Reddit

12 years. Haven't browsed Reddit since the blackout. Still end up there sometimes from search results, but I no longer participate. Thinking about hosting my own Lemmy instance.

2009 was my primary account, I was a mod on some default subs and basically just dealt with spammers but it made me hate the site. I took a break and came back with disposable accounts, just used smaller hobby subs mostly.

My last reddit victory was spreading awareness of a toxic powermod's spam network and behavior on the site, someone who single-handedly controlled 20+ subs, dozens of alts, and is the type to send pics of dead bodies to people among other abhorrent behaviors. This led to their reputation being effectively ruined, and then later the admins ended up banning all their primary accounts and they lost all their main subs. They created more anonymous smaller subs and posted a screed against the "attack" on them, to which I gloated in the comments, effectively having that account reported for abuse and permanently suspended, to which I don't feel like appealing.

I lost my preferred third party app and had already been more involved on my favorite sub's discords. So while I still browse some meme subs I haven't really commented or interacted sincerely for quite a while.

7 years for me. But that's still substantial.

It's gotta be 13-15 yrs for me. I haven't deleted my account because I just stopped going over there. They had a good run. Better than digg haha.

16 years here. Haven't gone there since Sync shut down (except for tonight to see how old my account is)

16 years. No RIF equates to no Reddit for the most part for me. Haven't really 'left' formally or permanently, but spend more time here day to day now, its almost the same pattern for how Digg just kind of evaporated from use off over a few weeks as I used Reddit more and more daily.

11 years here, nuked my account from low orbit once sync stopped working. Shit is dumb, but I survived Digg, Slashdot, and all that shit. Love what I'm seeing on Lemmy.

Yo. Wasn't ever terribly active, but the reaction to the recent protest, both in CEO/admin response and some comments, made me realize the site wasn't what it was when I first joined and that I don't mesh with it anymore. I'll miss the active niche subs I followed, but starting fresh with an alternative like here has been great.

Apparently I have been there about 12 years. Don't go anymore and pause when google takes me there. Though I am not creating content so if I look I am mostly just using bandwidth.

7 years, never coming back

I, too, am Spartacus.

Yo. Purged then deleted a 12 year old account. Feels good man.

Right here! 11 years, 2,000,000 karma, made the frontpage almost weekly. Same username as here.

12 years. Not going back. Way better here..

11 years ago I switched to Reddit from Fark. Before that I switched to Fark from Slashdot (mid 5 digit user ID).

I haven't quit Reddit completely, but I've drastically reduced my usage and will likely continue to reduce further as Lemmy and/or other options grow.

Basically the same as I did with previous sites I frequented. I occasionally check Fark and Slashdot, but I'm far from a frequent reader and rarely contribute any further.

It may take time, and obviously won't be as fast as the death of Digg, but spez has likely effectively killed Reddit. It just doesn't know it yet.

Had a 12 year old account, wiped and deleted

Creeping towards 13 years on my main. When rif stopped working I was done. Can't believe how shitty they've been over there.

I’m one of those c/nfl mods and 12+ redditors that has moved on. I know Reddit probably has some life in it still, but the quality of the communities is going to go down. Decentralization serves users best.

My 14 year old account is dead and hasn't been logged into since the api day. I do still lurk on politics and one other sub, but I use RiF to do it.

I haven't totally left it, but I did delete a bunch of stuff and I don't check it as often.

Been mostly on Mastodon.

I had a 10y account. But I'm still going to check Reddit sometimes since Lemmy is not quite there yet, I feel.

Hey. About 12 years and I've never used reddit without something like RES on the browser, Sync on Android or Apollo on iOS.

9+ years (nearly 10) checking in. No point using the site without Apollo

15 years in September. I haven't bailed completely but almost.

Yeah probably 10+ years.

It's going to be hard to stop using Reddit though. Very little niche communities have migrated.

I'd used Reddit in some fashion since about 2012. Jumped ship once I realized Lemmy was gaining steam and Spez wasn't going to budge. I'm sad, no doubt, but I think it's because Reddit was easy. Been lurking on Lemmy more lately just from lack of time, but I'm glad to see that things are still rolling along! I think the communities here are full of folks trying to make something amazing. Happy to contribute!

Edit: Punctuation.

I was there for 14 years with 5 accounts totaling over 1 million karma across them all. Never really cared about karma, it just added up over time. Happy to be here! I left Digg back in the day, too

I had been there since 2010, I didn't even think twice about leaving.

13 years and used to have multiple Reddit tabs open. It was a rough few days when the API boycott happened, but between that and losing Apollo, I realized that I was spending way too much time there, and I'm ok not being there.

I was 12+ years and browsed almost exclusively on mobile through RIF. I switched over to Lemmy and I'm liking it so far.

I haven't entirely left yet, but I'm using Lemmy more and more. Been on reddit for 15 years.

14-year club represent.

13 years on reddit, now one month off

I'm not off Reddit entirely, but I'm trying to transition here for what I can. It looks like most of the communities I'm in are here too, they're just a lot quieter. So I'm looking to post more.

Was on Reddit for ~7 years, I think.

12 years, I was kind of surprised reddit just kept chugging along.

12 years (Dec 2010), 113000 comment karma, Reddit premium (still 10 months of that remaining apparently).

Cancelled my premium subscription, and I rarely visit the site anymore (usually just to gawk at the lack of any content). I was a large contributor to tech support and networking subs including /r/techsupport and /r/homenetworking. Avid user of old.reddit.com and RES.

Needless to say, I'm sad that we needed to find a new home, though, I get it. I'm not mad at anyone specific about it, beyond /u/spez. And I'm firmly invested in to Lemmy.

Fuck spez.

I'm not completely off reddit yet (reduced interaction but still disentangling from it, it'll probably take a little while yet to be completely gone), but I made the account I have there now in August 2008, just shy of 15 years ago. I lurked for a good while before making that account though. (edit: > 150K comment karma, most participation on low volume subs)

12 years in September. Was difficult those first couple of weeks to leave after so long but I think I’ve finally detoxed.

11.5 years here, and was using Narwhal to access on mobile.

Whilst Narwhal seems to have worked out a deal with Reddit to keep going, albeit having to charge in the near future, after all the bad blood caused by everything going on and the uncertainty of whether or not some apps would continue I’ve had enough.

As many have said, the community here seems tight-knit and feels like they really care about things which isn’t something I’ve seen on Reddit for a long time.

Long live Lemmy!

11 years, haven’t logged in since Apollo was killed.

15 year user. Haven't been back since the API changes were made public.

Yup. Can't remember the exact date because I deleted those accounts, but from a glance at emails it was no later than 2010.

I now waste my time here, and occasionally look at a subreddit as a logged-out user for certain informational threads (eg. the pinned driver discussion thread atop /r/NVIDIA, or the pinned release discussion thread atop /r/UnRAID).

Hopefully in time, more of this discussion will migrate away from Reddit. I deleted my phone apps and my browser bookmark, so I no longer autopilot my way there.

17 years. Deleted all posts and comments and I avoid it unless I google something and there's something relevant
