    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.

          It’s pretty cozy here tbh, really liking it so far and it’s way more busy than I was expecting.

            Honestly I thought it would be tougher to switch. I know Reddit has a depth of content in niche communities and it’s tragic to lose that, but I’ve been delighted to find myself enjoying exploring a new system and all the weird and clever instances that are popping up.

      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.

        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.
