I had been lurking since ~2011. Probably racked up around 15 comments total, but it was a near-daily visit.

I’m old hat. I joined during the Digg vs Reddit wars of the early 2000s. Glad to see a new contender on the block.

11 years here, going back every now and then only on desktop. Probably dropped my usage by 99%

11 years. Fuck spez

Only 7 years for me, but long enough to hope they miss my traffic.

✋ 15ish years. Left after Reddit confirmed they wouldn't be changing the policy

About 11 years, here. I only go back occasionally to look at some communities that haven't really moved here yet that are important to me, but other than that, I steer clear of Reddit and I prefer Lemmy now.

Yeah around 10 years here

I joined reddit 2009, so I suppose 14 years. Back then I was more using Slashdot.

12 years.

170k karma. Nuked my post history a month ago. I'll occasionally look at reddit on my work desktop but I'm absolutely not installing the app

12 year club. Fuck spez.

About 12 years, I was living in Rarotonga at the time and I was looking for something to replace my YouTube habit because data was herendously expensive and reddit was mostly text and images, it was fantastic

I have been trying to make the switch to Lemmy but frankly the content on here is very low quality compared to Reddit for now...

13 years on Reddit.

Twelve years on reddit and just about as long using reddit is fun, but now I'm gone.

16 years. Fuck /u/spez

There's a few subs I mod that I actually care about on an alt, I just login to mod. But yeah after 12ish years I'm pretty done

And for the record, it was not my choice to keep these communites open, I was in the minority on the mod team that wanted to fully migrate.

Haven't deleted my account but I've exclusively been here now. It was a few years old. Want to see Lemmy (and other alternative sites) grow as reddit loses.

11 years here. Deleted all my posts (not that I was a crazy prolific poster, but it still took hours and hours with the tool running).

12 years here, across two accounts. I nuked the last day that RIF was able to be used.

I only go back because of the Ukraine Subreddit. Once the war is over I will be done with that site.

The main page yesterday was almost all Bot spam from what I saw before jumping to war updates. It was really noticeable and only served to reinforce that I should be done over there. Random misspelled posts, or words that shouldn't be present, or even just totally mislabeled posts with 2k+ karma.

Noticing it made me pause and wonder just how bad is reddit now, and when will Elon buy it and rebrand it to Xeddit or something similar

Deleted mine a month ago.

I don't miss it one bit.

Nearly 14 years, right after digg imploded.

I was right at the 10 year mark myself. I only use it now when a thread comes up in a search, I don't ever go there just for the sake of it anymore.

Had my account for 13 years and was a lurker for a while prior to that.

I thought I might miss Reddit but I really don't. Only issue is trying to find info on random things I can't find anywhere else.

I started using reddit in 2011, I'm not a power user or major contributor by any means. But I'm a lonely person who got joy out of my small niche communities, and I fear those are the spaces that will take the longest to reappear on lemmy, especially because I have no interest in modding or starting any of them myself. I haven't actually subscribed to any communities on lemmy yet, I'm waiting for the sync app to be ready so things will be more like I'm used to using (aka easier) and then I'll log into old reddit on my computer, write down all the subreddits I'm subscribed to, and begin to see which ones exist on the different lemmy instances and start to make this place feel more like my lil internet home. I liked tithe reddit experience more when I first started using it, and I'm excited for lemmy to kind of have that feeling again, since it's new and small still.

+1 here. I used the same account for over a decade, then left the site when RiF died.

Enshittification strikes again. It was only a matter of time, really. Reddit ownership is neither smart nor innovative. It's no longer a site for users, it's a platform for advertisers.

I used reddit for more than 12 years and I deleted my most recent account and left cold turkey.

I made my first account in 2007. I ended up deleting it before long but I made another in 2009, which I deleted a couple of weeks ago (after manually deleting every comment and post I had ever made).

Officially, I had just reached the 14-year club.

14 years. Mostly on RIF. Deleted my account on the last day. Enjoying it here. Many thanks to all of you!

Yes.

11 years. Should have left multiple times during that stint but RIF shutting down was the last nail in the coffin.

My oldest account is at 9 years 10 months at the moment. Was a lurker for a time before that too. I haven't deleted my accounts out of concern of my comments reappearing, but I've kept any interaction with that site at a minimum.

Most of the time, I just check to see if any comments resurfaced, or if I've got a love letter from the admins. Neither has happened so far, but I'm not sure it won't happen. Until then, I will keep scrubbing my accounts.

I don't see myself returning there. I've lost any desire to do so, and my old, yet scrubbed accounts will serve as a reminder never to interact with that site ever again. Peek, if I must, but never interact.

Been on Reddit for just a touch over ten years. Still visit it not logged in on a forked Reddit app with ad/telemetry content disabled, but refuse to engage content whatsoever.

Ten-Year Club member here. Still need to sometimes to completely quit reddit.

Eight years almost to the day between leaving Reddit then joining here, but I feel like a refugee multiple times over.

Old BBSes briefly; then IRC then and that chat thing Wired had for a while; the various Yahoo boards; Facebook (shudder, only a year or so); but mainly this one forum I loved that Twitter killed; Digg a little on the side; then Metafilter for more than a decade before I buttoned and came to Reddit.

I agree with wreel (how do we "@" people here?) that this feels a lot like the early fora of the original www, even a bit like BBSes on steroids at times.

16yrs, made an account before the Digg drama, migrated there after.

I’ve not been back since, other than friends linking to stuff there basically

13 years. I lurked a few years before creating an account. Been using Lemmy for the most part since the Apollo app shut down a month ago. I still append "reddit" to my searches though, so I occasionally end up there for older content.

Two accounts. One I used to moderate that I made in 2009, and my other account was made about 10 years ago.

Used RIF on mobile and RES on desktop.

Now I use neither, deleted my moderator account and just left my more personal account to rot. (Don't want to delete everything on that one just yet).

9.5ish here

10+ years here, not sure how long because I deleted my account.

I deleted it towards the end of June, when Christian announced Apollo was closing down, and how Spez fucked him by twisting his comments.

I was very active in *Nix subs, like Linux, Ubuntu, elementaryOS, helping users. I was also active in the macOS patching subs (mojave / Catalina / OpenCore legacy), with guides and news. So there's definitely some substance lost by me deleting all my posts / comments. Do I care? Not really.

13 years, cut and run when 3rd party app support was killed.

12 years. Migrated to Reddit when Digg collapsed. Reddit slowly changed over the last 4 years or so, for the worse, even before the recent shenanigans. Glad to be here.

11-12 years here. I wasnt there at the beginning, but I sure as hell saw some of the "greatest hits" of fuckery.
