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 had to go and check. 11+ years it seems - oh how the time flies. I was pretty much a lurker so I didn’t bother with cleaning up my history. I also never used Digg - I guess I’ve grown up during the period that Digg was sinking and Reddit gained it’s popularity.

    Yet it’s weird how easily I could replace Reddit with Lemmy after such time. Sure, there isn’t an Apollo replacement on iOS but to be honest, I don’t currently even want one. Most of the communities have started migrating here as well so I’m not missing anything relevant after all.
