Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
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.

I don't know how long I was on Reddit but it was for quite a while before the Digg exodus happened, so it might be 17 years? I had settled on RIF as my front end and was quite upset at the loss of the third party clients. It was apparent that Reddit was decaying for years, but being on the third party apps and knowing how to curate your subreddits helped a lot. I've been back over there a few times on old.* but it's not the same. Us old-timers are not the audience they want these days and frankly, I don't want to be the audience they want so good riddance.
It's crazy to think I was just an infant when lots of you folk joined reddit.
