Reddit

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

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

13 years old account. Purged my account yesterday

And my blanket!

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.

15 years for me...

10 years. Quit the moment Bacon Reader lost API comms, did a data request and nuked my account. I've made a few accounts on Lemmy and Mastodon, set up an RSS feed - its a big change, but wonderful. Still want to sort out the Kbin piece, is it just an instance with only browser front-end?

16 year club here.

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.

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

here here

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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 had 16 years.

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

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, 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.

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 think i have the 13-year badge. I visit maybe a few times a week when there's nothing left to doomscroll on Lemmy. I was never really a huge contributor, in posts or comments, but now I'm purely a lurker and I spend maybe 15 or 30 minutes in a single sitting on the site instead of a few hours cumulatively throughout a given day.

With that said, the overall quality of content and discussion had been going downhill for years at this point, I just didn't have anywhere else to go that provided the same dopamine hit. Lemmy doesn't do it quite as well, but once the Reddit API controversy kicked up and a ton of people started actually using Lemmy, that helped give me a good reason to spend time with it since there was activity. I'm honestly not sure if Lemmy is the future but I'm willing to stay if it's a road to the future... and I'm willing to try out new platforms and communities before I find something that I feel fits me as well as Reddit did for so long.

I kind of miss 2010-2013ish era Reddit (minus the bacon/narwahls stuff which kind of felt forced to me), but hoping something like that comes along would probably be along the same lines as wishing I could get the same near magical feel and interaction out of IRC as I did in the mid to late 90s/early 2000s. These are one-and-done things. The next thing that elicits that kind of homey feeling will probably be something entirely new and not a clone of the OG thing.

12 years here sounding off

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.

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

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

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.

11yrs on reddit. Been here a month.

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

16 years.

i’m just over 10 years, i haven’t really used it since apollo shut down. i’ll browse a couple of subreddits from my pc every once in a while but haven’t made any posts or comments

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

I torched all my content. In hindsight I should’ve left a way for people to contact me in case I’d posted a solution to a problem. But it’s too late now.

I pretty much left right after the digg redesign which turned the site into a tabloid. More than a decade ago.

Approaching 11 years

Yes.

Just checked, apparently my first account is actually a bit over 10 years old. I haven't fully cut ties with reddit yet, but I'm interested in Lemmy, and participating a little.

I intend to be an annoying cunt on reddit constantly saying "Lemmy is better" whenever that statement can actually pass as true to a general audience. And I fully intend to violate the fuck out of the "you can't make a new account when we ban you"-rule if I end up getting banned for it.

Scrubbed and deleted a 12yr account and haven't been back.

11 years, and I really haven't missed it. Lemmy has been great (the 3 day no-poop guy was just as good as anything that was on reddit), the apps are getting better by the day, and Mastodon has easily filled the gaps for breaking news.

Yup, 11 or 12 on the account with this name, plus a few before that under a no longer extant account, and a few months without an account as a lurker before that.

Not quite 10, but close. I joined the site in 2014. Permanently deleted my account at the end of June.
