Yup. Surprisingly painless, pleasant even.

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.
15 year Reddit user. Had my account banned for suggesting that a pedophile should have been taken out behind a building and shot. Up until that point, I hadn't even had so much as a suspension. It started with being banned from subs I never visited or commented in. I remember I had gotten into an argument with a mod and was accused of racism. To prove my racism, they used the "N word count bot", which came up with zero uses of the word in the entire 15 years I was on Reddit, which I think hurt the other person's feelings. His account had multiple uses. I really didn't think much of it and left Reddit alone for a couple of days due to being busy with work. When I went to log back in, I saw that I had been suspended for 30 days, and a week after that, I was permanently banned. Personally, think a lot of it had to do with my being subscribed and was active in some subs that were in direct contrast to Reddit's majority political ideology. I was told there are ways around a Reddit ban but I don't care enough to put in that much work to make another account.
I was there 11 years and only used the Reddit is Fun app. Kind of surprised how easily I was able to just cut it out of my life.
14 years and they're welcome to it
12-13ish years. Deleted at start of June protests because I didn't expect reddit to budge at all
17 years. Probably the only site other than Google I've visited almost every day since then. It's extremely depressing to lose Reddit after all that time. But I'm enjoying Lemmy, and hoping we can grow it Digg-exodus-style.
11 years. Left and didn't look back.
12 years here. It's out my social media rotation.
I was on there for 10 years. Fuck Steve Huffman.
I joined in early 2012. In 2015 I became a mod on an active created by a friend for our EDM scene in a fairly major city. I had a Google calendar linked to FB event pages and added events multiple times a week and also helped mod a sub for a record label out of said city with now some widely known national artists. I’ve since moved states and stopped using Reddit after the blackout/API stuff. I miss it.
I used Reddit since 2012 until spez destroyed third party clients
I had just had my eleventh cake day
I'm trying to remember. I know I had an app for it way back when I had an iPod touch, probably when I had the 3rd gen one.
Can't remember what year it was, but alien blue was still its own thing before it got bought out. I wanna say 12ish years? Can't remember for sure, but pretty sure I'm over 10.
Yup, when Joey stopped working I tried the Reddit app for a few days, but it was just awful.
So here I am.
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.
15 years for me. I'm not the type to go scorched earth, so I'll still pop in briefly from time to time from a Google search or to look for something specific, but I don't use Reddit for near-constant idle browsing anymore, like I used to. Now I have Lemmy for that, although it would probably be healthier to just cut out social media altogether (or severely reduce it).
Yeah I hauled ass this year. Logged out and will not go back. It went from decent for years to cumbersome garbage real quick.
Digg refugee, I've had a couple 10+ year accts until the doxxing. Then I started flipping accts on the regular to prevent that. Modded a few subs until the admin IP banned me for being critical of the direction they are going.
So now I'm here and to be frank a lot happier.
Adding my hand 12+ years
Ten-year club trophy. Logged out of Reddit as the public spat with Apollo was in full swing. Only visiting if a search leads me there.
Just made 10 years. Gatdamm I have 184,742 karma over there. I didn’t realize lol
I think 10-12 years, I’m not sure, I’ve had a couple accounts over the years.
I do end up back now and then, so many searches lead back to Reddit. But I’m not scrolling anymore.
raises hand
12 years, left when Apollo stopped working and went to Lemmy.world... left to another instance today when they started blocking certain communities
BE My account was I believe 11 years old when I deleted it right after all of the Apollo stuff went down. I used the app on my macs and mobile devices.
I haven't officially "quit" Reddit but I am trying to migrate over here. I was with Reddit for 12 years. To be honest the API changes alone would not have made me leave. What drove me away was the fact that so many users were protesting the changes and the admins response was "well we don't need you anyway." I don't want to be part of a site that doesn't care what its users want.
Hopefully enough people who come over to lemmy donate to keep things running with the influx of new users.
Speaking of, is there any "preference" to the three ways of donating on the site? Do any of them have lower fees or anything?

Bacon it was my jam. Spent 11 years there. Only slightly miss it to be honest.
Here here
8 years, deleted July 1. I kept a "throwaway" account to lurk when needed. Oh, the irony.
13+ here
I joined reddit in 2009 after lurking for a year. Loved it for most of the time. Account now deleted :(
I made my reddit account when my ex was in the hospital having my daughter. I was on the site for a year or two before that, lurking. All deleted now.
That would be me.
