Reddit

That would be me.

Account just over 10 years, lurker for even longer. Don't really use it anymore except when following links etc

15y club here. Still go there from time to time, as there are very specific tech communities that I go to for help, unfortunately, but most of my social media is over here.

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.

13 years for me. Deleted my account July 1.

I joined reddit in 2009 after lurking for a year. Loved it for most of the time. Account now deleted :(

I was a couple months away from my 10th cake day, but I'd been lurking for a few years before actually registering.

13+ here

Here here

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?

Hola! 1 10 year account, 3 accounts at 3+ years.

I was on there for 10 years. Fuck Steve Huffman.

Can't remember when I first started, but I paid for RIF Platinum in May 2014. It's been steadily declining for years, and the new API changes were the final nail in the coffin for me.

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.

My Cake day is April 17, 2013.

I was maybe the most active for about the last ½-1 year before this August or something. Maybe 75-90% of my activity was lurking, viewing people's discussions.

I didn't notice negative events regarding Reddit before the API war in the summer. The subreddits I were at were nice places. I guess different communities/subreddits have conversations depending on the topic and how strick or active or casual or entertainment-only the community is about...so it's kinda obvious to me that some places have more decent talk and some of them get karma more easier with smaller effort and stuff...

I'm sad about the API stuff. I lost contact to Relay before they talked about the need of subscription, so they can handle the costs. I'm fine with that, on Relay's side - not angry about that. But my activity in Reddit took a plunge after I deleted Relay from my Android. Nowadays I go to Reddit only to read if there's info I need (problems with software etc) not found as easily some place else, but I don't create new stuff anymore.

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

About 13 years of daily use for me, I haven't been back since the blackout started.

I deleted my account of over 10 years and only go back anonymously for Ukraine and World News. I haven't found a replacement for those on Lemmy.

Yep was there 12-13 years and haven't been back since sync stopped working.

Around 15 years for me. I also took 3 10+ year old accounts too

8 Years myself

Sounding off. 15 years. Deleted that thing. Haven't looked back besides checking an occasional subreddit that decided to stay there.

11 years. Just got my notification that my account data is ready for downloading. When I get time, the next step is to replace all my comments and then delete them prior to deleting my account. No plans to return.

12 years. Shredded it when bacronreader stopped.

My Reddit account was 2013 so just about 10 years this month when I left.

12 years for me, bye bye! I really don't miss it much.

12-13ish years. Deleted at start of June protests because I didn't expect reddit to budge at all

12 years here. It's out my social media rotation.

Been on Reddit since 2011 while my main account is only 9 years old. Regardless, Lemmy is now my go-to except for smaller subreddits that haven't fully migrated yet. That said, I've noticed more and more activity in those lemmy communities so I have high hopes the trend continues!

14 years and they're welcome to it

Yup. Surprisingly painless, pleasant even.

👋

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.

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.

11 years haven't been back since boost died

All in all nearly 10 year though my last account is 7+ years old and this was the time I actually used the site and didn't just lurk. My last account isn't deleted, I just don't use it anymore. Lemmy at first seemed more complicated, but I stayed for the communication culture and the fediverse concept . I'd love to see lemmy grow to a reddit successor but I doubt it will get this big. Then again I wonder if this isn't for the positive. Also it is really refreshing not to be suffocated under rage- and clickbait by some malicious algorithm.

11+ years here. Deleted and haven't looked back. I miss my crafting and witchy communities but I don't regret leaving.

I was close, 9 years.

12 years. Used a cleaner trying to remove everything. Noticed that still shows up in searches and I can still find them. Disappointing.

So where do I sell the reddit account? Make something good come of it.

13 years. Adios.
