Reddit

11 years here

12 years here, started using it regularly after they killed Google reader.

I don’t know how long I was on Reddit… more than 8 years because it was before my first kid was born. Probably at least ten. Not signing in to check though.

Had an account since 2011. Deleted it mid July. Haven’t logged in once. I miss the metalcore community but that’s about it.

14 years with a reddit account, I lurked for a couple years before that. I lurked on Digg from 05-07 before a nerdy friend introduced me to Reddit. I've never moderated, I mostly read and contribute to communities about local news or communities relevant to my hobbies.

Approaching 11 years

12 here, account still exists so i can continue to delete my old posts every time they restore them

I think I hit my 12 year cake day shortly before leaving for good, and that wasn't my first account.

🙋‍♂️

Me. Around 10-11 year account. It sucks since Reddit has been my landing page ever since joining. It really hurts that greed destroyed a good thing we have there.

But I feel that lemmy has something better to offer.

Two accounts. One I used to moderate that I made in 2009, and my other account was made about 10 years ago.

Used RIF on mobile and RES on desktop.

Now I use neither, deleted my moderator account and just left my more personal account to rot. (Don't want to delete everything on that one just yet).

12 year club, left when Apollo died, so far haven’t gone back.

Joined Reddit in 2011 when my wife introduced me to it (and RiF).

Left when the API drama started and was glad when I found feddit.de (later switched to sh.itjust.works).

Have since deleted my reddit account and only browse it when I can't find any other source for a technical problem/solution.

Got my first Reddit account in 2012 (which unfortunately was hacked in 2020 and got shut down). So I have used Reddit for 11 years at this point. I have been sick of the direction Reddit is going for a while, and when I realized Lemmy had started seeing some traffic I thought it was time to give this place a shot. So far Lemmy feels a bit like Reddit used to, which isn't a bad thing.

12 years here, quit reddit.

Think I'm in the teens and stopped using Reddit

Me

Yo. ✋

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

12 years.

170k karma. Nuked my post history a month ago. I'll occasionally look at reddit on my work desktop but I'm absolutely not installing the app

I've been on Reddit since 2012, but I haven't quite quit Reddit completely. It fills the same role as twitter now, where I go there to interact with specific communities but never scroll through the front page any more.

11-12 years here. I wasnt there at the beginning, but I sure as hell saw some of the "greatest hits" of fuckery.

✋ 15ish years. Left after Reddit confirmed they wouldn't be changing the policy

12 almost 13 years, discovered it just before the digg Exodus. Didn't know digg, never used Twitter, not much Facebook presence. Before Reddit it was gamefaqs, icanhascheeseburger Ctrl alt del and wimp. Now it's gamefaqs steam and Lemmy.

Made my account in 2011. I'm not deleting, but I've completely stopped using it outside of the occasional google search that points to a Reddit thread. Lemmy is a legitimate and viable alternative to Reddit at this point, and apps like Wefwef are leagues better than the official reddit app

I haven't full left Reddit. Just using it less as i feel my way around the different alternatives. Some groups forums exist, other go by other names...Just a question of finding them.

I started using reddit during the digg migration. I lurked, replied to stuff and tried to upvote sanity in technical threads occasionally.

A year or so ago during a work trip to another continent I found that my account had been banned for "violation of the content policy". I worked their process to try and figure out why, but the replies were totally vague and either bot like or possibly written by someone with english as a second language.

It turned out that at the point I was banned I hadn't actually posted anything in over a year, so I really didn't have anything to go off. It is still a total mystery to me. I created a new account ( which I know they could consider ban evasion ) so I could copy my subscribed subreddits over and I was just lurking for the last year or so until the noise from their API changes pointed me at all the current alternatives. So here I am checking out the alternatives.

I made it about 12 years or so on Reddit. There are days where I do miss the place, but Kbin and Tumblr have been quite adequate replacements, I find.

I also feel like both sites are much friendlier as a general rule.

I’m old hat. I joined during the Digg vs Reddit wars of the early 2000s. Glad to see a new contender on the block.

A bit over 10 years for me. Haven't looked back. That shit was rough.

I was an active Digger and Redditor in 2006-7 then migrated fully to Reddit post digg-tastrophy. I’ve honestly found it hard to stay away from Reddit but the existence of Lemmy world and the fact that I just discovered they took Aaron Schwartz off the list of cofounders is strengthening my resolve. Thank you all for being here.

Edited to add - I have no intention of returning to Reddit. The average person has precious little they can do to change the tides of fortune, but one of them is to consistently vote with their wallet. In this case, our attention is filling their wallet, so I remove my attention and clicks.

I can't check right now, but I know for certain I had at least 13 years

I started using reddit in 2011, I'm not a power user or major contributor by any means. But I'm a lonely person who got joy out of my small niche communities, and I fear those are the spaces that will take the longest to reappear on lemmy, especially because I have no interest in modding or starting any of them myself. I haven't actually subscribed to any communities on lemmy yet, I'm waiting for the sync app to be ready so things will be more like I'm used to using (aka easier) and then I'll log into old reddit on my computer, write down all the subreddits I'm subscribed to, and begin to see which ones exist on the different lemmy instances and start to make this place feel more like my lil internet home. I liked tithe reddit experience more when I first started using it, and I'm excited for lemmy to kind of have that feeling again, since it's new and small still.

I deleted my account of 17 years

11+ years, letting it go. This is my home now. Man I just wanted to lol at memes and look at tits and now I have ads every 3 posts. 1 of those three always seems to be a repost too, it got out of hand

10+ years here, not sure how long because I deleted my account.

I deleted it towards the end of June, when Christian announced Apollo was closing down, and how Spez fucked him by twisting his comments.

I was very active in *Nix subs, like Linux, Ubuntu, elementaryOS, helping users. I was also active in the macOS patching subs (mojave / Catalina / OpenCore legacy), with guides and news. So there's definitely some substance lost by me deleting all my posts / comments. Do I care? Not really.

Redditor for ten years. Still have my account but just waiting for the right time to delete the content and just let it sit idle.

Me!

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.
