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.
11 years ago I switched to Reddit from Fark. Before that I switched to Fark from Slashdot (mid 5 digit user ID).
I haven't quit Reddit completely, but I've drastically reduced my usage and will likely continue to reduce further as Lemmy and/or other options grow.
Basically the same as I did with previous sites I frequented. I occasionally check Fark and Slashdot, but I'm far from a frequent reader and rarely contribute any further.
It may take time, and obviously won't be as fast as the death of Digg, but spez has likely effectively killed Reddit. It just doesn't know it yet.

Holy hell, this sounds very familiar...oh yeah, this was the same route I took as well. Not sure when I left /. though.
