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.

11 years here. Made the jump shortly after the protests died down and Huffman made it clear that he didn't care who the changes impacted.

11 years for me

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

10 years on the spot.

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

10 years, haven't used it at all since Sync stopped working. I'm enjoying Lemmy, not very many niche communities but I'm sure that will catch up

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

10 years for me, just had enough

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

I've been on Reddit for 10+, but I haven't actually left yet, this isn't quite a full replacement for me.

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

Just over a decade on reddit. Still miss how it was. Hopeful for lemmy and fediverse future

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

Not sure how long I was there, but well over ten years. Deleted my account and am done.

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

13 years... Kind of glad to be done with it but I miss some of the niche communities.

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

15 years here

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

Can't be bothered the check but close to 10 years, fuck that site!

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

12 years and I am not missing it.

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

I was a bit over 12 if I remember right.

I don't miss it at all.

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

12 years. Wiped my account and deleted it. Even the porn alt

My reddit account is a little shy of 10 years, I think I might be at 8 or 9. I haven't really commented on Reddit for a while. I won't delete my account completely, at least not yet. There's some more subs on Reddit that haven't moved to Lemmy/KBin yet, and of course I could be the one to bring them over and create a copycat, but that's a bit of responsibility and work. I am kind of surprised how populated Lemmy is already though.

14 years. Reddit has been shit for a while tho.

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

8 years, fully done with reddit now.

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

My reddit account is 14 years old. I can't say how I found Reddit but I know I was there before the Digg migration.

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

11 years. Gun was already aimed as his foot, but the Spez went and pulled the trigger. Happy to be off reddit now.

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

Just checked, I've registered my account... 9 years ago. Welp lol

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

My first account is a little over 12 years old. I catch myself opening up reddit everyone once and a while but have basically completely left at this point. Hadn't been happy with what it's become for years and the most recent shit storm just seemed like a good time to call it quits. 7ish years ago I used to spend a ton of time on the investing subreddits, such as the now notorious and huge wallstreetbets.

The communities I enjoyed have all been overrun and ruined. Reddit became a victim of its own size long ago. Everything is just lowest common dominator crap now. The investing subreddits like wallstreetbets are the most obvious to me. They're just large scale pump and dumps for crypto and meme stocks now. It's ridiculous.

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

12 years I think for my imekon account on reddit.

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

I literally only go back for a couple of the NSFW reddits like once a week. Other than that it is dead to me.

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

11 years+ here. Left almost a month ago.

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

I am one. I had six Reddit accounts, a couple were throwaways. I started at Slashdot then Digg then Reddit. I’ve since deleted all my most popular posts (that caused PMs on the regular) then deleted the accounts afterwards.

I still view content on there but with no account using AdGuard and Sink It (removes Reddits BS “download app” prompts). I also browse incognito to not leave behind tracking cookies.

I’ve made sure I’m worthless traffic to them for the content that Lemmy doesn’t have.

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

+1 here.

I used the official Reddit app for some time before switching between Apollo and Joey (depending on whether I had an iPhone at the time or an Android).

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

Still participate in a few communities sparingly. My activity is single points of what it used to be.

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

I had various accounts over the years, but switched from Digg, which must've been pre-2010.

It's sad, but most communities felt crowded with people jumping down other people's throats, so I don't miss many

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

I deleted my account but I think I was around 12 years

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

Around 12 years of reddit here. Completely purged my account and then deleted it. Haven't been back since.

Noticed that google which is basically a glorified reddit search engine, has become even worse

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

12 year Redditor here. Nevermore...

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

13 years. At least 1 purely as a lurker before that. Reddit has been in my life longer than my dad 🤣
