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.

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.

13 years, here

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.

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.

8 years here, 90% left

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

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

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

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

13 years user, and lemmy reminds me of year 1

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.

13+ here, haven't gone to browse it since they announced the third party changes - despite, I think, my chosen app still working, I removed the shortcut from my home screen and it pretty much stopped me. Few days of awkward muscle memory tapping the area it used to be (embarrassing?)

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.

Me

14 year account

I had to go and check. 11+ years it seems - oh how the time flies. I was pretty much a lurker so I didn't bother with cleaning up my history. I also never used Digg - I guess I've grown up during the period that Digg was sinking and Reddit gained it's popularity.

Yet it's weird how easily I could replace Reddit with Lemmy after such time. Sure, there isn't an Apollo replacement on iOS but to be honest, I don't currently even want one. Most of the communities have started migrating here as well so I'm not missing anything relevant after all.

My longest running account will be 10 years old in December.

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

12 years of heavy activity here, I nuked my account 6 weeks or so ago.

5y, I really miss Unexpected sub

11 years. I want to view controversial content and I'm not feeling too optomistic about lemmy world either.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

14 year account, I'm done with reddit.

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

I don't know. How long ago was 2015? ... Shit I'm old.

My account is 13, but lurked a bit before that. Never installed the official app. Used RES for desktop, and Boost for mobile.
