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.

    Same here. 11 years on reddit and most of my commenting was politics and news.

    I drastically cut down my subreddit list to just a few niche interest groups. I don’t post anymore.

    Reddit used to be my community, now it’s just a place I glance at while drinking my morning tea.

    I’ve created accounts on both lemmy.world and Mastodon, and am browsing kbin, squabbles, tildes and discuit a couple times a week just to see if they are growing and what the current topics are. (Yes I know having accounts on both lemmy.world and Mastodon is somewhat redundant but I don’t want to combine them. They each have different purposes.)
