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.

Digg refugee, so my reddit account is 13 years old.

[-] LittleKerr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Exactly 10 years. Haven't visited Reddit since mid-june. I miss it? Yeah, but fuck Spez

I started using around 2013, a guy in my math class showed me the site, and I hadn't taken a single day off until a couple of days after the r*ddit ama. Now I will live and die on Lemmy

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Me, the modding had become a real quagmire.

[-] TheVillageGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

7 years, still there to moderate because only half of the community wanted to leave. But that's it, no more frontpage for me.

[-] debeluhar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

9 years on reddit. I didn't post a lot of content or comments but I read a lot. As soon as they killed 3rd party apps, I left. And switched to lemmy. I like it here. I think I already posted more comments here, than on reddit. I don't miss reddit at all.

[-] exixx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

10+ years, I had really started to generate content the last couple years, and will now forever be at 49.5k karma. I even used the shitty app, but left for good when spez started talking about admiring musk. He's an unredeemable prick.

[-] susquatch@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

13 years here. Not going back!

11 year old reddit account deleted, plus an anon alt for gaming stuff.

I had no interest in using reddit without Apollo anyway, but the way they treated Selig and the other devs was just mind blowing. The treatment of mods after I'd already deleted everything just made me more sure I'd made the right decision.

[-] nephs@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

12 years here. Few thousand karma. Fuck the corporate shit.

[-] drdabbles@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

My oldest account is just under 14 years old. I only visit to check on the status of my data download, and check on one sub once a month.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Close to 5-6 or so years if I count my banned account years.
Still on both fences but I will try to transition once sync for lemmy is ready.

[-] heartlessevil@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

I was there for about 15 years, shortly after launch, when there were only a handful of predefined subreddits. I would say "good times" but there was also shit like jailbait as a default sub...

[-] ganksy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

There since 2009. That's about when I started mainlining the internet. Glad to watch it burn here with all of you. Cheers!

[-] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

had an 11 year old account. Deleted it

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure I was at 11 years. Not going back to check

[-] Romanmir@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

Yep, part of the 11-year club as well. I stopped browsing on mobile when Apollo died. I still browse on old.reddit in a browser, but I've found about 60%-70% of the content on here that I was looking for over there. So, not too shabby.

[-] BellaDonna@mujico.org 2 points 2 years ago

Almost 18 years for me, I left Digg for Reddit over the HD DVD thing. It was really hard to leave.

[-] ChamrsDeluxe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

What's got 2 thumbs and is this guy?

THIS GUY!

[-] scarcer@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

12 or 13 years? Don't really remember or care!

[-] argo_yamato@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yep 10+ and I left about a week after RIF went down and deleted my account about a week later. Haven't looked back.

[-] SovuOrzalt@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

12 years. Deleted my account. Fuck em

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

12 years, deleted my account and overwrote all posts and comments I could before I did so.

16 years for me. They took away the app I preferred (joey) so I went somewhere else.

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
[-] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I forget what year it happened in but I started reddit with the Digg migration.

[-] Madbrad200@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm 10 years, I haven't left Reddit completely but I've definitely started using it significantly less

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Reporting for duty, sir!

[-] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?

It's me. I'm in this picture

[-] tiny_tina_@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Deleted my 11 year old account. Stepped down as mod

[-] iamlyth@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

15 year club here. Deleted and never looked back.
