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.

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

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

Close to 5-6 or so years if I count my banned account years.
Still on both fences but I will try to transition once sync for lemmy is ready.

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

Not quite there yet, but 8 years and left with Sync.

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

Yep, I left when it was announced Apollo was shutting down.

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

I was there for about 15 years, shortly after launch, when there were only a handful of predefined subreddits. I would say "good times" but there was also shit like jailbait as a default sub...

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

Yep, part of the 11-year club as well. I stopped browsing on mobile when Apollo died. I still browse on old.reddit in a browser, but I've found about 60%-70% of the content on here that I was looking for over there. So, not too shabby.

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

12 or 13 years? Don't really remember or care!

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

16 years for me. They took away the app I preferred (joey) so I went somewhere else.

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

13+ here, haven't gone to browse it since they announced the third party changes - despite, I think, my chosen app still working, I removed the shortcut from my home screen and it pretty much stopped me. Few days of awkward muscle memory tapping the area it used to be (embarrassing?)

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

11 years. Had to use an extension to manually block Reddit to stop myself from automatically going to Reddit for the first two months.

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

9 years on my last account. About 13 or 14 years on my first one that was doxxing me

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

Joined in 2009. Pretty much never browse Reddit anymore other than specific scenarios.

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

12 years. Deleted my account. Fuck em

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

Reporting for duty, sir!

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

I forget what year it happened in but I started reddit with the Digg migration.

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

Over 10. I left for Voat, then it died, then I didn't come back for a long time. Started enjoying it again and now I'm done.

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

I was there for nearly fifteen years. Been looking for an excuse to dump Reddit for a couple years now, ever since lockdown when I got in the habit of checking Reddit a dozen times a day.

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

I was on Reddit since Digg went the way of the dodo. Changed accounts one time, the one I deleted when Apollo died was just shy of 10 years. It was tough.

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

9 years here, was quite active too

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

My longest running account will be 10 years old in December.

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

I was on Reddit for over 5 years

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

Deleted my 11 year old account. Stepped down as mod

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

Left when Apollo wasn't allowed to continue

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

Should be 10 years soon. I honestly haven't had any issues personally, but spez fell really low with his claims and decisions and I don't like the corporate stink. Better do something before it does affect me personally, and help the Fediverse grow.

My oldest account was 11.5 years old. Together the 3 of them had half a million karma. Used Relay for most of that time. Haven't used any of my accounts since the API shutdown. This made me not want even visit the site anymore.

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

12 years here sounding off

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

11 years over here!

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

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

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

16+ years. No intentions of going back. The Fediverse is cool, and I’m enjoying it.

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

Add another

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

2008 for me.

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

I've all but stopped using Reddit. I was extremely active for well over a decade.

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

12 years here
