News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
 

I was just browsing a thread on c/nfl looking for new mods. There were multiple 12+ year Redditors there offering to help.

Got me wondering. There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?

Edit: I didn't expect this post to be as poignant as it became. There are so many of you... I can't reply to everyone. I'm an 11 year user and have modded something like 150 subs over the years. I'm really sad too, but I'm finding that lemmy has most of the content I'm looking for, just needs more comments.

The API was a big blow, but removing awards on past posts and deleting coin balances is really dumb.

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

I was there since 2010, then I got banned for getting into spats with fascists. Fuck’em all. Reddit sucks. Free speech my ass.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I dunno... 2009ish

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

12 years here on my oldest account

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I was at about 12 when I left

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Digg refugee, so my reddit account is 13 years old.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Exactly 10 years. Haven't visited Reddit since mid-june. I miss it? Yeah, but fuck Spez

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I just googled it. Reddit was made in 2005. That means I must've started using it in 2007 or 8.

11 year old reddit account deleted, plus an anon alt for gaming stuff.

I had no interest in using reddit without Apollo anyway, but the way they treated Selig and the other devs was just mind blowing. The treatment of mods after I'd already deleted everything just made me more sure I'd made the right decision.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Said it elsewhere sometime yesterday-- bout 13 years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I think I had 9, but a year or two of lurking prior.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I'm a 10 yearer. Shame, I loved Rif.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

My oldest account is just under 14 years old. I only visit to check on the status of my data download, and check on one sub once a month.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Me, the modding had become a real quagmire.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

There since 2009. That's about when I started mainlining the internet. Glad to watch it burn here with all of you. Cheers!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

had an 11 year old account. Deleted it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure I was at 11 years. Not going back to check

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Who can say, but I have largely left the site.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

7 years, still there to moderate because only half of the community wanted to leave. But that's it, no more frontpage for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

13 years here. Not going back!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

10+ years, I had really started to generate content the last couple years, and will now forever be at 49.5k karma. I even used the shitty app, but left for good when spez started talking about admiring musk. He's an unredeemable prick.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

9 years on reddit. I didn't post a lot of content or comments but I read a lot. As soon as they killed 3rd party apps, I left. And switched to lemmy. I like it here. I think I already posted more comments here, than on reddit. I don't miss reddit at all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Almost 11 years with this username, a few years before that with another account that was linked to IRL stuff so decided to dedoxify myself.

I'm glad tbh - Reddit's been tailspinning as an experience since 2016 at least, it's just become much more aggressive about hating it's userbase and free labour recently.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Almost 18 years for me, I left Digg for Reddit over the HD DVD thing. It was really hard to leave.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Around 8 years here. I really hate ads, so i just leave this shitty network.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

What's got 2 thumbs and is this guy?

THIS GUY!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My account had just turned 11 years old when all of this started. After RIF didn't let me log in any more I just quit reddint entkrelt. The RIF app itself is still installed in my phone though, as a memento. Even if reddit were to turn back on its decision, I don't think I'd want to go back at this point. Reddit is as good as dead for me.

12 years, deleted my account and overwrote all posts and comments I could before I did so.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago
