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.

    Got my first Reddit account in 2012 (which unfortunately was hacked in 2020 and got shut down). So I have used Reddit for 11 years at this point. I have been sick of the direction Reddit is going for a while, and when I realized Lemmy had started seeing some traffic I thought it was time to give this place a shot. So far Lemmy feels a bit like Reddit used to, which isn’t a bad thing.
