That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
15 year club here. Deleted and never looked back.
About 15 years here. Just couldn’t help it grow any bigger after what it became
Would have been 12 years this month, I haven’t deleted my account yet but I haven’t been back since end of June. While I do miss some of my old communities, I loved Apollo and Alien Blue before that and won’t go back. I posted pretty frequently and most always from mobile. I’m working on deleting the old account here soon.
I spent 5 years on Reddit, a made a lemmy account after the API changes
I saw the writing on the wall,
I joined the week that the Rampart ama took place. Reddit's been shite since about 2015 so I'm happy to have found something that feels a bit like those early days.
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.
11 years
Me
10 years here. Feels refreshing !
2013-2023.
At least 15 years here
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.
10 years for me!
I was there for at least 10 years. Not going back.
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.
I'm 10 years, I haven't left Reddit completely but I've definitely started using it significantly less
I had a 13 and a half year old account and I haven't logged in since the blackout.
Yeah, it’s been about that long.
There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?
It's me. I'm in this picture
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!
14 years for me.
I be gone. Miss the main content streams I enjoyed for sports but I think the community will build up here.
11 years here.
11 and I don't miss it anymore
13+ here
Here here
I haven't officially "quit" Reddit but I am trying to migrate over here. I was with Reddit for 12 years. To be honest the API changes alone would not have made me leave. What drove me away was the fact that so many users were protesting the changes and the admins response was "well we don't need you anyway." I don't want to be part of a site that doesn't care what its users want.
Hopefully enough people who come over to lemmy donate to keep things running with the influx of new users.
Speaking of, is there any "preference" to the three ways of donating on the site? Do any of them have lower fees or anything?
15 years for me. I'm not the type to go scorched earth, so I'll still pop in briefly from time to time from a Google search or to look for something specific, but I don't use Reddit for near-constant idle browsing anymore, like I used to. Now I have Lemmy for that, although it would probably be healthier to just cut out social media altogether (or severely reduce it).
I'm trying to remember. I know I had an app for it way back when I had an iPod touch, probably when I had the 3rd gen one.
Can't remember what year it was, but alien blue was still its own thing before it got bought out. I wanna say 12ish years? Can't remember for sure, but pretty sure I'm over 10.
Adding my hand 12+ years
Around 15 years for me. I also took 3 10+ year old accounts too
Digg poweruser, joined reddit in the digg exodus, spent many years pissing off redditors through various projects, ShitRedditSays, HailCorporate, GamingCirclejerk, the fun ones come and go in waves of interest as the zeitgeist moves along.
Been on lemmy for 3 years already now.
Yup, when Joey stopped working I tried the Reddit app for a few days, but it was just awful.
So here I am.
