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.

    All in all nearly 10 year though my last account is 7+ years old and this was the time I actually used the site and didn’t just lurk. My last account isn’t deleted, I just don’t use it anymore. Lemmy at first seemed more complicated, but I stayed for the communication culture and the fediverse concept . I’d love to see lemmy grow to a reddit successor but I doubt it will get this big. Then again I wonder if this isn’t for the positive. Also it is really refreshing not to be suffocated under rage- and clickbait by some malicious algorithm.
