After Apollo’s API token was invalid, I deleted my account. I know it’s a minuscule drop in the ocean for Reddit, but not matter, I’m with Lemmy and the fediverse come what may.

Same, in the optional feedback box, I told them to fire Spez

Same. Can’t do much, but I think voting with our feet is the right thing to do.

I think this is also true for a lot of long term power-users of reddit. So, LOTS of drops in the ocean.

I can confirm. The drop wouldn't impact me until they drop old.reddit.com, but I dropped Reddit because of moral reasons.

I also deleted my account on Friday. Yea, we are just few drops, but enough drops have an impact.

I haven’t deleted my account, but I deleted every post and comment.

worth keeping your account on the off chance someone with a brain takes over and unfucks the place or you can find a good price to sell it to spammers.

I’ve also kept my account for the time being in case they want to revert any comments. Will be deleting in a few days.
