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.
Yup. Can’t remember the exact date because I deleted those accounts, but from a glance at emails it was no later than 2010.
I now waste my time here, and occasionally look at a subreddit as a logged-out user for certain informational threads (eg. the pinned driver discussion thread atop /r/NVIDIA, or the pinned release discussion thread atop /r/UnRAID).
Hopefully in time, more of this discussion will migrate away from Reddit. I deleted my phone apps and my browser bookmark, so I no longer autopilot my way there.
