I was just browsing a thread on c/nfl looking for new mods. There were multiple 12+ year Redditors there offering to help.
Got me wondering. There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?
Edit: I didn’t expect this post to be as poignant as it became. There are so many of you… I can’t reply to everyone. I’m an 11 year user and have modded something like 150 subs over the years. I’m really sad too, but I’m finding that lemmy has most of the content I’m looking for, just needs more comments.
The API was a big blow, but removing awards on past posts and deleting coin balances is really dumb.
Came before digg as a lurker then left when unbearable and did it again now. I also found a bunch of new discord and communities to replace reddit. I didnt complain, just packed up my shit and left. Sucks for my professional outlets on there but meh, plenty of user groups that aren’t trying to monetize my contributions and own my thoughts.
