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.

MODERATORS
 

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.

I don't know. How long ago was 2015? ... Shit I'm old.

[–] agissilver@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Digg refugee, so my reddit account is 13 years old.

[–] LittleKerr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Exactly 10 years. Haven't visited Reddit since mid-june. I miss it? Yeah, but fuck Spez

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Me, the modding had become a real quagmire.

[–] TheVillageGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

7 years, still there to moderate because only half of the community wanted to leave. But that's it, no more frontpage for me.

[–] exixx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

10+ years, I had really started to generate content the last couple years, and will now forever be at 49.5k karma. I even used the shitty app, but left for good when spez started talking about admiring musk. He's an unredeemable prick.

[–] susquatch@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

13 years here. Not going back!

Close to 5-6 or so years if I count my banned account years.
Still on both fences but I will try to transition once sync for lemmy is ready.

[–] heartlessevil@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

I was there for about 15 years, shortly after launch, when there were only a handful of predefined subreddits. I would say "good times" but there was also shit like jailbait as a default sub...

[–] Romanmir 2 points 2 years ago

Yep, part of the 11-year club as well. I stopped browsing on mobile when Apollo died. I still browse on old.reddit in a browser, but I've found about 60%-70% of the content on here that I was looking for over there. So, not too shabby.

[–] SovuOrzalt@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

12 years. Deleted my account. Fuck em

Redditor for almost about 12 years now. Signed up on Sun 28th Aug 06:12:41 2011. Nuking my account as soon as I can get my data take-out.

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thirteen years, roughly 800k karma.

Nuked it all when RIF went down.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

10 years, 120k karma

The changes would have had no immediate affect on me, but it’s the mods that made the place useable. I just can’t see it working after alienating so many of the people wrangling content

However I also expected to be next on the chopping block. I prefer to use a web browser and the constant nag to use the app was getting irritating, and they seemed to be eating away at the old UI to push us to the fiasco that replaced it (it probably doesn’t help that I use Safari on iPad and their attempt to get fancy is less compatible)

[–] argo_yamato@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yep 10+ and I left about a week after RIF went down and deleted my account about a week later. Haven't looked back.

[–] noodlejetski@geddit.social 2 points 2 years ago

almost 11 years and over half a million karma.

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

11+ years with an account and 15 or so as a lurker checking in

[–] nephs@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

12 years here. Few thousand karma. Fuck the corporate shit.

[–] Thea_C@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

12 years for me. Havent gotten back on since finding out about Lemmy. Reddit fonally becoming fully enshittified lead me to the fediverse, which actually gives me HOPE. I'm very happy to be here. I'm even happy to see the right wingers here, because if they de-federate from traditional social media they'll ALSO BE BETTER OFF and hopefully stop being activley manipulated for 20 minutes.

Welcome here!

[–] El_Azulito@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I was there since 2010, then I got banned for getting into spats with fascists. Fuck’em all. Reddit sucks. Free speech my ass.

[–] Lenins2ndCat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.
