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.
Relative newbie, 7 years.
I changed accounts often but I was using the site from around 2010/11
I deleted sync off my phone, I still check on desktop but my usage has gone down 90% easily. Same with Twitter.
The alternatives are great, but they are still young and don't have the userbase in the niche subs I frequent.
I was a reddit user for around 7 years, deleted my account once 1 year ago (due to becoming privacy conscious) and tried to minimize my use of it, with occasional relapses.
I was mostly using reddit via libreddit frontend as I would mostly lurk and rarely comment, and because of the loading speed of the website (no need to load and run tons of javascript code every time), but since the API changes I can probably only look at 1 subreddit and around 3 posts before reaching the rate limit. Needless to say, this killed my main way to interact with the platform and seeing that lemmy got a lot more people now, I made an account here yesterday.
9 years counts right? I havent left-left but I spend most of my time here now.
Me.
Digg refugee, I've had a couple 10+ year accts until the doxxing. Then I started flipping accts on the regular to prevent that. Modded a few subs until the admin IP banned me for being critical of the direction they are going.
So now I'm here and to be frank a lot happier.
Been using it for about 12 years. I deleted all my comments, but haven't closed my account (due to work reasons - I'm in a Comms position, and keeping tabs on all SM is pretty important). However, no new comments, up/down votes, shares, nothing of the like.
My primary access was through Boost (Android), and I don't visit it much except for finding weird tech-support items, reviews/comparisons, and a few other unique pieces of content that will eventually migrate elsewhere.
Edit: I've also stopped scrolling and consuming personal content as much, now that I don't use reddit regularly.
I deleted my account but I think I was around 12 years
Ten-year club trophy. Logged out of Reddit as the public spat with Apollo was in full swing. Only visiting if a search leads me there.
Just made 10 years. Gatdamm I have 184,742 karma over there. I didn’t realize lol
BE My account was I believe 11 years old when I deleted it right after all of the Apollo stuff went down. I used the app on my macs and mobile devices.
12 year Redditor here. Nevermore...

Yep, a few days after the protests petered out. Nuked my account there. Life's been better since.

I probably started roughly in 2013. I was already pretty tired of the site. It's been a shell of what it was for quite a while. This was the last straw for me to go to the effort of finding something else.
Hi
I was on for over a decade and they did a great job driving me away.
