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 joined back in 2012 because I found more information looking up stuff there than I did on Google. I was one of those poor people who would go on reddit on the computer then go on the app and then go back to my computer. When I caught wind of what was going on with the third party and how it broke my favourite app Bacon Reader, I only went back just to see how many more John Oliver pictures were posted on r/pics and if there was any additional posting on and about pitties.
