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.
14 years redditor here.
I kept my account and still (rarely) interact with some niche subs. The bulk of my social activity is here now, and if these niche topics were represented on the Fediverse, I’d gladly move on.
So I guess, to Reddit, I don’t look like I’m truly gone since my account is still active somewhat. But my level of engagement has dramatically fallen.
What are your niches?
Credible defense, comicbooks, and a bunch of local subs and language subs around the world as I travel around quite a bit. Some of these have a Fediverse presence but it’s not quite there yet. Rooting for them, though!
TIL about credible defence community. Thanks!
