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.

+1 here.

I used the official Reddit app for some time before switching between Apollo and Joey (depending on whether I had an iPhone at the time or an Android).

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

I am one. I had six Reddit accounts, a couple were throwaways. I started at Slashdot then Digg then Reddit. I’ve since deleted all my most popular posts (that caused PMs on the regular) then deleted the accounts afterwards.

I still view content on there but with no account using AdGuard and Sink It (removes Reddits BS “download app” prompts). I also browse incognito to not leave behind tracking cookies.

I’ve made sure I’m worthless traffic to them for the content that Lemmy doesn’t have.

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

Just checked: oldest account i still have is 16 years old.

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

11 year, here. I lurk for it to supplement my news until Lemmy ramps up. Otherwise, I'm done there. Not exactly by choice, but because I was wrongly permanently suspended and admins refuse to listen to an appeal. Their loss, for I made them money through gildings both given and received, informative content, and reporting of incivility, bigotry, and violence.

11 years+ here. Left almost a month ago.

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

On reddit since 2011, used Rif since 2013. Used reddit through browser before that. I still had Rif installed on my phone after the switch to lemmy, and I used to take a look back to reddit every now and then. But now I have a new phone and Rif is not available on the Play store. I refuse to use the reddit app. Good bye Rif, you were my companion for many years.

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

Not quite 10 years, only 8, but I left the moment rif was shut down. Fuck spez

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

I got all my accounts banned last year and I've been watching the decline ever since.

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

I joined back in 2012 because I found more information looking up stuff there than I did on Google. I was one of those poor people who would go on reddit on the computer then go on the app and then go back to my computer. When I caught wind of what was going on with the third party and how it broke my favourite app Bacon Reader, I only went back just to see how many more John Oliver pictures were posted on r/pics and if there was any additional posting on and about pitties.

[-] Hxc777@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

12 years and honestly it’s a welcome change. I see others upset at the content quality but for me it’s a breath of fresh air and gives me good vibes.

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

Had an 11 year old account.

[-] ninja@hoboninjachicken.com 1 points 2 years ago

11+ years, here

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

I was on Reddit for around 11 years. Zero regrets leaving.

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

Here, but I still use Reddit for (the unfortunately many) communities that haven't migrated to Lemmy

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

I have the 5 year trophy. Not nearly as many years as 10, but still something. I also left Reddit.

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

Only 9 years here.

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

11 years for me

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

I've been on reddit since 2010, stopped when the 3rd parties were killed. The only thing I really miss is magictcg, there's nowhere else online anymore that keeps track of everything. I miss my daily dose of Wizards of the Coast drama

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

8 Years myself

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

8 years, deleted July 1. I kept a "throwaway" account to lurk when needed. Oh, the irony.

[-] AshMan85@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

i delted my 12+ yr. account.

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

10 yo for me

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

Digg refugee, I've had a couple 10+ year accts until the doxxing. Then I started flipping accts on the regular to prevent that. Modded a few subs until the admin IP banned me for being critical of the direction they are going.

So now I'm here and to be frank a lot happier.

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

It would have been 13 years this year, but the API changes killed Boost and after also killing Reddit Gifts for failing to turn a profit when it started as a community thing, plus the new redesign to make it look more like the Facebook feed, plus having to rely on automoderator codes instead of having properly integrated mod tools, plus the fact that they keep rolling out Place again instead of coming up with more original ideas like The Button, plus allowing the_donald and creepshots to exist for so long...

...yeah.
