I deleted both my active accounts when the API changes were first announced and have not logged in or made a new account since.

I do own one former reddit account with the same username as this one but it's been suspended for a couple months due to a "security issue". They wanted me to reset my password to a more secure one but I don't have an email linked to that account so I can't actually reset it. So I just deleted my entire comment/post history and will never be logging back into that account.

So for the past couple weeks 100% of my reddit viewing has been while logged out and via old.reddit.com with an adblocker active.

Mainly I was checking reddit just out of morbid curiousity to see how the blackout was progressing and see if spez/admins were gonna say any more laughably stupid shit.

I first started lurking on Lemmy around the same time that I deleted my 2 active reddit accounts and as it has become more active I decided to go ahead and make an account here and give it a proper try. So far I'm enjoying myself and I hope this place continues to grow more as more people abandon reddit.
