Late to the party on this post, but I was a 14 year user. I was ready for a change as the communities I had subscribed to had stayed pretty static and was grateful for a reason to go and find an alternative. I spend less time doom scrolling as I have not yet installed an app on my phone and I think I may keep it that way.

Thanks to all of you for being here and making this a vibrant place.

15+ years for me. Idon't miss it as much as I thought I would.

'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.

Yep. Since 2011. Fucking bye.

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

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

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.

9.5ish here

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 made my first account in 2007. I ended up deleting it before long but I made another in 2009, which I deleted a couple of weeks ago (after manually deleting every comment and post I had ever made).

Officially, I had just reached the 14-year club.

14 years. Mostly on RIF. Deleted my account on the last day. Enjoying it here. Many thanks to all of you!

I was right at the 10 year mark myself. I only use it now when a thread comes up in a search, I don't ever go there just for the sake of it anymore.

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

Been on Reddit for just a touch over ten years. Still visit it not logged in on a forked Reddit app with ad/telemetry content disabled, but refuse to engage content whatsoever.

Twelve years on reddit and just about as long using reddit is fun, but now I'm gone.

11 years here. Deleted all my posts (not that I was a crazy prolific poster, but it still took hours and hours with the tool running).

✋ 15ish years. Left after Reddit confirmed they wouldn't be changing the policy

14 year old here. I've been back a few times to run Power Delete Suite to modify my existing comments, then delete them. Not sure what's happening, but the above is "a few times" as I checked once and sure enough some of my deleted comments were reappearing on that damned site!

I've also deleted all saved comments, etc.

I had been lurking since ~2011. Probably racked up around 15 comments total, but it was a near-daily visit.

12 years here, across two accounts. I nuked the last day that RIF was able to be used.

I only go back because of the Ukraine Subreddit. Once the war is over I will be done with that site.

The main page yesterday was almost all Bot spam from what I saw before jumping to war updates. It was really noticeable and only served to reinforce that I should be done over there. Random misspelled posts, or words that shouldn't be present, or even just totally mislabeled posts with 2k+ karma.

Noticing it made me pause and wonder just how bad is reddit now, and when will Elon buy it and rebrand it to Xeddit or something similar

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.

About 13 years. I've been wanting to leave to something else for some time. Dropped it once lemmy became viable for me to stay. I have popped back on for a minute or two here and there. But it's just becoming increasingly foreign and unpalatable. The more they change it, the less interest I have in ever looking at it again.

12 years on site, but only really started getting active over the past couple of years. Considered modding, but didn't feel like I could justify the time commitment as a hobby at this stage. For something new/different/noteworthy, I may have to rethink that stance.

11 years for me.

12+ years, Digg->Reddid refugee here

I've not fully left but I'm spending a lot more time on here and Aether than I am on Reddit

Think I'm in the teens and stopped using Reddit

12 years here, quit reddit.

12 here, account still exists so i can continue to delete my old posts every time they restore them

10 years when I deleted the account.

Now just tears in the rain.

14 years with a reddit account, I lurked for a couple years before that. I lurked on Digg from 05-07 before a nerdy friend introduced me to Reddit. I've never moderated, I mostly read and contribute to communities about local news or communities relevant to my hobbies.

My oldest, out of 5, account was 13y. I fucking loved reddit, but the last 5-6 years it was still easily 1-2hours a day but on tablet and phone. Always RIF. Since RIF is gone I only have being back on my porn account through browser.

Hit my 10 years mark in June. Left at the end of that month when Bacon Reader app could no longer function. Not looking back. I was an active browser, commenter, and occasional poster. Never molded tho.

I don’t know how long I was on Reddit… more than 8 years because it was before my first kid was born. Probably at least ten. Not signing in to check though.

I've left other than checking the few communities that don't exist anywhere else (mostly gaming and a few other niche interests). I haven't logged in since the protest started.

13 years of daily use. Reddit is dead in the water now.

8 Years+ due to being an account-less lurker. Still use for official subreddits and occasional boredom. I guess having twice the content is also fine.

Redditor for ten years. Still have my account but just waiting for the right time to delete the content and just let it sit idle.

14 years here… before the Digg migration even

11+ years, letting it go. This is my home now. Man I just wanted to lol at memes and look at tits and now I have ads every 3 posts. 1 of those three always seems to be a repost too, it got out of hand

what was reddit, can someone describe it.. was that like napster or something.. but yeah, i had a 10 year account or something.. now they couldn't pay me to post to their site..

Sadly I still have to visit reddit for various things. Mostly just for niche questions I have for Google that are best answered on Reddit. Which is a lot.

I don't really want to think about it being that long, considering how quickly I up and left as soon as RiF was supposed to shut down. Not relying on Reddit for Google results is practically impossible for me.
