Well over 10 years. About 4 years ago found myself missing the "old" Reddit experience, lighthearted, tons of memes, silly, and interesting. Feels more like that on Lemmy.
I left at the start of the blackout which was 2 weeks under 10 years for me.
12 or 13 years? Don't really remember or care!
I deleted my alt with 45k comment karma that was I think 14 years, my oldest account is a version of my actual name that I don’t want someone taking that is 16 years old, that I didn’t delete, but I did nuke all my comments.
10 years for me!
Me.
16 years for me. They took away the app I preferred (joey) so I went somewhere else.
12 years. The couple times I have gone back since joining here I can't help but notice how toxic the comments are. Didn't notice it before... Must've been a boiling frog phenomenon .
Much more joyous here. I'm hoping that vibe stays around here for a little while.
12 years of heavy activity here, I nuked my account 6 weeks or so ago.
Yo.
11 years. I want to view controversial content and I'm not feeling too optomistic about lemmy world either.
My longest running account will be 10 years old in December.
15 years and almost went to a stop going there (I setup a RSS feed for 3 subs, but I actually manually check them twice a week to make sure I'm not missing on important news)
The fediverse as a whole is getting more and more interesting this year. Sure, it's still lacking in amount of content, but it brings me "good enough" content to avoid feeling like I'm missing something.
8 for me
It's good to be on the old internet. 10+ years, 300k nuked karma. I still have my account to take care of some subs but the activity is here.
12 years here sounding off
had an 11 year old account. Deleted it
Been using it for about 12 years. I deleted all my comments, but haven't closed my account (due to work reasons - I'm in a Comms position, and keeping tabs on all SM is pretty important). However, no new comments, up/down votes, shares, nothing of the like.
My primary access was through Boost (Android), and I don't visit it much except for finding weird tech-support items, reviews/comparisons, and a few other unique pieces of content that will eventually migrate elsewhere.
Edit: I've also stopped scrolling and consuming personal content as much, now that I don't use reddit regularly.
2013-2023.
What's got 2 thumbs and is this guy?
THIS GUY!
11 years
I just googled it. Reddit was made in 2005. That means I must've started using it in 2007 or 8.
10+ years. Deleted my account, posts and comments. It was long and slow decision. It's just not the same reddit I feel in love with. Carma whoring, vanity, both far right and far left junk, bots (hate bots), the terrible UI... Finally, when I could no longer use RIF, that was it. I actually worked on a reddit API based app a few years ago and this really pissed me off on that level too.
12 years here. Few thousand karma. Fuck the corporate shit.
I put in something like 11 years. It's kong enough to understand that platforms can and will die in 10+ years.
14years
+1
I forget what year it happened in but I started reddit with the Digg migration.
Yeah, it’s been about that long.
Reporting for duty, sir!
Would have 12 years in August here. There's some fandom-centric communities that I miss from my old reddit sub list, but honestly I'm thoroughly enjoying lemmy. I mostly stuck to the official app and the desktop old reddit before dropping it for lemmy, It's so damn nice not seeing He Gets Us ads or casino ads like every 4-5 posts. I left reddit just about when they announced the API cost changes and was like, welp that's going to kill everything. I got an email about Lemmy SDF because of my Mastodon and basically said hey might as well jump ship now and check this thing out.
