I was sort of holding on to hope, that something would change. Unfortunately, nothing did and so, here I am.

I’m really liking kbin so far, so I’m looking forward to spending more time with you all over here. ❤️

    Been here since the blackouts started and it feels much more chill here.

    Just pulled the plug on my 8 year old account as soon as Sync stopped working. I had already made my decision a few days ago once mods were being forcibly removed so this was merely a formality. It was still a sombre feeling watching it burn, but I’m glad that I can move on now.

    Anyway, welcome and here’s to a new era without corporate enshittification.

    I was permanently banned from Reddit for daring to suggest something or other (no doubt an anti-gay fascist type) that offended someone, somewhere. No explanation of what it was. I have nearly 5K followers, but now that I’m perm banned I want my Reddit account deleted for good. They say they can’t delete it. I’ve threatened legal action against them unless they do so - I do not want my username or likeness associated with their fraudulent forum any longer. I seriously have filed papers against them and will use my estate inheritance to sue them if they do not delete my account and all traces of it for good.

    I wasn’t holding on to hope but I’m lazy so I kept using Apollo right up until the end. Created my account here a couple of weeks ago though. I like it here, feels like late 00s internet.

    Cancelled my Reddit premium subscription just before the boycott. Deleted my 8 year old account this morning. In the box where they asked me to explain why I wanted to delete my account I said ti was in direct response to how they handled everything and their blatant disregard and disrespect they showed to the users of Reddit who made that site what it is today.

    Going to miss some things about it, but it was becoming a toxic wasteland, so, off to bigger and better things 😌

      I deleted my 12 year old account the other month. Still have to delete my 7 year old alt account…thing is I can’t figure out how to delete my comments that were left in communities that went private, so that’s why I haven’t deleted it entirely yet.

      Only thing I’m going to miss is the smaller communities I was a part of. The rest of it I won’t miss at all.

    I’m holding out on deleting mine until I know my comments and posts are staying gone. I went through PowerDeleteSuite twice and everything still came back, so we’ll see what happens.

    I also don’t want to delete it because it’s closing the door on the time I spent there. Folks on Reddit helped me get through a lot of mess and sadness in my life. It feels like losing a friend.

      I’ve threatened Reddit with legal action unless they remove my account at once and without hesitation. They are a fraudulent web forum, and are under indictment for illegally banning users who have no previous violations.

      I feel like playing No Doubt’s Don’t Speak on repeat. It is a weird collective mourning we’re going through.

    It’s a shame to have to migrate away from a place when it was fundamentally damaged by terrible top-down decisions. 2023 really is the year of getting less for more.

      Do you know how to hide posts on here once you’ve voted on them? That would be a nice feature

    Well done!
    This gives me the courage and boost to delete my reddit account which I haven’t been using since the morality collapse
