Reddit

16 years here. Haven't gone there since Sync shut down (except for tonight to see how old my account is)

14-year club represent.

Hey. About 12 years and I've never used reddit without something like RES on the browser, Sync on Android or Apollo on iOS.

12 years but honestly, I am glad the kerfuffle led me to Lemmy as well as other places I didn't know about. It seems there are many excellent alternatives who take the culture if their place seriously, which reddit never did. I get much more of a coffee shop discussion feel here.

11 years here, nuked my account from low orbit once sync stopped working. Shit is dumb, but I survived Digg, Slashdot, and all that shit. Love what I'm seeing on Lemmy.

In that camp! 10 year old reddit account. Left before the change and haven't looked back. Like the vibe here too much.

15 years here and I only go when I need to for a link that provides an answer for my job.

15 years for me. Joined Reddit right when I got out of high school… crazy to think about.

I jumped ship when the protests began. Catering to shareholders will move where the buck stops and so far the whole thing has been horribly mismanaged.

I'm not sure how old my account was before I deleted it, but it was 12+ years.

10 years checking in. Deleted the account after API changes. It had been on decline for a long time when advertisers and astroturfers started gaming the content.

The niche subs were not much affected and kept me around - the passion and quality and expertise were refreshingly genuine.

I starting using Reddit in 2010 or so when I was going through health issues and was looking for information. I became very active on Reddit over the years, occasionally helping to mod a couple of communities. I am not a hugely "online" person, but I loved Reddit as a source of information and advice from actual real people. Particularly for those of us living with chronic health conditions, Reddit in particular was hugely important.

But I don't use Reddit anymore. The whole API fiasco was the last straw for me, and I also just didn't see it remaining a vibrant place full of valuable information. So I deleted my accounts and left. Haven't been back since.

I am

I had 16 years.

Me. I was either 10 years or very close to it. The loss of Relay was one thing, but the general douchebaggery that followed was the end for me.

10 plus years, deleted the entire account the day they killed third party apps. Never looked back once.

15 years. I only visit occasionally now because with the exodus my favorite subs are a shadow of their former selves.

here here

13 years. Found Reddit from visiting Popurls after ditching Digg, after leaving Catch.

No, I'm Spartacus!

Somewhere around 12-13 years here. Moved here for better content and a functional app.

17 years. I was never very active in commenting or posting, but quite addicted to reading and voting. But every good thing comes to an end, and I've known for some time that something this useful and interesting would eventually draw the attention of greedy minds (which happened awhile ago) and that they would eventually try to limit access to increase their profits (which just happened). So now it's time to move on. I'm doing this gradually, but it will happen.

10 years overall for me. I still browse some niche subreddits by RSS only and no longer comment or vote.

14 years primary account, 11 years alt. Mod in several >1 million communities.

Deleted everything, replaced my comments (>15k total) and posts (>500, including announcements on subs moderated) with a message stating my reasons, and then deleted both accounts. Plus 4 alts I sparsely used, between 3-8 years old.

13 years. Deleted my account but forgot the stuff I had saved ☹️

I was part of the great Digg migration. I won't say that I've sworn off Reddit completely, but I will say that I start here on Lemmy. The volume of content on Reddit is still so huge compared to Lemmy that it is likely to take a lot longer than the mass switch that I was sort of hoping for away from Reddit.

15 years for me...

13 years old account. Purged my account yesterday

Trying to let go, but the transition is a little hard. Still, 12 years over there.

Only 2.5 years here, I'm the younger redditor

12 years for my primary account, 11 years for my "other" one. Like many at the time, came over during the Digg meltdown. Just before the API went to paid, used a tool to delete my 15,000+ posts/comments. Deleted both accounts in early July. Used Teddit a bit to still follow one or two subreddits, but now that has stopped working. Unless it pops up in a search, I doubt I will ever visit again. RIP.

And my blanket!

I'm one ~70k karma and 11 years. Originally landed on the site at the peak of f7u12

16 year club here.

16 years and one month on my main. Now onto my third lemmy server. Hope things settle here as it has a little bit of that early days of the Internet magic.

13 years here. Search results only but even that is increasingly useless with so many folks deleting ALL their historical activity. Loving the fediverse!

11 years. I still check in on old.reddit, but I don't post or submit anymore. Some of my old subs still go on as if nothing ever happened.

11yrs on reddit. Been here a month.

I joined in 2011 and left as soon as Spez got caught trying to accuse Christian Selig of blackmail. I didn't want to help someone so clearly divorced from any reasonable standard of ethics make money

450k comment karma; I check twice a day and it looks like it's gone down hill. Shits just crypto spam and UFO bullshit now. What's the deal with the giant hard on for UFOs? If Trump didn't blab the second he found out then that should be proof enough for everyone.

13+ years here, haven't been back since the API debacle happened and my favorite app Sync went under.

Pretty excited though since I'm new here and just read that Sync is coming back as a Lemmy app soon!

I've been a redditor for as long as I can remember, decided I had enough mid June. Sad to see what has become of the site. Lemmy has its quirks but it is a far better community.

Pity there are members here that still treat this place like it's reddit. Sensitive, hungry for validation, treating new posters like they ain't shit.. aye bro?
