Reddit

16yrs, made an account before the Digg drama, migrated there after.

I’ve not been back since, other than friends linking to stuff there basically

I'm Spartacus.

13 years. I lurked a few years before creating an account. Been using Lemmy for the most part since the Apollo app shut down a month ago. I still append "reddit" to my searches though, so I occasionally end up there for older content.

Only 7 years for me, but long enough to hope they miss my traffic.

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.

12 years here, across two accounts. I nuked the last day that RIF was able to be used.

I only go back because of the Ukraine Subreddit. Once the war is over I will be done with that site.

The main page yesterday was almost all Bot spam from what I saw before jumping to war updates. It was really noticeable and only served to reinforce that I should be done over there. Random misspelled posts, or words that shouldn't be present, or even just totally mislabeled posts with 2k+ karma.

Noticing it made me pause and wonder just how bad is reddit now, and when will Elon buy it and rebrand it to Xeddit or something similar

11 years for me.

I joined reddit 2009, so I suppose 14 years. Back then I was more using Slashdot.

11 years here. Deleted all my posts (not that I was a crazy prolific poster, but it still took hours and hours with the tool running).

There's a few subs I mod that I actually care about on an alt, I just login to mod. But yeah after 12ish years I'm pretty done

And for the record, it was not my choice to keep these communites open, I was in the minority on the mod team that wanted to fully migrate.

Twelve years on reddit and just about as long using reddit is fun, but now I'm gone.

About 12 years, I was living in Rarotonga at the time and I was looking for something to replace my YouTube habit because data was herendously expensive and reddit was mostly text and images, it was fantastic

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

My oldest account is at 9 years 10 months at the moment. Was a lurker for a time before that too. I haven't deleted my accounts out of concern of my comments reappearing, but I've kept any interaction with that site at a minimum.

Most of the time, I just check to see if any comments resurfaced, or if I've got a love letter from the admins. Neither has happened so far, but I'm not sure it won't happen. Until then, I will keep scrubbing my accounts.

I don't see myself returning there. I've lost any desire to do so, and my old, yet scrubbed accounts will serve as a reminder never to interact with that site ever again. Peek, if I must, but never interact.

I was in the 13 year club, and most of that was using RIF.

16 years. Fuck /u/spez

14 year old here. I've been back a few times to run Power Delete Suite to modify my existing comments, then delete them. Not sure what's happening, but the above is "a few times" as I checked once and sure enough some of my deleted comments were reappearing on that damned site!

I've also deleted all saved comments, etc.

I was right at the 10 year mark myself. I only use it now when a thread comes up in a search, I don't ever go there just for the sake of it anymore.

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

16 years there. Once Boost stopped working I got off the site and migrated here. I've read threads that come up in Google searches, and looked at some specialty subs since, but nothing longer than 5 minutes every few days.

I used reddit for more than 12 years and I deleted my most recent account and left cold turkey.

Sup.

+1 here. I used the same account for over a decade, then left the site when RiF died.

Enshittification strikes again. It was only a matter of time, really. Reddit ownership is neither smart nor innovative. It's no longer a site for users, it's a platform for advertisers.

12 years. Migrated to Reddit when Digg collapsed. Reddit slowly changed over the last 4 years or so, for the worse, even before the recent shenanigans. Glad to be here.

I made my first account in 2007. I ended up deleting it before long but I made another in 2009, which I deleted a couple of weeks ago (after manually deleting every comment and post I had ever made).

Officially, I had just reached the 14-year club.

Had my account for 13 years and was a lurker for a while prior to that.

I thought I might miss Reddit but I really don't. Only issue is trying to find info on random things I can't find anywhere else.

14 years. Mostly on RIF. Deleted my account on the last day. Enjoying it here. Many thanks to all of you!

Been on Reddit for just a touch over ten years. Still visit it not logged in on a forked Reddit app with ad/telemetry content disabled, but refuse to engage content whatsoever.

I had been lurking since ~2011. Probably racked up around 15 comments total, but it was a near-daily visit.

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

13 years here

9.5ish here

At least 10 years....won't go and check. I'm working hard to get the hang of the fediverse and being patient while it grows up. I'll check a few niche subjects on Reddit but without a phone app my usage is down like 98%. Not posting or voting. Obligatory fuck /u/spez. What a dumbass maneuver he pulled...so many other choices. Can't wait for him to go down in flames....

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).

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.

I think u/jackcooper made it to 10? I was on 2-3 years before making an account

Yo. ✋

Raises hand 11 years. I too switched to Reddit when digg went south.

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.

Me

I did.

Honestly Lemmy isn't proving particularly great yet; most of the top posts are from terminally-online agenda posters banging the same identity politics drum I couldn't escape on Reddit.

I think the main reason is the smaller communities here haven't reached critical mass yet. I'm not going back to Reddit, though, because I produced a lot of content for them over the years and they repaid me with a terrible user experience and endless adverts.

Hopefully it'll get better here. If not, maybe something else will pop up. Or I can just find an extra hobby.
