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.
10+ years. Deleted my account, posts and comments. It was long and slow decision. It’s just not the same reddit I feel in love with. Carma whoring, vanity, both far right and far left junk, bots (hate bots), the terrible UI… Finally, when I could no longer use RIF, that was it. I actually worked on a reddit API based app a few years ago and this really pissed me off on that level too.
