Reddit

Well, I don't qualify, I just have just 9+ years...

Long time Usenet user, started Reddit in Feb 2013. There were a few scandals and growing pains, but it always felt like a (somewhat rowdy) community. As a user-centric volunteer generated forum I never imagined it would succumb to corporate greed, but here we are. Or, there we were. Lemmy feels like a breath of fresh air.

12 years on Reddit. Found it after digg messed with their site design causing a mass exodus. Now it’s happening again! Weee!

Just over a decade on reddit. Still miss how it was. Hopeful for lemmy and fediverse future

Yeah I hauled ass this year. Logged out and will not go back. It went from decent for years to cumbersome garbage real quick.

Digg refugee, I've had a couple 10+ year accts until the doxxing. Then I started flipping accts on the regular to prevent that. Modded a few subs until the admin IP banned me for being critical of the direction they are going.

So now I'm here and to be frank a lot happier.

13 years. I'm done with the platform but not just because of their API bullshit.

My worldview and beliefs increasingly seem to fall just slightly outside what Reddit mods and admin find to be acceptable opinion.

I think I'm a pretty logical and reasonable human being, but apparently my beliefs about the way of the world are enough to get me continuously banned from the platform. Genuine 13 year account, then several newer ones. In the end I have just come to terms that Reddit isn't for me. They don't want me there and that's fine.

I deleted an 11 year old account.

I deleted my account but I think I was around 12 years

Ten-year club trophy. Logged out of Reddit as the public spat with Apollo was in full swing. Only visiting if a search leads me there.

Just made 10 years. Gatdamm I have 184,742 karma over there. I didn’t realize lol

I had various accounts over the years, but switched from Digg, which must've been pre-2010.

It's sad, but most communities felt crowded with people jumping down other people's throats, so I don't miss many

BE My account was I believe 11 years old when I deleted it right after all of the Apollo stuff went down. I used the app on my macs and mobile devices.

12 year Redditor here. Nevermore...

Here

Yep, a few days after the protests petered out. Nuked my account there. Life's been better since.

9y7m with 200k+ karma. I had used Reddit to look at porn for few years before that but finally made an account to ask some tech support question...

I got perma banned not quite a month ago, it was a pretty shitting thing I did so probably deserved it. Definitely helped me in jumping ship.

Represent

13 years one account, 9 years the other.

After the API enshittification clarion, I sat down for hours and munged every. single. damn. comment with a complaint about this.

THEN I deleted the accounts.

For now, Lemmy is merely potential, but shaping up. Mastodon is microblogging and is built around individuals promoting themselves, so it feels egotistical, but it's more mature than Lemmy so I lurk there for now too.

Ultimately I am a forum user, as a participant in a conversation. Looking forward to that again.

I probably started roughly in 2013. I was already pretty tired of the site. It's been a shell of what it was for quite a while. This was the last straw for me to go to the effort of finding something else.

Me, got on reddit in 2008 or 9.

Don’t know my exact age and can’t check as I post this because I refuse to visit reddit on my phone via anything but Apollo. But I’m pretty sure I’m 10+.

I do miss it. Once a month or so I’ll go peek at a couple smaller communities/game communities I was in that don’t have a Lemmy equivalent yet.

But I don’t comment anymore. I canceled my reddit premium the moment Apollo mentioned shut down. And I learned how to use the stronger mode of uBlock Origin to ensure they get as little from me as possible.

The site as I see it os shattered and barely functional. I can let what I’m used to shine through when I really want to by enabling certain domains to pass through uBlock Origin and NoScript. But tbh the shattered state is kind of fittingly metaphorical.

Still participate in a few communities sparingly. My activity is single points of what it used to be.

Hi

Here, but I still use Reddit for (the unfortunately many) communities that haven't migrated to Lemmy

8 years, deleted July 1. I kept a "throwaway" account to lurk when needed. Oh, the irony.

11 years for me

I think 10-12 years, I’m not sure, I’ve had a couple accounts over the years.

I do end up back now and then, so many searches lead back to Reddit. But I’m not scrolling anymore.

13-15 years old so. Went there during the Digg migration.

12 years on my account if I remember right. The account still exists, but I'm not logged in anymore - if I need to open reddit as part of a search result, it gets opened in a disposable container tab.

13 years... Kind of glad to be done with it but I miss some of the niche communities.

My reddit account is 14 years old. I can't say how I found Reddit but I know I was there before the Digg migration.

I was there 11 years and only used the Reddit is Fun app. Kind of surprised how easily I was able to just cut it out of my life.

8 years, fully done with reddit now.

10 years for me, just had enough

My reddit account is a little shy of 10 years, I think I might be at 8 or 9. I haven't really commented on Reddit for a while. I won't delete my account completely, at least not yet. There's some more subs on Reddit that haven't moved to Lemmy/KBin yet, and of course I could be the one to bring them over and create a copycat, but that's a bit of responsibility and work. I am kind of surprised how populated Lemmy is already though.

I left digg a long time ago and switched to reddit, account was almost 13 years old. Moving on the Lemmy for similar reason.
