Curious, if you were/are a Reddit user, will you be leaving the platform for good or have you already? CEO has called unpaid moderators' concerns "noise", that will be "passing soon."

There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would.

This was a few days back, but I think it's important to bring up for the moment. This is just completely convincing me that those running Reddit are entirely out of touch with their moderators and the well-being of their users. Does this make you want to leave or just rub you the wrong way? Have you already left for good or are you still open to using the platform now that more subreddits are reopening?

I've personally deleted the Reddit related apps off my phone and replaced them with the webapp for Kbin for now by adding the site to my home screen, until an app is developed and released.

I abandoned the sub I moderated for years, and left almost completely. I haven’t deleted my account, but I did export all my data. Deletion is likely coming.

gentleman,

@east Just created my account here. I'm keeping my reddit account open until Apollo shuts down, deleting everything and then not looking back.

Welcome! That's cool, hope you find some communities here that you find engaging. As for deleting my account and all the rest, I'll probably do the same very soon.

Yeah, I'm done with it. It's crossed the threshold into "generic corporate social media site" at this point, so there's no reason for me to stick around there.

burgersc12,

I deleted my reddit account about 3 minutes after making this one. I have zero regrets, but the only thing i truly miss is the Tasker subreddit, I used to help out users there to figure out issues when i could. I have RedReader downloaded to view that sub once in a while, but I will no longer contribute to Reddit.

Niklaus,

I'm leaving for good. I actually like kbin more, even with all the hiccups of a growing platform it's significantly more fun than Reddit has been for a while.

The more Spez talks, the more likely I become not to return.
At some point, you would think he’d realise that the hole was deep enough.

I'll be nuking my 11 yr old account soon. I've submitted the request for my data, and once I have a copy the account is getting deleted. I won't be going back.

I joined kbin and I'll be using kbin for the forseeable future. and as a result my reddit usage has dropped. though I don't plan on leaving reddit entirely just yet. we'll see how things go though.

There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen. Remind you of anyone? It's gonna be great! It'll be the greatest you've ever seen.

I'm trying not to go back. I deleted Reddit off my phone and am avoiding opening it on my computer. But, at the same time, there's not a lot to look at on here, currently. It's a little underwhelming in its current state, but at least reminds me of the level of conversation we used to have 20 years ago on the internet.

Yeah I'm effectively off of there. I will still be looking at some of the tech related subs as they are relevant to my career, and there's also a lot of really good info buried in some of those subs. Hopefully people are scraping them - I may do so myself when/if they come back up, before the API armageddon hits.

envis10n,

I turned off all notifications, removed follower support, and uninstalled the app. Unless they reverse course, I will remain in that state of darkness. It's ridiculous, and I honestly believe this may be the nail in the coffin for them.

I'm exploring new horizons (obviously, since I'm here) but I don't plan to blip out of Reddit entirely. Not until they get rid of old.reddit, or find some other unexpected but equally awful change to make.

I do expect my engagement to drop steadily over time, though. I can see the writing on the wall. Have for years, but now the wall's within spitting distance.

Bobo_Palermo,

I am done with it. This place will be my nightly read.

Nougat,

Every single thing I've been reading about the nonsense Huffman is spewing is more idiotic than the last. I'm done.
