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.
Unless it’s UFOs, psychology, communism, AI, public transportation, or really anything on the front page. All I see are different flavors of mentally ill shut-ins having flame wars on clickbait here
And of course there are the trolls!
Even they are still properly trolly around here! How nostalgic! Maybe not even a bot.
It happens, but less for now, because of the current pioneer demographic.
