Just deleted my 12+ year account on Reddit and I’m still feeling weird.
Was a long time lurker. My grand total of upvotes reached 4K!
I used Redact to remove my comments; there were so few posts I could delete them on my own.
Experiencing those feelings of ‘oh, this is a toxic relationship; but I really don’t want to leave because there’s this groove and so much history’
That’s it. It is HISTORY.
and now I’m out
I deleted my account after 8 and a half years after the API changes took affect and since then, I haven’t really missed it. Besides the API changes, the other decisions the admins have made shows that either they’re intentionally trying to run Reddit into the ground or they’re incredibly incompetent. Regardless, Reddit has shown it’s a platform I no longer want to be a part of.
