That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

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.

It makes me sad but I was part of the digg fiasco and switched to reddit. I was hours... And hours a day and pretty active.
I haven't been back to reddit since it killed the Sync for Reddit app. 100% Lemmy now.
I think I hit my 12 year cake day shortly before leaving for good, and that wasn't my first account.
9 years and 9 months currently.
I'm Spartacus.
8 Years+ due to being an account-less lurker. Still use for official subreddits and occasional boredom. I guess having twice the content is also fine.
12 here. Hate it, they had a good thing and they fucked it up for personal gain. I'm never gonna make amends with it.
15 year account and happy with Lemmy here. Only going back to Reddit once in a while to make sure all my comments remain deleted.
Me. Around 10-11 year account. It sucks since Reddit has been my landing page ever since joining. It really hurts that greed destroyed a good thing we have there.
But I feel that lemmy has something better to offer.
14 years. Mostly on RIF. Deleted my account on the last day. Enjoying it here. Many thanks to all of you!
12 year club, left when Apollo died, so far havenβt gone back.
Approaching 11 years
Checking in.
I haven't full left Reddit. Just using it less as i feel my way around the different alternatives. Some groups forums exist, other go by other names...Just a question of finding them.
11 years here
I started using reddit in 2011, I'm not a power user or major contributor by any means. But I'm a lonely person who got joy out of my small niche communities, and I fear those are the spaces that will take the longest to reappear on lemmy, especially because I have no interest in modding or starting any of them myself. I haven't actually subscribed to any communities on lemmy yet, I'm waiting for the sync app to be ready so things will be more like I'm used to using (aka easier) and then I'll log into old reddit on my computer, write down all the subreddits I'm subscribed to, and begin to see which ones exist on the different lemmy instances and start to make this place feel more like my lil internet home. I liked tithe reddit experience more when I first started using it, and I'm excited for lemmy to kind of have that feeling again, since it's new and small still.
I made it about 12 years or so on Reddit. There are days where I do miss the place, but Kbin and Tumblr have been quite adequate replacements, I find.
I also feel like both sites are much friendlier as a general rule.
I made my first account in 2007. I ended up deleting it before long but I made another in 2009, which I deleted a couple of weeks ago (after manually deleting every comment and post I had ever made).
Officially, I had just reached the 14-year club.
I torched all my content. In hindsight I shouldβve left a way for people to contact me in case Iβd posted a solution to a problem. But itβs too late now.
I pretty much left right after the digg redesign which turned the site into a tabloid. More than a decade ago.
Had an account since 2011. Deleted it mid July. Havenβt logged in once. I miss the metalcore community but thatβs about it.
I don't really want to think about it being that long, considering how quickly I up and left as soon as RiF was supposed to shut down. Not relying on Reddit for Google results is practically impossible for me.
12 years. Migrated to Reddit when Digg collapsed. Reddit slowly changed over the last 4 years or so, for the worse, even before the recent shenanigans. Glad to be here.
13 years of daily use. Reddit is dead in the water now.
Me. Even paid for Premium for a few years too cuz I wanted to support the site
13 years on Reddit.
Hit my 10 years mark in June. Left at the end of that month when Bacon Reader app could no longer function. Not looking back. I was an active browser, commenter, and occasional poster. Never molded tho.
My oldest, out of 5, account was 13y. I fucking loved reddit, but the last 5-6 years it was still easily 1-2hours a day but on tablet and phone. Always RIF. Since RIF is gone I only have being back on my porn account through browser.
I've been on Reddit since 2012, but I haven't quite quit Reddit completely. It fills the same role as twitter now, where I go there to interact with specific communities but never scroll through the front page any more.
11 years for me.
12+ years here. Deleted all my content and account.
God knows how long I'd been on Reddit. Easily 10+ and multiple accounts later.
Not quite 10, but close. I joined the site in 2014. Permanently deleted my account at the end of June.
Iβm old hat. I joined during the Digg vs Reddit wars of the early 2000s. Glad to see a new contender on the block.
Raises hand. ~13 year old account, just deleted it and basically havenβt gone back and donβt intend to.
About 14 years or so for me. Was starting to get a bit bored of that place anyway. I've been enjoying Lemmy a lot so far.
Just checked, apparently my first account is actually a bit over 10 years old. I haven't fully cut ties with reddit yet, but I'm interested in Lemmy, and participating a little.
I intend to be an annoying cunt on reddit constantly saying "Lemmy is better" whenever that statement can actually pass as true to a general audience. And I fully intend to violate the fuck out of the "you can't make a new account when we ban you"-rule if I end up getting banned for it.
I had been lurking since ~2011. Probably racked up around 15 comments total, but it was a near-daily visit.
12 almost 13 years, discovered it just before the digg Exodus. Didn't know digg, never used Twitter, not much Facebook presence. Before Reddit it was gamefaqs, icanhascheeseburger Ctrl alt del and wimp. Now it's gamefaqs steam and Lemmy.
I joined before Obama was president so that's checks calendar 15+ years.
~14 years. Between the Fediverse and sites, like Squabbles, Mastodon, Lemmy of course, kbin, and Beehaw, I can browse more content than Reddit while individual sites build up more content. Now I use Reddit only about 1% as much as I did in the past, usually only when a Google search directs me there for a quick answer. Deleting my account felt really good too.
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..
12 Years, fuck you u/Spez.
About 15 here
