Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?

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.

Jhogenbaum,

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

digdilem,

I deleted my 11yr high karma account on 1st July. I had another before that which was a couple of years or so old.

I did it in protest but as an interesting side effect, my mental health has improved slightly. Guess actively engaging with toxicity does have an effect.

m4xie,

11 years. Very active commenter.

I’ve got high hopes for this place and the fedi-verse in general! I think the decentralized nature has so much potential.

Juu_lion,

Sadly I still have to visit reddit for various things. Mostly just for niche questions I have for Google that are best answered on Reddit. Which is a lot.

CooperHawkes,

Bacon it was my jam. Spent 11 years there. Only slightly miss it to be honest.

darreninthenet,

12 years, left when Apollo stopped working and went to Lemmy.world… left to another instance today when they started blocking certain communities

voxl,

raises hand

Thea_C,

12 years for me. Havent gotten back on since finding out about Lemmy. Reddit fonally becoming fully enshittified lead me to the fediverse, which actually gives me HOPE. I’m very happy to be here. I’m even happy to see the right wingers here, because if they de-federate from traditional social media they’ll ALSO BE BETTER OFF and hopefully stop being activley manipulated for 20 minutes.

nephs,

12 years here. Few thousand karma. Fuck the corporate shit.

Tamoato,

About a decade or so on Reddit. Most of it through Relay when I was an android user or Apollo for the last few years.

Deleted my account. Don’t really think about Reddit anymore unless it comes up on a news site or here.

I started my first account in 2012 because my ex husband was into it. I ask don’t understand “why does the narwhal bacon” but I slowly figured out reddit and recommended it to all of my friends. Sad to see it go; but I’m glad… except for a few small communities (Neopets, Microgrowery, AIDKE, shrimptanks, succshaming, etc.) it was turning into a cesspool of ads and manipulated visibility.

what was reddit, can someone describe it.. was that like napster or something.. but yeah, i had a 10 year account or something.. now they couldn't pay me to post to their site..

HerbSolo,

Just checked: oldest account i still have is 16 years old.

Winters44,

12 years here. Mostly as a lucker though. Will try to be more active on Lemmy for sure. Really sad to see what reddit has become.

Used RIF pretty much all the time, it was my go-to app.
