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.

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.

Who can say, but I have largely left the site.

[–] totallynotarobot@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[–] vermyndax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yep, I left when it was announced Apollo was shutting down.

[–] abon999@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Around 8 years here. I really hate ads, so i just leave this shitty network.

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

had an 11 year old account. Deleted it

[–] 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.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

Welcome here!

[–] caballeroAguila@mujico.org 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My account had just turned 11 years old when all of this started. After RIF didn't let me log in any more I just quit reddint entkrelt. The RIF app itself is still installed in my phone though, as a memento. Even if reddit were to turn back on its decision, I don't think I'd want to go back at this point. Reddit is as good as dead for me.

I was there for about 15 years, shortly after launch, when there were only a handful of predefined subreddits. I would say "good times" but there was also shit like jailbait as a default sub...

[–] Thea_C@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

12 years for me. Havent gotten back on since finding out about Lemmy. Reddit fonally becoming fully enshittified lead me to the fediverse, which actually gives me HOPE. I'm very happy to be here. I'm even happy to see the right wingers here, because if they de-federate from traditional social media they'll ALSO BE BETTER OFF and hopefully stop being activley manipulated for 20 minutes.

[–] Bravebellows@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

Left when Apollo wasn't allowed to continue

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Close to 5-6 or so years if I count my banned account years.
Still on both fences but I will try to transition once sync for lemmy is ready.

[–] ChamrsDeluxe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

What's got 2 thumbs and is this guy?

THIS GUY!

[–] Romanmir@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

Yep, part of the 11-year club as well. I stopped browsing on mobile when Apollo died. I still browse on old.reddit in a browser, but I've found about 60%-70% of the content on here that I was looking for over there. So, not too shabby.

[–] scarcer@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] 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.

[–] tanknat64@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

10 years here and started with BaconReader. I had a long, 5-ish year hiatus for no particular reason from Reddit and started using it again in 2019 on the official app.

I just logged back into Reddit via RedReader to find communities to join here on Lemmy via Liftoff. I'm hoping more Redditors have enough of the BS and migrate here!

[–] grandkaiser@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

11 years. Had to use an extension to manually block Reddit to stop myself from automatically going to Reddit for the first two months.

[–] myusernameisokay@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] 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

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Reporting for duty, sir!

[–] 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

[–] We1chy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ben914@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

14 years for me.

[–] SoupyHappenstance@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I was there for nearly fifteen years. Been looking for an excuse to dump Reddit for a couple years now, ever since lockdown when I got in the habit of checking Reddit a dozen times a day.

[–] Pandantic@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I was at about 12 when I left

[–] spiffy_spaceman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] 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.
