Same here. Once Apollo stopped working, I deleted my 5 year, 14k karma account. Fuck Reddit and fuck u/spez.
Me too. I had an 11 year old account that had so much info that it almost hurt, but I'm angry at Spez for ruining Reddit and this was the last straw.
I overwrote all of my comments, deleted my posts, and deleted my account with a final Fuck Spez in the "Why are you deleting your account" box.
I feel ya.
This weekend I'm going to quit all my mod duties, and delete my 10+ year account with 350k karma.
Almost brings me to tears when I think anout all the time and energy I put into keeping shit cleaned up over there.
/Kbin is my new home, and I hope to make just as many friends here as I did there.
I just spent the last hour deleting my reddit content and account, while RES still worked. Active for 12 years. Fuck spez!
I just deleted all three of my Reddit accounts. I hope a lot of others do the same!
I did as well. I was thinking that at some point they were going to talk to everyone but instead they doubled down. What ever their lost i like how chill it seems to be here.
Haven't yet deleted my 11y.o account. I know there's content associated with it that I can't delete. Raised a GDPR "right to erasure" request that I am fully prepared to go to court to see enforced.
If u/Spez continues to make shitty decisions with the platform, but with respect to data privacy laws, he's going to be put over a barrel by the ICO, and he can kiss the idea of ever taking Reddit public goodbye.
Funnily enough, it seems RTV/TUIR/TTRV still work, at least for now? Possibly since you use your own API key for those. If nothing else, my copy of RTV is still working.

Same here... 6yr old account deleted (after nuking all my comments). I didn't have as much karma as you, but I did have a lot of quality content. So long Reddit, we won't see each other again (I won't visit even as a anonymous visit) fuck spez
Just deleted my 11 year account with almost a million karma after overwriting and deleting all my comments and posts. Reddit is dead to me.
I’m likely not too far behind you. I currently have PowerDeleteSuite running to nuke all my content. I may keep my account and just lurk on there (with ad blocker running, of course), but not sure yet.
