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 in early 2012. In 2015 I became a mod on an active created by a friend for our EDM scene in a fairly major city. I had a Google calendar linked to FB event pages and added events multiple times a week and also helped mod a sub for a record label out of said city with now some widely known national artists. I’ve since moved states and stopped using Reddit after the blackout/API stuff. I miss it.
