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.

    Props to y’all, I have no clue when I started. I had one account, then I lost it because I forgot about it and made another one year or two later. And then another one cuz I wanted it to be linked to my user name in one of my games.

    All I remember was that I quit that game after 5+ years of playing, and I had account 1-2 years prior. And that quitting date was somewhere in 2019, so that’s like 2014ish or so, I guess I might have been a Redditor for almost 10+/- years.

    But yeah, since the blackout. I’ve been browsing Lemmy and Mastodon whenever Lemmy goes down. No regret, I’ve been enjoying the new experience and it got me to browse a bit less than usual due to less content overall but still it’s positive.

    Rooting hard for fediverse to go off!
