Should be 10 years soon. I honestly haven't had any issues personally, but spez fell really low with his claims and decisions and I don't like the corporate stink. Better do something before it does affect me personally, and help the Fediverse grow.

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
10 years here. Feels refreshing !
Yeah, it’s been about that long.
I be gone. Miss the main content streams I enjoyed for sports but I think the community will build up here.
11 years here.
Ten plus years. I'd have to log in to my account to check and it's not worth it. Quitting reddit was surprisingly easy.
Yeah me too. This place is cool. And my instance has neat stuff in the local feed too.
12+ years user, I nuked all my accounts when the 3rd party apps died. I still follow a few subs that have no replacement yet.
Those events right before summer reddit ensure its a smoldering pile of rotting compost.
11 years last year I checked, quit digg for reddit, quit reddit for lemmy, still lots to learn here. It's good to be here.
Mine was 12 coming up on 13. Haven't gone back since RIF stopped working.
Yo. And the more time that passes, the less I miss it.
Don't think quite a decade, but definitely the better half of one.
I don't browse Reddit at all anymore. Overwrote all my comments then deleted my accounts. I only go if a search lands me there for something specific as a guest in a private tab.
11 year refugee here.
15 Year club... sad to leave. But even sadder to see what has become. Don't plan on deleting my account but I won't renew my premium when it comes back up.
12 year old Reddit account here. Though, for every end there is a new beginning. Looking forward to seeing how Lemmy continues to grow. 🙂
I lost access to my first account, but it had to have been before 2008 when I created it--because I remember when they added user create-able subreddits (and I just checked at that happened in Jan 08). My second(or third?) account had 13 years on it when I left reddit.
So, I'd say I was on reddit for ~16-17 years.
My 12th Cake Day was last week, which is how I discovered I had the Reddit app still installed on a test device that was my daily-driver a few years ago
14 years here. Really optimistic for lemmy given how good the app story has become so fast. Hoping the user base keeps growing so that more niche communities hit a critical mass here.
I think I had 9, but a year or two of lurking prior.
I just googled it. Reddit was made in 2005. That means I must've started using it in 2007 or 8.
Almost 11 years with this username, a few years before that with another account that was linked to IRL stuff so decided to dedoxify myself.
I'm glad tbh - Reddit's been tailspinning as an experience since 2016 at least, it's just become much more aggressive about hating it's userbase and free labour recently.
Who can say, but I have largely left the site.
Around 8 years here. I really hate ads, so i just leave this shitty network.
My account had just turned 11 years old when all of this started. After RIF didn't let me log in any more I just quit reddint entkrelt. The RIF app itself is still installed in my phone though, as a memento. Even if reddit were to turn back on its decision, I don't think I'd want to go back at this point. Reddit is as good as dead for me.

12 years here sounding off
I've all but stopped using Reddit. I was extremely active for well over a decade.
12 years here
About 15 years here. Just couldn’t help it grow any bigger after what it became
Said it elsewhere sometime yesterday-- bout 13 years.
11 years
10 years for me!
Digg refugee, so my reddit account is 13 years old.
7 years, still there to moderate because only half of the community wanted to leave. But that's it, no more frontpage for me.
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.
13 years here. Not going back!
9 years on reddit. I didn't post a lot of content or comments but I read a lot. As soon as they killed 3rd party apps, I left. And switched to lemmy. I like it here. I think I already posted more comments here, than on reddit. I don't miss reddit at all.
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.
