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.

Been on reddit since ~2010, and paid Premium without interruption ever since they had it. I stopped paying Premium and logged out (haven’t deleted my account tbh, but logging out made it annoying enough to interact with the site that it worked for me 😆).
And I found out: Less social media in my life is good. I browse Lemmy some, Tildes some, Firefish/Mastodon some, but honestly, far far less than I used to, and that’s cool. Cheers to spez fixing my social media addiction! 🥂
