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.
You're viewing a single thread.
I moved from Digg to reddit about 15 years ago, before the mass Digg exodus. For the last 5 years I was a paid reddit subscriber, mostly just because it was my most visited site and I wanted to support it.
Immediately after the API announcements, I cancelled my subscription and deleted all my posts. I also deleted most of my comments, and edited some to say I've moved to Lemmy. I planned to do that with all of them but I got bored.
There are some niche subreddits I still visit directly because I haven't found comparable communities, but I barely use the site at all anymore. I'm enjoying Lemmy and have also dipped back into RSS feeds for the first time in about a decade.
Unless something drastically changes, I will never post or comment there again. It's only a matter of time before I ditch it completely.
