Just over 9 years, I over-estimated a smidge, still, approaching a decade tho.

I swore I joined with my first account in 2013 or 2014, I guess not, it was 2015.

(did a lot of searching to find dates and checked the other account)

A lot of other interesting stuff I hadn't see on the know your meme page and Pao's wiki. Her sexual discrimination lawsuit(Ellen Pao v. Kleiner Perkins) spawned a set of what look like copycats, for example.

While the trial was taking place, a gender discrimination suit was filed against Twitter by Tina Huang, alleging that the company unlawfully favored men in the promotion process[67] and a suit alleging sexual and racial discrimination was filed against Facebook by Chia Hong.[68] Law professor Joan Williams commented that it would have been "quite a coincidence" if these actions were not influenced by Pao's suit.[69][70] More broadly, employment lawyers described an increase in the number of women coming forward with claims of gender inequality and the term Pao effect was coined to describe the resulting increase in lawsuits.

How strange, but I'm not one for tinfoil hats.
