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.
Would’ve been 10 years in August. Steady Boost user since I went to Android 5 years ago. Been giving it my best effort with the official app since the API nightmare. I gave up today and uninstalled Reddit; this is the first post I read on Lemmy and my first comment. Here’s hoping the melancholy will soon make way for renewed hopefulness for the future of the internet.
