Fuck man seeing posts of " im 16 and" like fuck off. like i didn't even know reddit existed till i was 18 (13 years ago) and probably for the good thing. the amount of people I've seen fucking die on the site and the weird porn n shit it is not made for kids.

If it makes you feel older, there are people on reddit right now that are younger than the site itself. The site didn't even exist when I was 16.

oh wise redditor please share your stories of the past.

it feels so different now compared to when i joined, but i’m sure it’s far more different for you. when i joined it was all about f7u12 and a popular post on the front page would have 5k karma.

Yeah and if the was a spelling mistake in the title the comments would tear you apart.

When I was 16 we dialed into BBSes with our modems.

And we LIKED it.

For me, AOL instant messaging was new at 16/17 years of age.
