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.

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.

[-] OctopusKurwa@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Chatotorix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

[-] BuckyVanBuren@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

2008 for me.

[-] grandkaiser@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[-] Tilted@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

16+ years. No intentions of going back. The Fediverse is cool, and I’m enjoying it.

[-] Bravebellows@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Left when Apollo wasn't allowed to continue

[-] blargh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

11 years over here!

[-] TheShitAbyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I was a 10 year lurker. Actually post a bit on here..

[-] DAMunzy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've deleted multiple accounts over the years trying to leave Reddit. All my accounts are now gone and I only visit of an Internet search brings me to the site.

[-] wtvr@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

15+ years here. I would login and check exactly but I don't wanna give em any traffic 😆

[-] lymingseng@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

5y, I really miss Unexpected sub

[-] DrunkRobotMan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

7 years here. Glad I left reddit for lemmy. I will never sign up for a centralized social media platform again, I've learned my lesson.

Fuck u/spez.

[-] FreeloadingSponger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Present. My oldest account just had it's 13th cake day.

[-] kaotic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

14 year account, I'm done with reddit.

[-] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

13 years, here

[-] JustWords@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Just logged in at Reddit to confirm--12 years.

And my whole homepage there is filled with posts about sex. I don't log in there for weeks and it's gone way down hill.

[-] mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Would have been 12 years this month, I haven’t deleted my account yet but I haven’t been back since end of June. While I do miss some of my old communities, I loved Apollo and Alien Blue before that and won’t go back. I posted pretty frequently and most always from mobile. I’m working on deleting the old account here soon.

[-] Rusky_900@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Not sure how long exactly, but probably more than 10 years. And I'm gone!

[-] luffyuk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

8 years here, 90% left

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I've all but stopped using Reddit. I was extremely active for well over a decade.

[-] Whulum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

8 years for me. Cut my usage down by around 95% I'd say. Only when I need something specific do I go back

Honestly I don't mind as much as I thought I'd do

[-] Syenite@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm one of 'em. Killing Sync (and every other awesome 3rd party client) was the straw that broke this camel's back.

[-] ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Almost to 10. 9yrs 6 months before I left.

[-] zerkrazus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

My main account over there isn't that old, but I've been using the site off/on for probably at least that long. I mainly was a reader/lurker over there for years as I didn't really feel like posting as at the time almost everything I posted got downvoted for some reason. Then over time as I got older I cared less about that and started posting more. Last I checked I think my karma was 100,000-something.

[-] Thea_C@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I joined 2012. It's a weird feeling leaving it after so long.

[-] optissima@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

13 years user, and lemmy reminds me of year 1

[-] itsmaxyd@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Joined in 2008, left in 2023.. the only constant is change
