Reddit

+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.

14 year old here. I've been back a few times to run Power Delete Suite to modify my existing comments, then delete them. Not sure what's happening, but the above is "a few times" as I checked once and sure enough some of my deleted comments were reappearing on that damned site!

I've also deleted all saved comments, etc.

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

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

Yeah around 10 years here

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

I was there for right around 10 years. Deleted all my comments off my main with powerdeletesuite before the api was nuked.

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.

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.

You can count me as one of them. I was unsatisfied with Reddit for a while, but the recent changes were just too much.

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.

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

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.

11 years. I want to view controversial content and I'm not feeling too optomistic about lemmy world either.

I torched all my content. In hindsight I should’ve left a way for people to contact me in case I’d posted a solution to a problem. But it’s too late now.

I pretty much left right after the digg redesign which turned the site into a tabloid. More than a decade ago.

16 years there. Once Boost stopped working I got off the site and migrated here. I've read threads that come up in Google searches, and looked at some specialty subs since, but nothing longer than 5 minutes every few days.

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).

Yup, 11 or 12 on the account with this name, plus a few before that under a no longer extant account, and a few months without an account as a lurker before that.

10 years, pretty much on the nose, I was there until RIF went away, and been here since.

9.5ish 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.

Me. Even paid for Premium for a few years too cuz I wanted to support the site

I made it about 12 years or so on Reddit. There are days where I do miss the place, but Kbin and Tumblr have been quite adequate replacements, I find.

I also feel like both sites are much friendlier as a general rule.

I'm Spartacus.

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

Made my account in 2011. I'm not deleting, but I've completely stopped using it outside of the occasional google search that points to a Reddit thread. Lemmy is a legitimate and viable alternative to Reddit at this point, and apps like Wefwef are leagues better than the official reddit app

It makes me sad but I was part of the digg fiasco and switched to reddit. I was hours... And hours a day and pretty active.

I haven't been back to reddit since it killed the Sync for Reddit app. 100% Lemmy now.

I started on Digg in the summer/fall of 2005 right around the launching point of Diggnation; maybe 5-10 episodes in. A friend got me introduced to that. I was there until September of 2010 and then made the move to reddit as a part of the Great Digg Migration, and now find myself here on the fediverse

I've never been a very active contributor, but still felt connected and enjoyed seeing the conversations and links that people were sharing

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.

13 years on Reddit.

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.

15 year account and happy with Lemmy here. Only going back to Reddit once in a while to make sure all my comments remain deleted.

15+ years for me. Idon't miss it as much as I thought I would.

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.

I was in the 13 year club, and most of that was using RIF.

Deleted mine a month ago.

I don't miss it one bit.

Nearly 14 years, right after digg imploded.

12 here. Hate it, they had a good thing and they fucked it up for personal gain. I'm never gonna make amends with it.

Over 10 years on the account, 1 or 2 extras of lurking before that.

I'm gone for the most part, I don't ever open Reddit just to scroll since I jumped to Lemmy, but I do still add "Reddit" at the end of my Google searches because search engines have become useless and that's still the best way I know to get somewhat unbiased replies on just about any topic.

Late to the party on this post, but I was a 14 year user. I was ready for a change as the communities I had subscribed to had stayed pretty static and was grateful for a reason to go and find an alternative. I spend less time doom scrolling as I have not yet installed an app on my phone and I think I may keep it that way.

Thanks to all of you for being here and making this a vibrant place.

'ello there! I have my 11 year badge on my primary reddit account. I haven't bothered to go back to reddit, and I don't really have much desire. I'm splitting my time pretty evenly between Lemmy and Squabbles.

I also appreciate that neither of these communities have been completely co-opted by psycho alt-right nutjobs like Voat was.

edit: my biggest regret was that I was something like 12k comment karma away from making it to centuryclub :( that was kind of a big deal as a casual poster who usually showed up to threads way too late.
