Yup. I was a user (different username) since 2008. I haven't been back since June 12. I used Reddit daily. Even on vacation. Even on vacation in Europe when I'd be connected to Wi-Fi.

See ya.

I was also there since 2008, and was a heavy user. I've checked in a few times in the past month (a lot of my more niche communities haven't moved over yet), but I don't comment or interact anymore. Once Relay dies it's off my phone (it's already lost the homescreen shortcut), and if old.reddit dies I'm done forever.

Same, and also an OG Reddit user. My Reddit use has probably went down at least 75% since Apollo stopped functioning. The official app UI is so bad that it’s not even worth me scrolling through all the ads or fighting the horrible layout to try and find the stuff I’m looking for.

I now only check the desktop site maybe once a day. And funnily enough most of my favorite subs have been dead since before July 1st anyway. I would love to see Reddits metrics because there’s no way they haven’t felt this dropoff, even if most of the TikTok crowd continues to consoom the big meme subreddits.
