News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
 

I was just browsing a thread on c/nfl looking for new mods. There were multiple 12+ year Redditors there offering to help.

Got me wondering. There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?

Edit: I didn't expect this post to be as poignant as it became. There are so many of you... I can't reply to everyone. I'm an 11 year user and have modded something like 150 subs over the years. I'm really sad too, but I'm finding that lemmy has most of the content I'm looking for, just needs more comments.

The API was a big blow, but removing awards on past posts and deleting coin balances is really dumb.

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

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

[โ€“] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

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

[โ€“] ensignrolaren@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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).

[โ€“] Zoness@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] MIDIthrKID@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

12 year club. Fuck spez.

[โ€“] Minted@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[โ€“] Thulcander@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] Ginrai@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Well over 10 years. About 4 years ago found myself missing the "old" Reddit experience, lighthearted, tons of memes, silly, and interesting. Feels more like that on Lemmy.

[โ€“] willeypete23@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

I joined before Obama was president so that's checks calendar 15+ years.

I was on Reddit for over 5 years

[โ€“] waterbogan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Close to ten, but I didnt leave, I got permabanned, I still dont know why

[โ€“] spiffy_spaceman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I was there for at least 10 years. Not going back.

[โ€“] Tetra@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

[โ€“] elfahbeht@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

My longest running account will be 10 years old in December.

[โ€“] digitalgadget@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Over 10. I left for Voat, then it died, then I didn't come back for a long time. Started enjoying it again and now I'm done.

[โ€“] We1chy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Me. Not quite 10 years, but close at 9 and some months.

[โ€“] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
[โ€“] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?

It's me. I'm in this picture

[โ€“] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I forget what year it happened in but I started reddit with the Digg migration.

[โ€“] dhork@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Reporting for duty, sir!

Joined in 2009. Pretty much never browse Reddit anymore other than specific scenarios.

[โ€“] criticon@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

9 years on my last account. About 13 or 14 years on my first one that was doxxing me

[โ€“] scarcer@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

12 or 13 years? Don't really remember or care!

[โ€“] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

16 years for me. They took away the app I preferred (joey) so I went somewhere else.

[โ€“] ChamrsDeluxe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

What's got 2 thumbs and is this guy?

THIS GUY!

[โ€“] BellaDonna@mujico.org 2 points 2 years ago

Almost 18 years for me, I left Digg for Reddit over the HD DVD thing. It was really hard to leave.

[โ€“] AvrgJoe@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I'm a 10 yearer. Shame, I loved Rif.

[โ€“] tacosplease@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure I was at 11 years. Not going back to check

[โ€“] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

had an 11 year old account. Deleted it

[โ€“] drdabbles@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

My oldest account is just under 14 years old. I only visit to check on the status of my data download, and check on one sub once a month.

[โ€“] ganksy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

There since 2009. That's about when I started mainlining the internet. Glad to watch it burn here with all of you. Cheers!

[โ€“] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I started using around 2013, a guy in my math class showed me the site, and I hadn't taken a single day off until a couple of days after the r*ddit ama. Now I will live and die on Lemmy

[โ€“] Ricaz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

My account is 13, but lurked a bit before that. Never installed the official app. Used RES for desktop, and Boost for mobile.

[โ€“] Rusky_900@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

Not sure how long exactly, but probably more than 10 years. And I'm gone!

[โ€“] kaotic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

14 year account, I'm done with reddit.
