Reddit

2007 here. Bye, ~~Felicia~~ Spez.

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.

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

Over 17 years, my cake day is December 2005. I deleted all my posts and comments and came to Lemmy. I haven’t deleted the account yet simply because I still pop in to read stuff occasionally, but I’m done posting over there.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Here I am. But I regularly deleted my Reddit account for privacy measures. As I’ll do with this one

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.

I think I joined around 2010-2011. Reddit feels soulless now, and I'm happy to use the fediverse instead.

15 years for me...

Yeah. I got tired of posting and a message saying "you cant post that for sake of our community" across almost every single subreddit. If I see that shit on lemmy I'll make sure to block the entire server that has lemmys doing that. Its one thing to can some bots. Its another to have game devs as subreddit mods block negative sentiment for example, or an overzealous mod push their views and just delete comments.

Its not like I'm out there posting some insane content, either. I tried posting a 15 second video of a funny bug of a dude stuck spinning around to crab rave and I couldn't even post that to the diablo 4 games subreddit.

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

16 year club here.

Only 2.5 years here, I'm the younger redditor

17 years. Part of some big Reddit history (rest in peace, I_RAPE_CATS)

Left when Apollo was kill.

I made my first account in 2008 and was a regular, originally using Alien Blue on iOS and then RIF when I migrated to Android. I haven't been back since RIF lost access. Fuck SPEZ and RIP 3rd party apps.

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

13 years old account. Purged my account yesterday

12 years. Only go to the website when a search sends me there. Was active daily before all this stuff.

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!

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!

Well over 10 years. Mostly comments rather than posts. Dropped out at the end of June and haven't been back. So far Lemmy and Mastodon have filled the gap.

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?

Part of the Digg Exodus, and now part of the Reddit Exodus. I was on Reddit before the Digg collapse but rarely.

I haven't fully left but I am spending less time there: no mobile use, limited moderation etc

I was introduced to Reddit 11 years ago in university. Daily user since. It felt like a real loss but not one I could talk to my usual support folks about. Even on Lemmy no one seems to want to acknowledge that this is a big shift for some of us and that we might still be kinda processing it.

Glad to be here. But yeh, it’s a shift after that much time.

11.5 years here. Have not cancelled yet but am pretty close to with my Lemmy usage increasing daily.

I signed up for Reddit in 2011. Was fairly active, had about 80,000 link karma and 300,000 comment karma.

Overwrote and deleted all of my comments and threw it all away after what happened. No regrets.

My cake day actually would have been next Wednesday.

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.

12 years here sounding off

Just over 9 years contributing and modding a few small places, now i'm basically a lurker. Screw Reddit.

The only real reddit drama that I personally was invested was r/animemes with Trap ban, so it's easy to ignore chat, follows, cryptocurency, Reddit becoming close sourced, Avatars (I set up one and change it 1 time when free was given and like ehh it's gamer thingy lookalike will use it).
I got my GPDR or how it called request, but didn't login till day 20 and you have 7 days to download and 30 to request link... well I requested link 3 times and still error.

12+years. Deleted my primary and secondary accounts. Haven't looked back.

I started on Digg in the summer/fall of 2005 right around the launching point of Diggnation; maybe 5-10 episodes in. A friend got me introduced to that. I was there until September of 2010 and then made the move to reddit as a part of the Great Digg Migration, and now find myself here on the fediverse

I've never been a very active contributor, but still felt connected and enjoyed seeing the conversations and links that people were sharing

Me!

13 years, cut and run when 3rd party app support was killed.

Me. Even paid for Premium for a few years too cuz I wanted to support the site
