Reddit

Creeping towards 13 years on my main. When rif stopped working I was done. Can't believe how shitty they've been over there.

12 years but honestly, I am glad the kerfuffle led me to Lemmy as well as other places I didn't know about. It seems there are many excellent alternatives who take the culture if their place seriously, which reddit never did. I get much more of a coffee shop discussion feel here.

12 years. Haven't browsed Reddit since the blackout. Still end up there sometimes from search results, but I no longer participate. Thinking about hosting my own Lemmy instance.

I had been there since 2010, I didn't even think twice about leaving.

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.

No, I'm Spartacus!

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

I starting using Reddit in 2010 or so when I was going through health issues and was looking for information. I became very active on Reddit over the years, occasionally helping to mod a couple of communities. I am not a hugely "online" person, but I loved Reddit as a source of information and advice from actual real people. Particularly for those of us living with chronic health conditions, Reddit in particular was hugely important.

But I don't use Reddit anymore. The whole API fiasco was the last straw for me, and I also just didn't see it remaining a vibrant place full of valuable information. So I deleted my accounts and left. Haven't been back since.

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.

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

I had 16 years.

15 years for me. Joined Reddit right when I got out of high school… crazy to think about.

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.

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.

2007 here. Bye, ~~Felicia~~ Spez.

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.

I am

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

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

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.

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

15 years for me...

13 years old account. Purged my account yesterday

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.

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

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.

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

I was an 11 year redditor that now runs his own Lemmy instance.

16 year club here.

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

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.

Only 2.5 years here, I'm the younger redditor

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.

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'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?

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

I joined in 2011 and left as soon as Spez got caught trying to accuse Christian Selig of blackmail. I didn't want to help someone so clearly divorced from any reasonable standard of ethics make money

11yrs on reddit. Been here a month.

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.

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

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.
