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 started my first account in 2012 because my ex husband was into it. I ask don’t understand “why does the narwhal bacon” but I slowly figured out reddit and recommended it to all of my friends. Sad to see it go; but I’m glad… except for a few small communities (Neopets, Microgrowery, AIDKE, shrimptanks, succshaming, etc.) it was turning into a cesspool of ads and manipulated visibility.
