Reddit

10+, I left it without looking back. It is inconvenient and I miss few people there, but.. no.

A bit over ten years, left on the eve of the big change. Haven't been back. Don't miss it.

Thanks to lemmy being broken every now and then, I can do stuff sometimes, which is nice.

12 years. Not going back. Way better here..

16 years. No RIF equates to no Reddit for the most part for me. Haven't really 'left' formally or permanently, but spend more time here day to day now, its almost the same pattern for how Digg just kind of evaporated from use off over a few weeks as I used Reddit more and more daily.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Left when Apollo was kill.

Only 2.5 years here, I'm the younger redditor

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.

/waves_hand

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

13 years old account. Purged my account yesterday

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

Rolling up on my 10th year (September). There are some subs where I haven't been able to find an equivalent community anywhere else, so I have an RSS feed pulling in posts from those places, but Lemmy and Tildes are covering the bulk of it for me.

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!

15 years for me...

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

15 years, reddit gold charter member, Secret Santa, all that stuff. And longer than 15 really, if you count the browsing I did before I made my account (I remember before subreddits were even a thing, when reddit was literally just a front page).

Still visit on desktop sometimes because unfortunately some people will probably never leave and there are communities that are useful to me that haven't migrated. Same with with Twitter, which is frustrating to no end because they spend half of their time complaining about the site but never actually fucking leave.

My mobile usage is completely gone though. I used RIF for over a decade, I'm not using anything else.

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.

16 year club here.

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

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

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

I am

I'm around 11 years and a few hundred thousand karma. At this point I use reddit on desktop for a couple of specific communities that haven't made it over here.

All my mobile / time killing stuff has moved to lemmy.

It mostly just annoys the crap out of me, honestly. Glad to be in a cool new place but goddammit reddit, you didn't have to do this crap.

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.

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.

No, I'm Spartacus!

13 Years, 300k+ karma. Haven't been on reddit since Jun 30th, and I don't plan on ever going back.

Ever since "new reddit", I only ever used old.reddit with RES. The writing is on the wall, and old.reddit will soon be on the chopping block too.

Fuck the enshitification of reddit.

12 years here sounding off

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

And my blanket!

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.

16 years.

Mostly lurked since 2009, but always had an account so I could vote. Started commenting and posting more over time, to the point it was too much, having pointless internet arguments as a substitute for doomscrolling. So when I got the first notification about the API changes in RiF, decided it was time to cut the cord. I'd already mostly come around to the conclusion that I'd been wasting my time there, but I had a notion that it was somehow OK because the place I'd chosen to waste it was somehow different and better in comparison to other social media. It wasn't that I wanted to get on a boycott bandwagon. But the API decision, the thinly veiled intent of their ridiculous pricing, and their steadfastness in making no subsequent attempt to mitigate the changes whatsoever truly was the tipping point where I could no longer do the mental gymnastics required to con myself into wasting more time there.

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?

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