Reddit

14 years. Mostly on RIF. Deleted my account on the last day. Enjoying it here. Many thanks to all of you!

I made my first account in 2007. I ended up deleting it before long but I made another in 2009, which I deleted a couple of weeks ago (after manually deleting every comment and post I had ever made).

Officially, I had just reached the 14-year club.

I did.

Honestly Lemmy isn't proving particularly great yet; most of the top posts are from terminally-online agenda posters banging the same identity politics drum I couldn't escape on Reddit.

I think the main reason is the smaller communities here haven't reached critical mass yet. I'm not going back to Reddit, though, because I produced a lot of content for them over the years and they repaid me with a terrible user experience and endless adverts.

Hopefully it'll get better here. If not, maybe something else will pop up. Or I can just find an extra hobby.

10 years, pretty much on the nose, I was there until RIF went away, and been here since.

Two accounts. One I used to moderate that I made in 2009, and my other account was made about 10 years ago.

Used RIF on mobile and RES on desktop.

Now I use neither, deleted my moderator account and just left my more personal account to rot. (Don't want to delete everything on that one just yet).

Over 10 years on the account, 1 or 2 extras of lurking before that.

I'm gone for the most part, I don't ever open Reddit just to scroll since I jumped to Lemmy, but I do still add "Reddit" at the end of my Google searches because search engines have become useless and that's still the best way I know to get somewhat unbiased replies on just about any topic.

12 years here, started using it regularly after they killed Google reader.

Haven't deleted my account but I've exclusively been here now. It was a few years old. Want to see Lemmy (and other alternative sites) grow as reddit loses.

I think u/jackcooper made it to 10? I was on 2-3 years before making an account

I left at the start of the blackout which was 2 weeks under 10 years for me.

I put in something like 11 years. It's kong enough to understand that platforms can and will die in 10+ years.

13 years here. Spent a few years before that just lurking.

I had to go and check. 11+ years it seems - oh how the time flies. I was pretty much a lurker so I didn't bother with cleaning up my history. I also never used Digg - I guess I've grown up during the period that Digg was sinking and Reddit gained it's popularity.

Yet it's weird how easily I could replace Reddit with Lemmy after such time. Sure, there isn't an Apollo replacement on iOS but to be honest, I don't currently even want one. Most of the communities have started migrating here as well so I'm not missing anything relevant after all.

My cake day was July 11 2011 so almost 12 years to the day when I left.

12 years here on my oldest account

Present, 11 year old account when I left. Not "deleted" because I'm lazy, but certainly abandoned.

Yo.

5y, I really miss Unexpected sub

Me.

15 years and almost went to a stop going there (I setup a RSS feed for 3 subs, but I actually manually check them twice a week to make sure I'm not missing on important news)

The fediverse as a whole is getting more and more interesting this year. Sure, it's still lacking in amount of content, but it brings me "good enough" content to avoid feeling like I'm missing something.

8 for me

2013-2023.

I'm 10 years, I haven't left Reddit completely but I've definitely started using it significantly less

I spent 5 years on Reddit, a made a lemmy account after the API changes

I saw the writing on the wall,

15 year club here. Deleted and never looked back.

My main account over there isn't that old, but I've been using the site off/on for probably at least that long. I mainly was a reader/lurker over there for years as I didn't really feel like posting as at the time almost everything I posted got downvoted for some reason. Then over time as I got older I cared less about that and started posting more. Last I checked I think my karma was 100,000-something.

It's good to be on the old internet. 10+ years, 300k nuked karma. I still have my account to take care of some subs but the activity is here.

12 years here. Few thousand karma. Fuck the corporate shit.

I'm one. First found Reddit around 2011 iirc and yeah, the changes of the past 5-7 years took much of what brought me there in the first place away. The most recent API changes, killing the app that made me a daily user in the first place were just the cherry on top and what really crosses the line for me. Censor it all you want, hated that but what site isn't censored to the brim nowadays? But take away my favorite apps and basically extort the developer? Nah.

I joined Digg v3 back in the day and reddit along with it. When Digg changed their website I pretty much went all in on reddit.

Now here we are.

I think I had 10 years on reddit. I stopped goin after the API stuff. But I am still googling old reddit threads for tech support inquiries.

I had a 13 and a half year old account and I haven't logged in since the blackout.

10 years here and started with BaconReader. I had a long, 5-ish year hiatus for no particular reason from Reddit and started using it again in 2019 on the official app.

I just logged back into Reddit via RedReader to find communities to join here on Lemmy via Liftoff. I'm hoping more Redditors have enough of the BS and migrate here!

12 years. The couple times I have gone back since joining here I can't help but notice how toxic the comments are. Didn't notice it before... Must've been a boiling frog phenomenon .

Much more joyous here. I'm hoping that vibe stays around here for a little while.

I've deleted multiple accounts over the years trying to leave Reddit. All my accounts are now gone and I only visit of an Internet search brings me to the site.

Joined in 2008, left in 2023.. the only constant is change
