Unfortunately Reddit is almost too big at this point to fail. The fact that official communities exist over there is enough to keep them afloat. But Reddit as we all knew it is dead. I was always worried about Reddit going public effecting it’s quality, and the staff have only confirmed my fears. Luckily Reddit offers nothing anyone else can do, and jumping ship to a competitor had never been easier.
I believe you can also back up your reddit comments and posts with Power Delete Suite before the 30th, just be sure not to click the delete or modify post options if you don’t want to do that
Just zeroed mine a few hours ago. I doubt it’ll make a difference in the grand scheme of things but it makes it harder to go back. Now that I don’t have a login I don’t see my own frontpage so that should be a good enough reminder.
Digg’s still around, and still active… One of the posts today had a staggering 5 comments in just 7 hours! Must be the influx of displaced reddit users lol

Long live the Fediverse.
Tough to disagree, hopefully long term users decide to gtfo before it gets even worse.
12+ years here, deleted my account 2days ago. fuck @spez@reddit.com
Hell yeah! I’m too much of a hoarder to delete mine, but the only interactions I will ever have on that app will be telling people to try lemmy.

Digg is still around too, after all.
Heck, so are Slashdot, Fark, and Usenet.
Reddit doesn’t need to “die” in order for something better to come along.
