Deleting reddit is self-care.

The propaganda campaign is really ramping up. This is the second time in as many days that I've heard leftists being called terrorists. I'm already a groomer and pedophile according to these people. I guess it stands to reason that terrorist is next up. It's really not going to be long before there's calls to lock us all up.

I have pictures of me before deleting my reddit account and after 9 months of deleting it and I look like a completely different person, it's like I'm a malnourished plant that got watered.

The subreddit I used to enjoy going to got hijacked by zionist mods and you literally can't even say free Palestine there without being banned for anti semitism.

Yeah, there's definitely a shift towards more reactionaries now on Reddit. People saying the French Revolution was bad and monarchist comments in the soccer sub.

called me a "terrorist"

We did it folks, we finally made it back to 2002

I've already been suspended I need to stop using it but shitliberalssay keeps me coming back I need to delete it too

I stopped using reddit as part of the "blackout," but during that time I realized I didn't actually miss much of the site. I would like to find alternatives to certain hobby subreddits though (namely for Nuzlocke challenges and worldbuilding).

i'm so glad that i quit reddit

I'm not quitting Reddit yet but the number of subreddits I'm subscribed to is going down and now that RIF doesn't work anymore I've stopped using Reddit on my phone

I only go there for the informational and hobby subs like fermentation, fasting, woodworking, etc. Everything else that's not some kind of hobby related thing just gets taken over by power mods and turned into a spam box of the exact same shit as all the other mainstream subs mingled with fed posting.

I deleted reddit after I told an ancap dad that he shouldn't be allowed within 50 feet of ANY child and should probably do the world a favor and redacted himself.

He deserved it, for sure. But I realized that I did not desire to be the type of person telling others to harm themselves online, regardless of who they are. It just made me mad and was never worth it.

I'm holding on to my Reddit account the same as I'm holding on to my Twitter account. I might come back to it later, if conditions change, but I'm sure as shit not contributing meaningful content on either of those platforms anymore.

Welcome to a new sense of sanity. You'll never regret ditching that neoliberal echo chamber.

I used the API to overwrite and delete all my messages and deleted my account today.

I'm slowly deleting all my social media accounts and stay only on fediverse stuff. I think the slower, less FOMO driven nature of Lemmy will make it a more healthy to find people to talk with.

I have to admit, it is gratifying not to have to field dozens of replies that include the word "tankie".
