Since Monday I’ve spent maybe 15 minutes browsing Reddit. Haven’t posted or commented in 6 days now. At this point I don’t see myself going back in any meaningful way, especially when Apollo is gone.
I’ve actually managed since last Thursday to not click the app at all. It’s been freeing, there are a few hiccups, but if I’ve made it this long, I don’t see myself ever going back.
I deleted my account and my app yesterday. RIP RIF.
I accidentally opened some reddit links because I was googling for problem solutions and didn’t notice the search results where pointing to reddit. Other than that, I haven’t used that site at all since the blackout.
The longest I was on Reddit the past couple of weeks was to clear and delete all of my comments.
I feel like I was already heavily in the camp of moving on to Lemmy over reddit. But this is so bad on reddit’s end. Their last chance for any shred of dignity is gone. I will never go back to reddit
I think Reddit hasn’t quite caught on to the fact yet that they’ve pissed off their power user / poster community. The number of comments may have stayed the same but sooner or later the quality of posts will go down.
The number of comments (and posts) stayed the same because their bots were all posting to maintain the comment quota. There is no other explanation for how a website that was 90% unusable didn’t have the slightest drop in content.
I wiped all comments and posts and deleted 3 of my accounts today. All were around 8 years old and had several thousand karma. I still have my primary, for posterity sake (17 years), but I’ve wiped and deleted all comments and posts on that as well.
I wonder what’s for lunch today.
lmao this ought to be fun
Huffman is such a dickhead.
Just deleted my account.
Go ahead and do it and show the world what a dumpster fire you are.
Seriously wish I could have puts on this IPO. Reddit will no longer be the front page of the internet in a year.
We need a reminder bot to remind me of this in a years time. I’m guessing you’re right.
The exodus is going to be similar to the Digg exodus to Reddit when V4 came out.
It’s not like there are no other options.
Of course the right wing prepper nutjob goes full authoritian on this and just replace people who are against his policies. People can’t move over from Reddit soon enough.
“Here, quick, lemme sell you some you”
Amazing how every prediction the Reddit community has made re: this situation has been coming true. They called this well before the blackouts began.

For the curious (like me), after doing some googling I found this article (it’s about spez): https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/01/30/doomsday-prep-for-the-super-rich
” I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.”
This fucking guy lol
Meaning he’ll be fine having slaves lol
Being a psycho is a requirement for the job of CEO.
This was inevitable. They’re not going to let huge subreddits just sit closed making the site look broken.
It’s dumb on their end though. They should’ve just ripped the band aid off and immediately banned mods and reopened the second of the blackout if they’re going this route. It was dumb of them to let it fester and once it had multiple days of major press, make it worse.
