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.
Kinda? I was a lot younger then, and this feels way more left wing politically now. Maybe I just got more conservative as I aged, or the internet got more left wing. Or maybe a little of both.
Or, maybe, the world is more liberal than you’ve been led to believe as your circle of influence grew smaller as you got older.
Stopping in to drop a semi-ironic “this^”
10 years ago people would write “this^” without a trace of irony on Reddit. So you are kinda ruining the experience by being semi-ironic.
Only semi-ruining tho. Life is about balance ;)
Reality has a liberal bias
