I’ve been increasingly frustrated by reddit for years. The API issue was the final straw. I had 3 accounts and deleted all 3 just before the blackout. I left some posts because I didn’t know how to nuke it all without doing it manually. But I doubt anyone viewed anything I posted as valuable, so I’m not bothered. I’m just glad to be rid of reddit, to be honest.
BIG same. I was frustrated with a “use our official app plsz” taking up half my screen on the mobile browser, along with other… shenanigans, let’s call them. Killing 3rd-party apps (which are the only way I use Reddit on my phone) was something I wouldn’t handle. Deleted all my comments and posts after the site went back up and left only an announcement of my departure along with my lemmy handle.
