Got access to something for that, but I didn't really stick around or use it much. But if that counts, about 9 years.

Still, I think at least 5 years for real, but I have changed servers quite a few times, so I am not really sure.

There were obviously people already there in good numbers, and I felt late to the party in April 2017. People rushed in, people rushed out. Nov ‘22 was the peak influx for sure- I think that was when Musk did a particularly onerous thing that was a final straw for lots of Twitter holdouts. It was an interesting time, and I’m glad it’s worked out this long.

I checked it out in covid, got really confused and bored, and left multiple times to go back to IG/FB/Twitter.

I go here when I don't want to be overstimulated on the corporate social media sites, which could be once a day or once a quarter depending on my mood.

Here is the longest on a single instance.
Overall over 4 years.

Took a while to find the software I prefer - Misskey Forks then Akkoma.

Netscape's right. In the English language 1 to 3 years implies the inclusion of every day of the third year up until the 4th.
