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.
In with the Digg exodus, out when I learned my favorite 3rd party app was shutting down(Sync, though I’m excited for the Lemmy version!). It’s disappointing to learn Reddit’s leadership views communities as their property, and their disdain for volunteer moderators and 3rd party apps.
Very excited to have Sync on my phone again. Should be coming any day now.
There’s a pre-registration link available on the Play Store.

Same in when digg messed it up. Was looking for a way out of my Reddit scrolling addiction and this helped. Now I do a few 5-10 minutes scrolls per day.
Same here, 11+ years ex-Digg and a Sync user for the last 5 years, previously RIF. I deleted all my Reddit posts, still dip in to catch up with some niche subs, but looking forward to seeing my new home develop.
