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

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've deleted multiple accounts over the years trying to leave Reddit. All my accounts are now gone and I only visit of an Internet search brings me to the site.
Yo.
I put in something like 11 years. It's kong enough to understand that platforms can and will die in 10+ years.
Present. My oldest account just had it's 13th cake day.
My account is 13, but lurked a bit before that. Never installed the official app. Used RES for desktop, and Boost for mobile.
My 12th Cake Day was last week, which is how I discovered I had the Reddit app still installed on a test device that was my daily-driver a few years ago
12 year old Reddit account here. Though, for every end there is a new beginning. Looking forward to seeing how Lemmy continues to grow. 🙂
14 years here. Really optimistic for lemmy given how good the app story has become so fast. Hoping the user base keeps growing so that more niche communities hit a critical mass here.
I don't know. How long ago was 2015? ... Shit I'm old.
Present, 11 year old account when I left. Not "deleted" because I'm lazy, but certainly abandoned.

I was on Reddit for over 5 years
10 years, 120k karma
The changes would have had no immediate affect on me, but it’s the mods that made the place useable. I just can’t see it working after alienating so many of the people wrangling content
However I also expected to be next on the chopping block. I prefer to use a web browser and the constant nag to use the app was getting irritating, and they seemed to be eating away at the old UI to push us to the fiasco that replaced it (it probably doesn’t help that I use Safari on iPad and their attempt to get fancy is less compatible)
I was at about 12 when I left
12 years here sounding off
Not quite there yet, but 8 years and left with Sync.
12 years, deleted my account and overwrote all posts and comments I could before I did so.

Digg refugee, so my reddit account is 13 years old.
I was there since 2010, then I got banned for getting into spats with fascists. Fuck’em all. Reddit sucks. Free speech my ass.
Exactly 10 years. Haven't visited Reddit since mid-june. I miss it? Yeah, but fuck Spez
Yep, I left when it was announced Apollo was shutting down.
My cake day was July 11 2011 so almost 12 years to the day when I left.
Left when Apollo wasn't allowed to continue
I just googled it. Reddit was made in 2005. That means I must've started using it in 2007 or 8.
There since 2009. That's about when I started mainlining the internet. Glad to watch it burn here with all of you. Cheers!
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.
I think I had 9, but a year or two of lurking prior.
Me, the modding had become a real quagmire.
11 year old reddit account deleted, plus an anon alt for gaming stuff.
I had no interest in using reddit without Apollo anyway, but the way they treated Selig and the other devs was just mind blowing. The treatment of mods after I'd already deleted everything just made me more sure I'd made the right decision.
had an 11 year old account. Deleted it
7 years, still there to moderate because only half of the community wanted to leave. But that's it, no more frontpage for me.
10+ years, I had really started to generate content the last couple years, and will now forever be at 49.5k karma. I even used the shitty app, but left for good when spez started talking about admiring musk. He's an unredeemable prick.
