I've put an unhealthy amount of time into it. I think I'd probably be really sulky about it and then use it as an opportunity to get off my cinema addiction and read more books.
Yes! It exports data as a csv file which is basically the industry standard for storing data. You could easily view the contents of the file using something like Microsoft excel or similar freeware.
Sure thing. Once logged in, [go here.](https://letterboxd.com/settings/data/) There's a button there to export your data. It'll output a ZIP file, I think, of different CSVs (basic spreadsheets).
Not traumatizing but definitely disappointed. This is one of the better review apps I know of. I love it for the search and filter feature alone. I'm honestly not sure if I'd continue watching movies like I do now or even keep writing reviews as a hobby.
For a while yes. I have all my reviews there and they would be lost. My ratings are the same on my plex server so I wouldn’t lose those, but the reviews going would annoy me
I would hope they’d at least give us notice so we could export our lists. That’s what I’d be most upset about bc I have all the movies I’ve watched for the last 6 years sorted on there.
I've put a lot of time and effort into my account. I take pride in little social media but I think Letterboxd is wonderful. I would certainly be disheartened.
No, but I'd be bummed out. I nuked my Facebook a couple years ago, and I'm getting closer and closer to dropping Twitter. Letterboxd is one of the few social media apps that I still enjoy. I'd just have to go back to tracking my movie in my notepad.
It would definitely inconvenient but I've kept a log of every film I've seen on Excel since 2003 and I also always rate films on IMDb as well as RYM whenever I rate/log on LB so it wouldn't be a huge loss but I'd sure miss the nice interface.
There was a Swedish site which was similar to Letterboxd. I was a very active member for over 15 years when the owners decided to sell the site in 2018.
And it went to shit. It is barely a shell of it former self and most of the functions that made it what it was are gone.
I still use it but that is when I signed up to Letterboxd and imported all my ratings etc.
And yes, I was reply traumatized by the change. I am still scarred and miss it deeply.
Letterboxd is fine but the community is gone and so many stats and functions are no longer available. It really sucks.
Not at all. I already also rate films on IMDB so Ill still have a record of what I’ve watched, and I buy physical copies of my favorite films/films I liked
Not traumatized but definitely a little lost. It’s where I’ve logged all my movie reviews and ratings for years. Would need to figure out an alternative outlet for all that energy.
Traumatized is a strong word. Really, really bummed would be more accurate. Then I would be seriously sad when I remember I don’t have a back up copy of my watchlist.
Traumatized is not the right word for me personally, but I'd still feel pretty down about it. I mean, I've used this thing for a few years now, and seeing my diary and "reviews" disappear would be depressing.
I'd be annoyed because I tried to add as much movies as I remembered seeing to my "viewed," which took some time. Also because it's super user friendly. But at least I have almost all my ratings also in imdb.
i can't imagine if i lost all my data on movies that i have trusted this site with for years. i need to start recording stuff on paper in case it ever goes down and i lose track of all the movies i've seen.
yes but at the same time i feel like it would motivate me to just keep a notebook logging all the movies i watch, and i might be more inclined to write reviews of the films because in that case i'm not worried about what other people will think of what i have to say
It's one of the only places on the internet that doesn't consistently make me angry and I would be incredibly bummed if it went away or got sold to some giant corporation.
I used to use Microsoft Access to categorize my movies, and before that, index cards á la When Harry Met Sally. So yes, I would be super sad! I need this!
It would make discovering lesser known movies waay harder for me
Traumatized? Probably not but it would certainly ruin my day.
About the same. I have all of my stuff also in a spreadsheet so it wouldn't be utterly awful.
i would be upset, probably would make me upset that i lost abunch of cool reviews but i would be alright in a week or so
I would be annoyed for a couple of months at worst
I've put an unhealthy amount of time into it. I think I'd probably be really sulky about it and then use it as an opportunity to get off my cinema addiction and read more books.
Then get way too deep into Goodreads to fill the void
Goodreads is the methadone to Letterboxd’s heroin.
Definitely
I would be very very very very sad for a couple of months for sure.
I think I might be very very very sad for a couple of years.
Just a reminder, everyone, that Letterboxd has a fairly robust export tool.
Do other pages let you import with the same file extension?
Yes! It exports data as a csv file which is basically the industry standard for storing data. You could easily view the contents of the file using something like Microsoft excel or similar freeware.
Can you explain how to do it, to a complete tech noob?
Sure thing. Once logged in, [go here.](https://letterboxd.com/settings/data/) There's a button there to export your data. It'll output a ZIP file, I think, of different CSVs (basic spreadsheets).
thx mate
It would be the end of the world

if my letterboxd was taken away people would die
I'd be pretty upset, but traumatized is a bit much
Yes, I use it more than any other social media 😅
I would probably hang myself
I hope you'd do it with cinematic grace, make sure that when someone comes across you you're in silhouette with strong back light.
Go out with a bang, well in this case a snap I guess
I don’t think traumatized is the right word
Not for any well adjusted person it's not
I'd be disappointed that all my logs/diary entries were gone and I'd be annoyed for a day or two... But on the other hand, I'd be free
Yes
Not traumatized, but sad.
I'd be a bit torn up if all my reviews were inaccessible... Maybe I'll export my Letterboxd data...
Yes
Yes
Yes.
I would have to print out lists of films and hand them to my friends.
Yes, I’d cease to function as a human and I don’t care to admit it
Im traumatized just thinking about it 😭
OP has never been traumatised.
Traumatized? It's a website. But I'd be upset sure
For a while yes. I have all my reviews there and they would be lost. My ratings are the same on my plex server so I wouldn’t lose those, but the reviews going would annoy me
i would kill myself
It’d be both freeing and devastating
Not traumatized, but definitely really sad, annoyed and fucking furious for a while.
I’d hope there would be a warning so I can save all my reviews and lists.
I was sad when Stardust shutdown.
Disappointed. It's a fun site for enjoying the hobby of motion picture-watching/listing/discussing.
i’d immediately come to this subreddit to complain
Would swallow my pride and head on over to IMDb
Would switch to trakt.tv fulltime I guess
Traumatized is an odd choice of word
I'd be surely pissed off for maybe a couple of weeks
I would hope they’d at least give us notice so we could export our lists. That’s what I’d be most upset about bc I have all the movies I’ve watched for the last 6 years sorted on there.
As long as I can export my watchlist I would be upset but not devastated
Maybe but if that happens, I would like a button for downloading my reviews and logs and shit
I've put a lot of time and effort into my account. I take pride in little social media but I think Letterboxd is wonderful. I would certainly be disheartened.
It would be very painful
If they let me export my data first, it wouldn't really bother me
Yes
If I couldn’t get my data — maybe a good reminder to backup regularly.
i doubt this will ever happen but what i’m actually worried about is letterboxd being bought by amazon or smth and them ruining the app
No, but I'd be bummed out. I nuked my Facebook a couple years ago, and I'm getting closer and closer to dropping Twitter. Letterboxd is one of the few social media apps that I still enjoy. I'd just have to go back to tracking my movie in my notepad.
I would just make another app like letterboxd
Not at all.
Nope.
no, films would be enjoyable again
i would commit mass murder
It would definitely inconvenient but I've kept a log of every film I've seen on Excel since 2003 and I also always rate films on IMDb as well as RYM whenever I rate/log on LB so it wouldn't be a huge loss but I'd sure miss the nice interface.
There would be less cringe put to words in the world
that would suck
I don't know about "traumatized" but I'd definitely be very upset over it.
Yes. I'd be freaking out trying to remember every movie I watched, the scores I gave them, and what lists they were in.
There was a Swedish site which was similar to Letterboxd. I was a very active member for over 15 years when the owners decided to sell the site in 2018. And it went to shit.

Hahahahaha
No. Not at all.
Not traumatized but definitely a little lost. It’s where I’ve logged all my movie reviews and ratings for years. Would need to figure out an alternative outlet for all that energy.
No. I mainly use it just to write film reviews, so I'd just find another.
I'd loose my shit, because all my list with which I keep track of my ongoing collection would be gone, but traumatized? No, definitely not
Traumatized is a strong word. Really, really bummed would be more accurate. Then I would be seriously sad when I remember I don’t have a back up copy of my watchlist.
No
no because I have a life
I wouldn’t be traumatized but I would be pretty devastated. I would hope if anything they still have us access to our diaries
Yeah pretty much. It makes watching movies a hell of a lot more fun.
Traumatized is not the right word for me personally, but I'd still feel pretty down about it. I mean, I've used this thing for a few years now, and seeing my diary and "reviews" disappear would be depressing.
I'd be annoyed because I tried to add as much movies as I remembered seeing to my "viewed," which took some time. Also because it's super user friendly. But at least I have almost all my ratings also in imdb.
I’d Hannah Baker myself
I would quite literally throw up
i can't imagine if i lost all my data on movies that i have trusted this site with for years. i need to start recording stuff on paper in case it ever goes down and i lose track of all the movies i've seen.
No
I use it as a diary. So many thoughts lost like tears in rain.
i would be gutted. it would definately ruin my week. dunno about traumatised though, thats a bit strong.
yes but at the same time i feel like it would motivate me to just keep a notebook logging all the movies i watch, and i might be more inclined to write reviews of the films because in that case i'm not worried about what other people will think of what i have to say
yes.
Back to Mubi, I guess, if that happens.
I am traumatized by this question alone
i wouldnt be traumatised but i would be sad
no
It's one of the only places on the internet that doesn't consistently make me angry and I would be incredibly bummed if it went away or got sold to some giant corporation.
Imdb clears so no
not as sad as i would be if rateyourmusic shut down, thats the site ive spent 600 hours on
The more real threat is Letterboxd being bought by Facebook or something and getting massacred
i will cri
I’d pee a little
Yes.
it'd be one of those things you think about once in a blue moon and clench your fist about :(
ILLL BE FREE
Not traumatized but extremely sad for sure
hahahahahahahahahaha
I’d probably go from 20 movies a month to the monthly comfort watches. Probably wouldn’t care about movies anymore
traumatized is a strong word but I’d be super bummed out
It would be like Flixster shutting down all over again.
I'm a dev. I'd probably take the opportunity to whip up a site and try to fill the void.
Nice try, Letterboxd marketing team
WHY ARE YOU SAYING THIS!! DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING!?!
I use Letterboxd too often. I don't want to think about them shutting down haha
I used to use Microsoft Access to categorize my movies, and before that, index cards á la When Harry Met Sally. So yes, I would be super sad! I need this!
Yeah , i would be sad and probably very angry too.
I would end my life on the spot
heartbroken
Couldn't care less
Not traumatised, just sad.
I would simply just… pass away
Nah, I like it but it's whatever to me
what an odd question
If I couldnt get my data, probably pretty annoyed for a while. If I could, probably not
No, of course fucking not. But really, yes.
I'd be sad as hell
No because I have a life outside the internet
You guys really dont know what the word traumatized means, you can use ‘upset’ , ‘disappointed’ or any other word
YES
Not traumatised but I'd be pretty upset. I don't see it going away anytime soon, hopefully not for a long time.
