I would imagine a high proportion of people so easy to leave Reddit found it easy because they remember leaving digg.

Anyone younger than that are just bloody sensible

    I started redditing about 8 years back. After digg.

    Leaving reddit is hard but I have generally enjoyed forums and lemmy is a fun new experience I haven't had in a while.

    If anything, in 10 years I can do the whole 'I was here at the start' thing on the younglings.

    Old Slashdotter here. I skipped Fark and Digg and went straight to Reddit. I'm very happy to be here in the Fediverse/Lemmy world now.

    I don't remember exactly how I came to Reddit, but I know I'm in the 13-year club. I remember when all the Digg users came over and remember they're being a lot of anger and memes about it. But I've been around long enough to where moving to a different platform doesn't phase me in the slightest. In fact, I'm really enjoying this feeling of a reinvigorated community.

    I only joined Reddit five years ago. Leaving Reddit turned out to be pretty easy because I had other things to occupy my time with. I have a feeling that it's because I was never that attached to reddit to begin with.

    I can relate to this. I think I've been on Reddit for about 6 years. I probably had a bit of an addiction but I used to be pretty serious into forums and I have already learned how to disconnect from internet communities more than a decade ago.
