Just deleted my Reddit account because of a couple reasons. One, I barely used it after the API pricing protests, and two, Reddit is allowing users’ posts to be used as AI training data, which I find reprehensible for obvious reasons. I will admit that I feel pretty sad about it, though, because I made my account back before Reddit completely went down the shitter and was actually kinda decent. I hope more people use Lemmy or Kbin because it’s feeling pretty lonely here in the Fediverse. Sorry this vent isn’t particularly sad. I’m just kinda bummed about this is all.

P.S. obligatory fuck u/spez lololololol

    I wanted to since I left, which was in my case to read an absurd ban and never return.

    I won’t go back, but I haven’t deleted the two accounts. Partly out of apathy based on it already being scraped, partly out of a hoarder nature (big part here), and partly for the off-chance to see some witty shit I wrote in an AI hallucination.
