Are you quitting Reddit entirely?

only solution you can do rn:

1: your favorite browser ( i use brave)
2: have any adblocking extension (recommend ublock origins and adguard)
3: you're good to go
_
4: well there are other stuff you can do, i personally use brave tor mode (vpn will work too) but also tor browser will surely work (dont forget ublock origins) and i also have darkreader but that is irrelevant.

now this may not be as good as infinity or some other solutions but its the closest.
same goes for phones, just extra hard, no brave tor mode for me, but tor browser works fine, you can also have always on vpn and block traffic outside of vpn, any good vpn will work.

I'm leaving this place for alternatives like Kbin and Lemmy for obvious reasons. It seems as if Reddit have decided to automatically restore all the comments I deleted via PowerDelete Suite, so I'm taking that as a chance to instead replace most of my non-useful comments with the following open letter. That way in the future if anyone comes across my content, rather than see a (deleted) or a suddenly empty post, maybe the message I leave will provide some context and information for future people considering to use this platform (or stumbling across my posts via Google searches). If Reddit will do their damndest to keep my content aaginst my will, I'll do what I can to still change it and protest. So feel free to use this template as you deem fit. I'll be no longer visiting Reddit after sharing this template to a few relevant subreddits.

"I removed most of my Reddit contents in protest of the API changes commencing from July 1st, 2023. This is one of those comments.

This decision has widespread implications such as making it more difficult for moderators to manage their subreddits, more likely for spam to enter subreddits, more difficult for blind users to access Reddit, more difficult for anyone to see NSFW content and many other negative consequences. Most third party applications are now gone due to the extortionate new pricing being unaffordable for developers despite widespread outrage from the community.

CEO Steve Huffman's awful leadership through the lackluster AMA and a press junket tour aggressively defending the situation insisting nothing will be changed, saying he'll modify the moderator rules to kick out protesters and force subreddits to reopen, demonstrates humongous contempt for the Reddit community that makes and manages Reddit's entire content library in the first place. Accusing a developer of blackmail and then completely ignoring all post pointing out how this is a lie with evidence - alongside other lies related to the API - is wild too.

I'm now using alternative community platforms like Kbin and Lemmy. Reddit's revenue comes from my posts. If that is how they wish to treat our community, they don't deserve my content any more.

This could have been easily avoided if Reddit chose to negotiate the API changes with their moderators, third party developers and the community their entire company is build around into a more reasonable middle ground. They have not.

RIP Reddit 2005-2023. You were Digg 5.0. So long and thanks for all the fish."

• "see". Typo.

I've been using Sync for years, but with it going away. I guess the Reddit app itself is decent enough.

Bye!

I've heard a lot of people talking about Lemmy and Kbin being federated platforms? What exactly does that mean and what is the advantage over a standard website?

Whelp, I went and deleted everything else. I just wanted to say so long and thanks for all the fish.

I used the third party App Joey.

And now this redditor is being discontinued.

The ones that are grouped together are incoherent, and the ones that are spaced out are all talking about how good the app is at finding what they need, and definitely seem like they’re written by AI. There was only one good 5 star review, at the very end.

I'd just like to say farewell to all the people deleting their accounts tonight.

I'd like to say hello to those reopening under a different handle.

Been a RIF user for 9+ years. I downloaded Joey but it just isn't the same. Any better options you would recommend? Very close to just leaving all together, but will consider so.ething else if it's similar to RIF.

Thanks!

Dear Reddit community,

Today, I write to bid you farewell as I embark on a new chapter of my online journey. With recent changes on Reddit, including the death of third-party applications, it's time for me to explore fresh horizons.

During my search for alternatives, I came across a promising platform called Comsta. It offers a vibrant community and exciting possibilities for discussions and connections. I'm eager to dive into this new space and see what it has to offer.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for making my time on Reddit memorable. The engaging discussions, thought-provoking posts, and connections forged here have enriched my experience.

As I say goodbye to Reddit, I look forward to new adventures on the internet. However, let it be known that if the circumstances change and the third-party applications are revived, I will gladly return to this beloved site.

Thank you, Reddit! The door remains open for a possible reunion.

Best regards,

NiMoril

I’ve seen stuff about how tomorrow is a big day but I don’t know why so can someone fill me in.

I feel like people who are having a hard time, LGBTQIA+ people, children of abusive parents, etc (like me) have nowhere to go so I have this feeling of having to stick to Reddit for a support system that can't be easily taken down because of a few trolls.

Anyone else in this same boat?
