Welp, I just deleted my 12 year old, 240k+ karma Reddit account

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. ❤️

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.

Yeah, it does! Things are chaotic and they don't quite work but it's super neat because we get to see shape up and improve! And the dev seems pretty down to earth and responsive.

The amount of content is already fine. You are actually able to have meaningful discussions instead of being comment No 1000 that nobody reads.

Ya I just made mine after RIF closed. I didn't get to nuke my reddit account before thr api close tho

I used PowerDeleteSuite a few days ago and edited all of my comments, then I waited to see how many reverted back. I edited them again until they all stuck, then deleted them and checked if any would get unselected. Repeat until nothing was left. All that was left was to delete my account itself.

You can do it from the website directly though

Yup, was browsing on Apollo and it was working until it suddenly stopped. Interestingly enough, I had just tapped on Christian's farewell post and the app crashed due to the API server being shut down.

Deleted the app, came here, spun up this account. See no need to go back to Reddit.
