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.
They kept all my posts when I deleted mine, your protest will register more strongly if you delete it; at the moment they see you as inevitably coming back. And even more strongly if you get that thing that goes in and scrambles all your posts before you do.
I did delete all of my posts, and left a post on my profile saying why I’ve abandoned the account. It’s as good as worthless to them now.
