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’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 was holding onto my account as well. That was until just a few minutes ago. I was browsing /r/all to see if there was any remaining discussion on the API shutting down. I only came across a couple of threads, all of which, to varying degrees, misrepresented what is going on. Comments making lite of the impact of 3rd party apps dying, and completely ignoring the fact that the owner of Reddit is acting with complete disrespect towards those who made the platform what it is today.
At that moment, I didn’t give a shit about my account anymore. Are there bots astroturfing the comment section? Maybe. Are there users who are acting a little smug because they don’t feel negatively impacted at all yet? Probably. Whatever. They can have whatever is left of the site.
I’m not going to stand for this. It feels like in life, there are so many bad things that happen that we have no control over. This is something I have 100% control over. It’s so simple, just never go on Reddit again.
It was never about Reddit in the first place. It was just about hopping onto a forum and talking about games, current events, memes, comics, art, cats, etc. If /u/Spez and his ilk are going to be so disrespectful towards those who want to facilitate said forum, then I’ll find another one immediately.
Did the same, and signed up here. Let’s see what happens.
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.
Thank you for your service and welcome aboard!
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.
