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 entirely left yet, but I’m using Lemmy more and more. Been on reddit for 15 years.
Im at 11 years, and yeah 80-90% of my Reddit was from Apollo/Alienblue anytime i picked up my phone I would habitually click the app. Now, Wefwef/Voyager sits in the app location where they used to and Lemmy when im on my phone.
10-20% of the time on Reddit was on my computer and I frequent SWE / SysAdmin / DataScience subs to pass time or for help at work looking at bugs as I work as a SWE.
