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.

MODERATORS
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.
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
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 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 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 deleted mine right after this api shit came out. I was close to done with it before that and it only made it happen faster. The fediverse is way better.
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 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.
