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 think I’m about to hit the 15 year mark there. Still visit from time to time and probably will until the niche communities I like there are all replicated there but I’m already habituated to clicking Lemmy rather than Reddit when I’m bored.

    I won’t miss it, it has already been a shell of its former self for years. The community is still fine but always getting more mainstream. The UI is horrendous though, especially on a desktop browser with all the mouseovers always getting in your way to show you some useless profile pic of a user or sub. Won’t miss that for a second.
