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 haven’t officially “quit” Reddit but I am trying to migrate over here. I was with Reddit for 12 years. To be honest the API changes alone would not have made me leave. What drove me away was the fact that so many users were protesting the changes and the admins response was “well we don’t need you anyway.” I don’t want to be part of a site that doesn’t care what its users want.
Hopefully enough people who come over to lemmy donate to keep things running with the influx of new users.
Speaking of, is there any “preference” to the three ways of donating on the site? Do any of them have lower fees or anything?
