken a shit without opening reddit in 10 years. I never viewed it as social media. More like someone watching TV or reading a book. 10 years is the same age as my son. That is a quarter of my life Reddit is Fun has been 90% of my phone usage (I take a lot of shits apparently). That is a hard thing to scrub from existence. But, if they are forcing me to get rid of Reddit is Fun and I have to learn a new UI I might as well leave to greener pastures anyway.
