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.

    I originally joined Reddit in 2006, and became active full time after the Digg migration. My account was legally able to drive. I began using RIF somewhere during that time period, not sure exactly when, but probably over a decade ago at least.

    It had been eons since I enjoyed interacting on Reddit as much as I am currently enjoying interacting with all of you on Lemmy. This has been a breath of fresh air, and I won’t ever look back given the wholly unethical behavior of Steve Huffman as well as the decimation of third party applications due to the API changes. I joined Reddit when it was in its infancy, and I am happy to be here during the opening era of Lemmy.

    I want to see this project become something great, and I intend to do my best to be an active member of this community so that it can thrive. I was never one for posting content on Reddit for some reason, but that is something I would like to change after migrating over here. I think there is useful insight I can provide to niche communities that relate to my work and personal interests, and I will try to do a better job of submitting content to further the goals of those communities when I have the time.
