    lemmy has been fantastic but I know 50% of lemmings are gonna go back to Reddit anyway

      I think the deciding factor will be where content creators (people that post to some degree) go. Lurkers will follow them.

    I’m happy to move to a tighter community with more engagement and honestly I like that the fediverse has a higher bar to entry. Reddit discussions used to provide answers, but the quality of dialog there has regressed to the mean.

    I’m thinking I’ll stop in, in like a week or so, but before sync shuts down and see about what I want to salvage.

    Probably will also backup my reddit account and delete from the web version at some point in july once most of the 3rd party apps are shut down maybe sooner.

    Might continue to use reddit as an accountless lurker on the web version occasionally, but I am taking this as a change to lower my overall social-media-on-my-phone-aimlessly time.

    I’m stubborn enough not to.

    Maybe I’ll go to swipe some content to repost and hopefully continue to build the communities up here.

    But just like with my migration from Twitter to Mastodon, there ain’t no way I’m going back now.

    I’ve been banned from Reddit so many times for so many petty infractions… nah. Lemmy is working out just fine. Reddit can rot.

      Same except on lemmy I’m reformed and optimistic. I don’t feel the need to go against the gain like I did on reddit.

    There’s still a few subreddits that I’ll continue to follow, but it’ll be in lurker-only mode and no interaction and no adblock whitelist. My 13-year old main account will be nuked.

    If Reddit had acted less crap and unprofessional with these API changes and actually treated 3rd party devs with a minimum of respect, even if 3rd party clients ultimately died anyway, I might have continued and just stuck with old.reddit.com or something. But they didn’t.

    I’ve removed my Reddit account, including all comments, this morning. So I’m here to say!

    I’m sure at some point I’ll get on old.reddit again, for as long as it’s still around. After all, I spent a dozen years or more on reddit; it’s hard to just walk away from that cold turkey. But, I kinda like what’s going on with Lemmy. I’ve really liked what I’ve seen with lemmy.world, there’s a cool vibe here, and I’m already feeling at home. I think I’m gonna stick around. :-)

    Personally, while I’ve decided to stay off Reddit for the foreseeable future, I am gonna hop back on here and there to more or less finalize my stuff there. My “cakeday” is in a week or so, so I figure that’s a good final day to say goodbye.

    My soft timeline is to stay off for the year and see where things stand then.

    I’ll probably still append Google search with reddit until I can do so with Lemmy, Squabbles, or Tildes.

    I’ve also been checking reddit to wait for the next round of Tildes invites and using it for one very specific education related subreddit that I don’t think would ever migrate somewhere else because it’s too niche, but other than that I’ll be avoiding the rest of Reddit.
