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.

    11-12 years since my first post on reddit, 13-15 years since i first started lurking.

      Same. Joined in 2008 but only lurked, became a full-time redditor during the Great Digg Exodus in 2010. After over 13 years of dedicated redditing, they banned all of my accounts, because I reported too many blatant advertisements disguised as normal posts for spam. “Report abuse”, they called it.

      Thankfully this happened mere weeks before Spez got greedy and fucked everything up. So I don’t even care. Fuck them. Even before the whole 3rd party app fiasco, I needed a good excuse to ditch that addictive shithole anyway.
