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.

It's me. I'm in this picture

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

Present, 11 year old account when I left. Not "deleted" because I'm lazy, but certainly abandoned.

Should be 10 years soon. I honestly haven't had any issues personally, but spez fell really low with his claims and decisions and I don't like the corporate stink. Better do something before it does affect me personally, and help the Fediverse grow.

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

10 years here. Feels refreshing !

[-] We1chy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Me. Not quite 10 years, but close at 9 and some months.

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

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

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

9 years on my last account. About 13 or 14 years on my first one that was doxxing me

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

I be gone. Miss the main content streams I enjoyed for sports but I think the community will build up here.

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

Close to ten, but I didnt leave, I got permabanned, I still dont know why

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

I was there for at least 10 years. Not going back.

[-] digitalgadget@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Over 10. I left for Voat, then it died, then I didn't come back for a long time. Started enjoying it again and now I'm done.

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

Not quite there yet, but 8 years and left with Sync.

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

I think I had 9, but a year or two of lurking prior.

[-] Tetra@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

9 years here, was quite active too

[-] ben914@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

14 years for me.

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

11 years here.

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

I spent 5 years on Reddit, a made a lemmy account after the API changes

I saw the writing on the wall,

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

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

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

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

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

I'm one. First found Reddit around 2011 iirc and yeah, the changes of the past 5-7 years took much of what brought me there in the first place away. The most recent API changes, killing the app that made me a daily user in the first place were just the cherry on top and what really crosses the line for me. Censor it all you want, hated that but what site isn't censored to the brim nowadays? But take away my favorite apps and basically extort the developer? Nah.

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

I lurked for a few years before making an acct. It was just over 11 when I deleted it.

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

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.

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

11+ years with an account and 15 or so as a lurker checking in

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

Who can say, but I have largely left the site.

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

Add another

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

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

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

Me, the modding had become a real quagmire.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

14 years and change. Haven't been back since blackout day.

[-] abon999@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Around 8 years here. I really hate ads, so i just leave this shitty network.

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

I dunno... 2009ish

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

Joined in 2009. Pretty much never browse Reddit anymore other than specific scenarios.

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

Ten plus years. I'd have to log in to my account to check and it's not worth it. Quitting reddit was surprisingly easy.

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

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

13 years here. Spent a few years before that just lurking.

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

12 years here

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

13 years here. Not going back!
