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.
It would have been 13 years this year, but the API changes killed Boost and after also killing Reddit Gifts for failing to turn a profit when it started as a community thing, plus the new redesign to make it look more like the Facebook feed, plus having to rely on automoderator codes instead of having properly integrated mod tools, plus the fact that they keep rolling out Place again instead of coming up with more original ideas like The Button, plus allowing the_donald and creepshots to exist for so long…
…yeah.
