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.

Over 10. I left for Voat, then it died, then I didn't come back for a long time. Started enjoying it again and now I'm done.

10 years here and started with BaconReader. I had a long, 5-ish year hiatus for no particular reason from Reddit and started using it again in 2019 on the official app.

I just logged back into Reddit via RedReader to find communities to join here on Lemmy via Liftoff. I'm hoping more Redditors have enough of the BS and migrate here!

It's me. I'm in this picture

[–] PFShady@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I lurked for a few years before making an acct. It was just over 11 when I deleted it.

[–] We1chy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Me. Not quite 10 years, but close at 9 and some months.

[–] peneipenisini@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I dunno... 2009ish

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I forget what year it happened in but I started reddit with the Digg migration.

Around 11 years here, still using Reddit but slowly making the transition to Lemmy. Has been a great experience so far, I hope more people migrate so we can have more active communities.

14y 6mo. I only logged in just now for the first time in 4 weeks to actually check how long I was a member.

I left Digg and headed over to Reddit for similar reasons.

I sense a pattern...

Reporting for duty, sir!

[–] myusernameisokay@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Joined in 2009. Pretty much never browse Reddit anymore other than specific scenarios.

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

9 years on my last account. About 13 or 14 years on my first one that was doxxing me

[–] FreeloadingSponger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Present. My oldest account just had it's 13th cake day.

[–] Thea_C@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] scarcer@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

12 or 13 years? Don't really remember or care!

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

16 years for me. They took away the app I preferred (joey) so I went somewhere else.

[–] ChamrsDeluxe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

What's got 2 thumbs and is this guy?

THIS GUY!

[–] KTVX94@wirebase.org 2 points 1 year ago

Should be 10 years soon. I honestly haven't had any issues personally, but spez fell really low with his claims and decisions and I don't like the corporate stink. Better do something before it does affect me personally, and help the Fediverse grow.

[–] koka@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

10 years here. Feels refreshing !

[–] nephs@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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

There since 2009. That's about when I started mainlining the internet. Glad to watch it burn here with all of you. Cheers!

[–] BellaDonna@mujico.org 2 points 1 year ago

Almost 18 years for me, I left Digg for Reddit over the HD DVD thing. It was really hard to leave.

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

had an 11 year old account. Deleted it

Yeah, it’s been about that long.

[–] Typeo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I be gone. Miss the main content streams I enjoyed for sports but I think the community will build up here.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure I was at 11 years. Not going back to check

[–] PeckerBrown@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

11 years here.

[–] plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah me too. This place is cool. And my instance has neat stuff in the local feed too.

[–] sapetoku@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

12+ years user, I nuked all my accounts when the 3rd party apps died. I still follow a few subs that have no replacement yet.

Those events right before summer reddit ensure its a smoldering pile of rotting compost.

[–] RavenFellBlade@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yo. And the more time that passes, the less I miss it.

[–] AvrgJoe@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm a 10 yearer. Shame, I loved Rif.
