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.

    Don’t know my exact age and can’t check as I post this because I refuse to visit reddit on my phone via anything but Apollo. But I’m pretty sure I’m 10+.

    I do miss it. Once a month or so I’ll go peek at a couple smaller communities/game communities I was in that don’t have a Lemmy equivalent yet.

    But I don’t comment anymore. I canceled my reddit premium the moment Apollo mentioned shut down. And I learned how to use the stronger mode of uBlock Origin to ensure they get as little from me as possible.

    The site as I see it os shattered and barely functional. I can let what I’m used to shine through when I really want to by enabling certain domains to pass through uBlock Origin and NoScript. But tbh the shattered state is kind of fittingly metaphorical.
