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 poweruser, joined reddit in the digg exodus, spent many years pissing off redditors through various projects, ShitRedditSays, HailCorporate, GamingCirclejerk, the fun ones come and go in waves of interest as the zeitgeist moves along.

Been on lemmy for 3 years already now.

Adding my hand 12+ years

[-] redders@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yup, when Joey stopped working I tried the Reddit app for a few days, but it was just awful.

So here I am.

[-] muertinez@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

hopped on in 2011. stopped when apollo died

[-] Justsillyme@pornlemmy.com 1 points 2 years ago

I'm trying to remember. I know I had an app for it way back when I had an iPod touch, probably when I had the 3rd gen one.

Can't remember what year it was, but alien blue was still its own thing before it got bought out. I wanna say 12ish years? Can't remember for sure, but pretty sure I'm over 10.

I was on there for 10 years. Fuck Steve Huffman.

[-] rafa@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I used Reddit since 2012 until spez destroyed third party clients

[-] PreventFalls@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I joined in early 2012. In 2015 I became a mod on an active created by a friend for our EDM scene in a fairly major city. I had a Google calendar linked to FB event pages and added events multiple times a week and also helped mod a sub for a record label out of said city with now some widely known national artists. I’ve since moved states and stopped using Reddit after the blackout/API stuff. I miss it.

[-] SasquatchBanana@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Around 15 years for me. I also took 3 10+ year old accounts too

[-] TetHead@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 years ago

I literally only go back for a couple of the NSFW reddits like once a week. Other than that it is dead to me.

[-] TerdFerguson@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

14 years. Reddit has been shit for a while tho.

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago
[-] rocky1138@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I deleted my account of over 10 years and only go back anonymously for Ukraine and World News. I haven't found a replacement for those on Lemmy.

[-] PurplebeanZ@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yep was there 12-13 years and haven't been back since sync stopped working.

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

13 years one account, 9 years the other.

After the API enshittification clarion, I sat down for hours and munged every. single. damn. comment with a complaint about this.

THEN I deleted the accounts.

For now, Lemmy is merely potential, but shaping up. Mastodon is microblogging and is built around individuals promoting themselves, so it feels egotistical, but it's more mature than Lemmy so I lurk there for now too.

Ultimately I am a forum user, as a participant in a conversation. Looking forward to that again.

[-] Calamare@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

About 13 years of daily use for me, I haven't been back since the blackout started.

[-] Thanks4Nothing@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago
[-] ihavenopeopleskills@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Still participate in a few communities sparingly. My activity is single points of what it used to be.

[-] academician@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

17 years. Probably the only site other than Google I've visited almost every day since then. It's extremely depressing to lose Reddit after all that time. But I'm enjoying Lemmy, and hoping we can grow it Digg-exodus-style.

[-] wildcelt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

12 years for me, bye bye! I really don't miss it much.

[-] m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

11 years. Very active commenter.

I've got high hopes for this place and the fedi-verse in general! I think the decentralized nature has so much potential.

[-] Gomiyboy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

14 years and they're welcome to it

[-] DJVIIIMan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

15 year Reddit user. Had my account banned for suggesting that a pedophile should have been taken out behind a building and shot. Up until that point, I hadn't even had so much as a suspension. It started with being banned from subs I never visited or commented in. I remember I had gotten into an argument with a mod and was accused of racism. To prove my racism, they used the "N word count bot", which came up with zero uses of the word in the entire 15 years I was on Reddit, which I think hurt the other person's feelings. His account had multiple uses. I really didn't think much of it and left Reddit alone for a couple of days due to being busy with work. When I went to log back in, I saw that I had been suspended for 30 days, and a week after that, I was permanently banned. Personally, think a lot of it had to do with my being subscribed and was active in some subs that were in direct contrast to Reddit's majority political ideology. I was told there are ways around a Reddit ban but I don't care enough to put in that much work to make another account.

[-] watcher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Been on Reddit since 2011 while my main account is only 9 years old. Regardless, Lemmy is now my go-to except for smaller subreddits that haven't fully migrated yet. That said, I've noticed more and more activity in those lemmy communities so I have high hopes the trend continues!

[-] changingfmh@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

12 years here. It's out my social media rotation.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Can't remember when I first started, but I paid for RIF Platinum in May 2014. It's been steadily declining for years, and the new API changes were the final nail in the coffin for me.

[-] dewritochan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

12-13ish years. Deleted at start of June protests because I didn't expect reddit to budge at all

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

11 years. Left and didn't look back.

[-] beerclue@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

15y club here. Still go there from time to time, as there are very specific tech communities that I go to for help, unfortunately, but most of my social media is over here.

[-] phileashog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Yup. Surprisingly painless, pleasant even.

[-] felixthecat@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

13 years. Don't even notice it, loving kbin.social. hoping it gets app support soon!

[-] CoolBeance@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

12 years here

[-] Nisciunu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

11 and I don't miss it anymore

[-] burrito@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I was on for over a decade and they did a great job driving me away.

[-] digdilem@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

I deleted my 11yr high karma account on 1st July. I had another before that which was a couple of years or so old.

I did it in protest but as an interesting side effect, my mental health has improved slightly. Guess actively engaging with toxicity does have an effect.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

13 years. Adios.

[-] Flashoflight@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Sounding off. 15 years. Deleted that thing. Haven't looked back besides checking an occasional subreddit that decided to stay there.

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[-] darthfluffy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Joined in January, 2013 so just over 10 years. Ialmost exclusively lurked though.
