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 was an active Digger and Redditor in 2006-7 then migrated fully to Reddit post digg-tastrophy. I’ve honestly found it hard to stay away from Reddit but the existence of Lemmy world and the fact that I just discovered they took Aaron Schwartz off the list of cofounders is strengthening my resolve. Thank you all for being here.
Edited to add - I have no intention of returning to Reddit. The average person has precious little they can do to change the tides of fortune, but one of them is to consistently vote with their wallet. In this case, our attention is filling their wallet, so I remove my attention and clicks.
