News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

12 Years, fuck you u/Spez.
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.
12 years here, started using it regularly after they killed Google reader.
✋
At least 10 years....won't go and check. I'm working hard to get the hang of the fediverse and being patient while it grows up. I'll check a few niche subjects on Reddit but without a phone app my usage is down like 98%. Not posting or voting. Obligatory fuck /u/spez. What a dumbass maneuver he pulled...so many other choices. Can't wait for him to go down in flames....
I used reddit for more than 12 years and I deleted my most recent account and left cold turkey.
Just checked, apparently my first account is actually a bit over 10 years old. I haven't fully cut ties with reddit yet, but I'm interested in Lemmy, and participating a little.
I intend to be an annoying cunt on reddit constantly saying "Lemmy is better" whenever that statement can actually pass as true to a general audience. And I fully intend to violate the fuck out of the "you can't make a new account when we ban you"-rule if I end up getting banned for it.
Hit my 10 years mark in June. Left at the end of that month when Bacon Reader app could no longer function. Not looking back. I was an active browser, commenter, and occasional poster. Never molded tho.
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.
Yes.
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
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.
Twelve years on reddit and just about as long using reddit is fun, but now I'm gone.
I joined reddit 2009, so I suppose 14 years. Back then I was more using Slashdot.
12 year club. Fuck spez.

The only real reddit drama that I personally was invested was r/animemes with Trap ban, so it's easy to ignore chat, follows, cryptocurency, Reddit becoming close sourced, Avatars (I set up one and change it 1 time when free was given and like ehh it's gamer thingy lookalike will use it).
I got my GPDR or how it called request, but didn't login till day 20 and you have 7 days to download and 30 to request link... well I requested link 3 times and still error.
Sup.
11 years. Was using Apollo, now on Voyager! It’s like nothing has changed, except fewer bots.
14 years. Mostly on RIF. Deleted my account on the last day. Enjoying it here. Many thanks to all of you!
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.
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.
A bit over 10 years for me. Haven't looked back. That shit was rough.
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).
Me!
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.
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.
9.5ish here
Got my first Reddit account in 2012 (which unfortunately was hacked in 2020 and got shut down). So I have used Reddit for 11 years at this point. I have been sick of the direction Reddit is going for a while, and when I realized Lemmy had started seeing some traffic I thought it was time to give this place a shot. So far Lemmy feels a bit like Reddit used to, which isn't a bad thing.
🙋♂️
I think I hit my 12 year cake day shortly before leaving for good, and that wasn't my first account.
Yo. ✋
Me
Me. Around 10-11 year account. It sucks since Reddit has been my landing page ever since joining. It really hurts that greed destroyed a good thing we have there.
But I feel that lemmy has something better to offer.
12 year club, left when Apollo died, so far haven’t gone back.
+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.
Approaching 11 years
11 years here
Lurked reddit since 2006 (a year after it was founded); joined in 2008.
Leaving wasn't easy. Quitting tobacco was less difficult. But fuck 'em. I'm done.
