For how long have you been on the #Fediverse?

[samerion@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@jwildeboer I wasn't sure if it was less than 3 years or more than 3 years, so I checked the join date on my oldest account. It's been 6 years. Damn.

[disorderlyf@todon.eu]

@jwildeboer We talking how long have I been active or how long have I had an account on $fedi_service ?

[siobibblecoms@tech.lgbt]

@jwildeboer
Aug 15, 2025, I guess I'm a baby mastodon user.

[jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net]

@disorderlyf You decide

[lad_hallo@mastodon.social]

@jwildeboer Since "Musk day" and never looked back...

[amicalucis@mastodon.online]

@jwildeboer
I've been here for almost six years

[frankwalter@c.im]

@jwildeboer I’m new to Mastodon but old to social media. The others have … an unpleasant user experience. Wanted something different. And my wife made me do it. As usual she was right.

[focaccina@troet.cafe]

@jwildeboer apparently almost 3.5 years, i wouldn't have thought! Though quite some time was rather to completely inactive.

[disorderlyf@todon.eu]

@jwildeboer I put more than five years because I think my .social account was made in 2019/2020. I first made an account before Lunduke fell off the deep end and reported on Mastodon existing. I think that was in 2017/2018? I don't want to think about how long ago that was...

[lebensstrom@mastodon.social]

@jwildeboer In April I've been for 8 years in Fediverse

[lebensstrom@mastodon.social]

@crossgolf_rebel Wooow...🥳 @jwildeboer

[andersgeek@wehavecookies.social]

@jwildeboer Technically, 10 years since account creation on Mastodon.social was in 2016, but active for 3+ years, since mid-/late-2022.

[zash@fosstodon.org]

@jwildeboer Seems I was on Identi.ca in 2010

[crossgolf_rebel@moppels.bar]

@Lebensstrom@mastodon.social its a lot of time
@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net

[lebensstrom@mastodon.social]

@crossgolf_rebel Oh yes @jwildeboer

[follpvosten@karp.lol]

@jwildeboer originally joined in 2018, but only started to seriously be active from 2022 when I started self-hosting, so I have picked 3-5.

[kkarhan@c.im]

@jwildeboer long enough…

[netscapenavigator@social.vivaldi.net]

@jwildeboer

This poll is kind of flawed since anyone here who has been here for 3 years has 2 options in the poll (both 1 to 3 and 3 to 5).

A better poll would have been:

* Less than 1 year
* 1 to 3 years
* 4 to 5 years
* More than 5 years

[jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net]

@NetscapeNavigator Yes, everything I post attracts a „yes, but“ or sealioning reply. I’m used to that. More than 4000 votes seem to indicate that people are OK with the options presented so I guess you are a bit on the pedantic side here

[netscapenavigator@social.vivaldi.net]

@jwildeboer

The poll is only for fun -- I understand that, but it is not accurate no matter how many people vote.

Because as someone who has been here for 3 years, I could select earthier option since you've given me two choices for the same answer.
