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.
About 11 years, here. I only go back occasionally to look at some communities that haven’t really moved here yet that are important to me, but other than that, I steer clear of Reddit and I prefer Lemmy now.
11 years for me, mostly lurking. Happy to move away as it has declined heavily in the last half decade. Lemmy is such a breath of fresh air! I would love to see a continued mass exodus.
Me. I was either 10 years or very close to it. The loss of Relay was one thing, but the general douchebaggery that followed was the end for me.
Nearly 14 years, right after digg imploded.
15+ (?) years…
I have not deleted anything but the Reddit app is gone and I have not logged in again since the API thing.
Lemmy is just as good (just a wee bit smaller) and I’ll be investing my (sometimes positive) energy here.
Had an 11 year old account.
All in all nearly 10 year though my last account is 7+ years old and this was the time I actually used the site and didn’t just lurk. My last account isn’t deleted, I just don’t use it anymore. Lemmy at first seemed more complicated, but I stayed for the communication culture and the fediverse concept . I’d love to see lemmy grow to a reddit successor but I doubt it will get this big. Then again I wonder if this isn’t for the positive. Also it is really refreshing not to be suffocated under rage- and clickbait by some malicious algorithm.
11+ years here. Deleted and haven’t looked back. I miss my crafting and witchy communities but I don’t regret leaving.
I was a 10 year lurker. Actually post a bit on here…
12+ Slashdot/Digg exodus redditor here. Quit two weeks before Apollo shut down. Not gonna support Spez being a douche.
I left at the start of the blackout which was 2 weeks under 10 years for me.
11 years+ here. Left almost a month ago.
I’m right around the 10 year mark. Mostly lurked.
i delted my 12+ yr. account.
11 years haven’t been back since boost died
