I was a couple months away from my 10th cake day, but I'd been lurking for a few years before actually registering.

That's it.

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.

12 years. Shredded it when bacronreader stopped.
Adding my hand 12+ years
Digg poweruser, joined reddit in the digg exodus, spent many years pissing off redditors through various projects, ShitRedditSays, HailCorporate, GamingCirclejerk, the fun ones come and go in waves of interest as the zeitgeist moves along.
Been on lemmy for 3 years already now.
Yup, when Joey stopped working I tried the Reddit app for a few days, but it was just awful.
So here I am.
I'm trying to remember. I know I had an app for it way back when I had an iPod touch, probably when I had the 3rd gen one.
Can't remember what year it was, but alien blue was still its own thing before it got bought out. I wanna say 12ish years? Can't remember for sure, but pretty sure I'm over 10.
I had just had my eleventh cake day
I used Reddit since 2012 until spez destroyed third party clients
I joined in early 2012. In 2015 I became a mod on an active created by a friend for our EDM scene in a fairly major city. I had a Google calendar linked to FB event pages and added events multiple times a week and also helped mod a sub for a record label out of said city with now some widely known national artists. I’ve since moved states and stopped using Reddit after the blackout/API stuff. I miss it.
I was on there for 10 years. Fuck Steve Huffman.
8 Years myself
My Reddit account was 2013 so just about 10 years this month when I left.
Yep was there 12-13 years and haven't been back since sync stopped working.
Represent
11
About 13 years of daily use for me, I haven't been back since the blackout started.
11 years. Left and didn't look back.
12 years for me, bye bye! I really don't miss it much.
17 years. Probably the only site other than Google I've visited almost every day since then. It's extremely depressing to lose Reddit after all that time. But I'm enjoying Lemmy, and hoping we can grow it Digg-exodus-style.
14 years and they're welcome to it
12 years here. It's out my social media rotation.
12-13ish years. Deleted at start of June protests because I didn't expect reddit to budge at all
Been on Reddit since 2011 while my main account is only 9 years old. Regardless, Lemmy is now my go-to except for smaller subreddits that haven't fully migrated yet. That said, I've noticed more and more activity in those lemmy communities so I have high hopes the trend continues!
15 year Reddit user. Had my account banned for suggesting that a pedophile should have been taken out behind a building and shot. Up until that point, I hadn't even had so much as a suspension. It started with being banned from subs I never visited or commented in. I remember I had gotten into an argument with a mod and was accused of racism. To prove my racism, they used the "N word count bot", which came up with zero uses of the word in the entire 15 years I was on Reddit, which I think hurt the other person's feelings. His account had multiple uses. I really didn't think much of it and left Reddit alone for a couple of days due to being busy with work. When I went to log back in, I saw that I had been suspended for 30 days, and a week after that, I was permanently banned. Personally, think a lot of it had to do with my being subscribed and was active in some subs that were in direct contrast to Reddit's majority political ideology. I was told there are ways around a Reddit ban but I don't care enough to put in that much work to make another account.
13 years. Don't even notice it, loving kbin.social. hoping it gets app support soon!
👋
13 years. Adios.
12 years!
Joined in January, 2013 so just over 10 years. Ialmost exclusively lurked though.
11 years. Gun was already aimed as his foot, but the Spez went and pulled the trigger. Happy to be off reddit now.
11+ years here. Deleted and haven't looked back. I miss my crafting and witchy communities but I don't regret leaving.
11 years haven't been back since boost died
All in all nearly 10 year though my last account is 7+ years old and this was the time I actually used the site and didn't just lurk. My last account isn't deleted, I just don't use it anymore. Lemmy at first seemed more complicated, but I stayed for the communication culture and the fediverse concept . I'd love to see lemmy grow to a reddit successor but I doubt it will get this big. Then again I wonder if this isn't for the positive. Also it is really refreshing not to be suffocated under rage- and clickbait by some malicious algorithm.
I was close, 9 years.
+1 here.
I used the official Reddit app for some time before switching between Apollo and Joey (depending on whether I had an iPhone at the time or an Android).
I am one. I had six Reddit accounts, a couple were throwaways. I started at Slashdot then Digg then Reddit. I’ve since deleted all my most popular posts (that caused PMs on the regular) then deleted the accounts afterwards.
I still view content on there but with no account using AdGuard and Sink It (removes Reddits BS “download app” prompts). I also browse incognito to not leave behind tracking cookies.
I’ve made sure I’m worthless traffic to them for the content that Lemmy doesn’t have.
Yo
14 years. Reddit has been shit for a while tho.
12 years. Wiped my account and deleted it. Even the porn alt
