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.

      I feel like playing No Doubt’s Don’t Speak on repeat. It is a weird collective mourning we’re going through.

      I’ve threatened Reddit with legal action unless they remove my account at once and without hesitation. They are a fraudulent web forum, and are under indictment for illegally banning users who have no previous violations.
