Yo. And the more time that passes, the less I miss it.
11+ years with an account and 15 or so as a lurker checking in
I was on Reddit for over 5 years
11 year refugee here.
I don't browse Reddit at all anymore. Overwrote all my comments then deleted my accounts. I only go if a search lands me there for something specific as a guest in a private tab.
15 Year club... sad to leave. But even sadder to see what has become. Don't plan on deleting my account but I won't renew my premium when it comes back up.
My account turns 11 on August 11th... lurking 2-3 years prior. As soon as the news was dropped about API changes I came over here and switched between the two. Stopped using reddit overall once my app wasn't supported. I miss my small communities and the news from my city but I can't continue to support it
+1
I lost access to my first account, but it had to have been before 2008 when I created it--because I remember when they added user create-able subreddits (and I just checked at that happened in Jan 08). My second(or third?) account had 13 years on it when I left reddit.
So, I'd say I was on reddit for ~16-17 years.
12 year old Reddit account here. Though, for every end there is a new beginning. Looking forward to seeing how Lemmy continues to grow. 🙂
11 or 12 years here
I was a 10 year lurker. Actually post a bit on here..
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
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 was at about 12 when I left
I just googled it. Reddit was made in 2005. That means I must've started using it in 2007 or 8.
I think I had 9, but a year or two of lurking prior.
Almost 11 years with this username, a few years before that with another account that was linked to IRL stuff so decided to dedoxify myself.
I'm glad tbh - Reddit's been tailspinning as an experience since 2016 at least, it's just become much more aggressive about hating it's userbase and free labour recently.
Who can say, but I have largely left the site.
Yep, I left when it was announced Apollo was shutting down.
Around 8 years here. I really hate ads, so i just leave this shitty network.
At least 15 years here
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.
Not quite there yet, but 8 years and left with Sync.
I was on Reddit since Digg went the way of the dodo. Changed accounts one time, the one I deleted when Apollo died was just shy of 10 years. It was tough.
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.
My oldest account was 11.5 years old. Together the 3 of them had half a million karma. Used Relay for most of that time. Haven't used any of my accounts since the API shutdown. This made me not want even visit the site anymore.
11 years over here!
12 years here sounding off
Left when Apollo wasn't allowed to continue
16+ years. No intentions of going back. The Fediverse is cool, and I’m enjoying it.
11 years. Had to use an extension to manually block Reddit to stop myself from automatically going to Reddit for the first two months.
12 years here
About 15 years here. Just couldn’t help it grow any bigger after what it became
2008 for me.
Said it elsewhere sometime yesterday-- bout 13 years.
I joined the week that the Rampart ama took place. Reddit's been shite since about 2015 so I'm happy to have found something that feels a bit like those early days.
11 years
10 years for me!
