Reddit

Only 2.5 years here, I'm the younger redditor

I was 12+ years and browsed almost exclusively on mobile through RIF. I switched over to Lemmy and I'm liking it so far.

12 years (Dec 2010), 113000 comment karma, Reddit premium (still 10 months of that remaining apparently).

Cancelled my premium subscription, and I rarely visit the site anymore (usually just to gawk at the lack of any content). I was a large contributor to tech support and networking subs including /r/techsupport and /r/homenetworking. Avid user of old.reddit.com and RES.

Needless to say, I'm sad that we needed to find a new home, though, I get it. I'm not mad at anyone specific about it, beyond /u/spez. And I'm firmly invested in to Lemmy.

Fuck spez.

16 year club here.

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

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.

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'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?

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

I came over with the mass Digg exodus. Used RIF as long as I can remember. Don't go there anymore.

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

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

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

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

Me!

Me

I used reddit for more than 12 years and I deleted my most recent account and left cold turkey.

Lurked reddit since 2006 (a year after it was founded); joined in 2008.

Leaving wasn't easy. Quitting tobacco was less difficult. But fuck 'em. I'm done.

About 14 years or so for me. Was starting to get a bit bored of that place anyway. I've been enjoying Lemmy a lot so far.

Two accounts. One I used to moderate that I made in 2009, and my other account was made about 10 years ago.

Used RIF on mobile and RES on desktop.

Now I use neither, deleted my moderator account and just left my more personal account to rot. (Don't want to delete everything on that one just yet).

I think u/jackcooper made it to 10? I was on 2-3 years before making an account

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.

I haven't full left Reddit. Just using it less as i feel my way around the different alternatives. Some groups forums exist, other go by other names...Just a question of finding them.

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

I made it about 12 years or so on Reddit. There are days where I do miss the place, but Kbin and Tumblr have been quite adequate replacements, I find.

I also feel like both sites are much friendlier as a general rule.

13 years on Reddit.

I think I hit my 12 year cake day shortly before leaving for good, and that wasn't my first account.

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

11 years - RIF on mobile and Apollo on ipad so lost access on both. Didn't bother deleting my account as I mostly lurked. Weekend of 1st-2nd July was rough and then I was surprised how little I missed my daily scrolling. Lemmy has enough news, memes and gaming to fill the gap.

🙋‍♂️

12 year club, left when Apollo died, so far haven’t gone back.

Yep. Since 2011. Fucking bye.

15 year account and happy with Lemmy here. Only going back to Reddit once in a while to make sure all my comments remain deleted.

9.5ish here

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

Approaching 11 years

9 years and 9 months currently.

'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.

Me. Around 10-11 year account. It sucks since Reddit has been my landing page ever since joining. It really hurts that greed destroyed a good thing we have there.

But I feel that lemmy has something better to offer.

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.

11 years here
