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.

11 years. I still check in on old.reddit, but I don't post or submit anymore. Some of my old subs still go on as if nothing ever happened.

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.

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

12 years here. Couldn't stand any more bs.

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.

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

13 years old account. Purged my account yesterday

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.

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

15 years for me...

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.

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.

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.

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

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

16 year club here.

Only 2.5 years here, I'm the younger redditor

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

Part of the Digg Exodus, and now part of the Reddit Exodus. I was on Reddit before the Digg collapse but rarely.

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

Left when Apollo was kill.

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?

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.

And my blanket!

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

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

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.

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.

Yeah around 10 years here

11 years. Was using Apollo, now on Voyager! It’s like nothing has changed, except fewer bots.

The only real reddit drama that I personally was invested was r/animemes with Trap ban, so it's easy to ignore chat, follows, cryptocurency, Reddit becoming close sourced, Avatars (I set up one and change it 1 time when free was given and like ehh it's gamer thingy lookalike will use it).
I got my GPDR or how it called request, but didn't login till day 20 and you have 7 days to download and 30 to request link... well I requested link 3 times and still error.

13 years on Reddit.

I started on Digg in the summer/fall of 2005 right around the launching point of Diggnation; maybe 5-10 episodes in. A friend got me introduced to that. I was there until September of 2010 and then made the move to reddit as a part of the Great Digg Migration, and now find myself here on the fediverse

I've never been a very active contributor, but still felt connected and enjoyed seeing the conversations and links that people were sharing

Me!

12+years. Deleted my primary and secondary accounts. Haven't looked back.

Yep. Since 2011. Fucking bye.

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.

Made my account in 2011. I'm not deleting, but I've completely stopped using it outside of the occasional google search that points to a Reddit thread. Lemmy is a legitimate and viable alternative to Reddit at this point, and apps like Wefwef are leagues better than the official reddit app

'ello there! I have my 11 year badge on my primary reddit account. I haven't bothered to go back to reddit, and I don't really have much desire. I'm splitting my time pretty evenly between Lemmy and Squabbles.

I also appreciate that neither of these communities have been completely co-opted by psycho alt-right nutjobs like Voat was.

edit: my biggest regret was that I was something like 12k comment karma away from making it to centuryclub :( that was kind of a big deal as a casual poster who usually showed up to threads way too late.
