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.

    Also 12. I’ve checked back on my previous posts a few times and I received swathes of downvotes on previously upvoted material, likely because I posted in local liberal communities that got overrun by 4channers that spew hate speech and downvote anyone who promotes collectivism as an ideal.

    I’m on the Lemmy liferaft to stay.

      I’m hoping this can stick. I’m also experimenting with turning on visibility of vote counts. I find myself too toxically impacted by a stupid number on my posts and comments that I think impacts my sense of self.
