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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

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.

Approaching 11 years

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think I hit my 12 year cake day shortly before leaving for good, and that wasn't my first account.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

11 years here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

15+ years here. I would login and check exactly but I don't wanna give em any traffic 😆

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well over 10 years. About 4 years ago found myself missing the "old" Reddit experience, lighthearted, tons of memes, silly, and interesting. Feels more like that on Lemmy.

Present, 11 year old account when I left. Not "deleted" because I'm lazy, but certainly abandoned.

14 years and change. Haven't been back since blackout day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's good to be on the old internet. 10+ years, 300k nuked karma. I still have my account to take care of some subs but the activity is here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

11 or 12 years here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

16 years for me. They took away the app I preferred (joey) so I went somewhere else.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I was at about 12 when I left

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

12 or 13 years? Don't really remember or care!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Joined in 2009. Pretty much never browse Reddit anymore other than specific scenarios.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not sure how long exactly, but probably more than 10 years. And I'm gone!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My main account over there isn't that old, but I've been using the site off/on for probably at least that long. I mainly was a reader/lurker over there for years as I didn't really feel like posting as at the time almost everything I posted got downvoted for some reason. Then over time as I got older I cared less about that and started posting more. Last I checked I think my karma was 100,000-something.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

8 years for me. Cut my usage down by around 95% I'd say. Only when I need something specific do I go back

Honestly I don't mind as much as I thought I'd do

Would have 12 years in August here. There's some fandom-centric communities that I miss from my old reddit sub list, but honestly I'm thoroughly enjoying lemmy. I mostly stuck to the official app and the desktop old reddit before dropping it for lemmy, It's so damn nice not seeing He Gets Us ads or casino ads like every 4-5 posts. I left reddit just about when they announced the API cost changes and was like, welp that's going to kill everything. I got an email about Lemmy SDF because of my Mastodon and basically said hey might as well jump ship now and check this thing out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Reporting for duty, sir!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

What's got 2 thumbs and is this guy?

THIS GUY!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My longest running account will be 10 years old in December.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

5y, I really miss Unexpected sub

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I was a 10 year lurker. Actually post a bit on here..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Almost 18 years for me, I left Digg for Reddit over the HD DVD thing. It was really hard to leave.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

14 year account, I'm done with reddit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Over 10. I left for Voat, then it died, then I didn't come back for a long time. Started enjoying it again and now I'm done.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

8 years here, 90% left

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure I was at 11 years. Not going back to check

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My oldest account is just under 14 years old. I only visit to check on the status of my data download, and check on one sub once a month.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

had an 11 year old account. Deleted it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Me, the modding had become a real quagmire.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Would have been 12 years this month, I haven’t deleted my account yet but I haven’t been back since end of June. While I do miss some of my old communities, I loved Apollo and Alien Blue before that and won’t go back. I posted pretty frequently and most always from mobile. I’m working on deleting the old account here soon.
