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.
About 8 years or so. It was the only social media platform I wasted time with, and I left as soon as Boost stopped working (can’t wait for Boost for Lemmy!)
I haven’t had any real urge to go back (aside from technical advice a couple times), and I’ve been happy playing around on Lemmy since then.
About 7 years for me (I think); but also waiting for Boost. Haven’t gone back to reddit since I switched (beside dumping my awards on “fuck spez” posts real quick), and I’m more than content here. But I also can’t wait for Boost
