I joined in 2013, left in 2019. I remember watching what was foreign and corporate manipulation of threads via sockpuppet accounts increase over time. After that, every thread posted by an admin whose name was popping up as admin for several subreddits started eating at my impression that this was an "organic" community.

Signed off after killing my account in 2019. I lurked on and off without an account via 3rd party apps and the desire to rejoin the fray never returned.

I've happily been a part of the fediverse since on Mastodon and Pixelfed.
