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 joined Reddit 13 years ago when Digg made their site unusable. I joined Lemmy 1 month ago when Reddit made their site unusable (on mobile). History repeats itself...

    I suspect that those who joined reddit during the Digg exodus are more likely to have come to Lemmy.

    what makes you think lemmy will replace Reddit?

    Reddit probably won't implode like Digg did because they got a lot of users used to their terrible app, and power users can still use old.reddit and Revanced to patch the third party apps. But enough people have left Reddit that Lemmy is now it's own thing, and unless Lemmy screws it up badly, it should only keep growing.
