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.

    13 years on Reddit. I was part of the Great Digg Exodus… now the Great Reddit Exodus.

    I deleted all my comments on Reddit, all of my posts, and then toasted my user account just before the API deadline. Not looking back.

      13 years, but I didn’t come from Digg. My pal in college showed it to me.

      I noticed one day that the entire front page was imgur links. It was a steady decline.

      It was still okay when I nuked my account, but I wanted to spend less time on social media, anyway.

      I like Lemmy well enough, but I don’t spend as much time on it as I did reddit/Facebook.

      Dropped both. Pop in to the fediverse a couple times a day on my phone and pop out.

      Learning Linux. Not missing a lot of my old spots like I thought I would.
