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 permabanned from /r/politics in a one two punch, first a 24 hour ban after I said someone’s comment was ‘disagreeable’. An insult far too heavy to bare apparently. And second when a mod decided I had baited someone else in to breaking the rules. I myself broke zero rules, nor did I bait a person into commenting that I was a “jackass” but it all just goes on the pile of “why /r/politics is trash”.
I mean it’s a weird hill to die on. I’d rather spend my time vilifying actual villians for their actual villianous actions and beliefs than pick on RBG for wanting to serve to her death as supreme court justices often do.
Her serving to her death, very literally resulted in the heavy bias towards conservative viewpoints on the SC. She was adamant that Hillary Clinton would win and the first woman president would select her replacement. Now that shouldn’t have been a hill to die on when so much was at stake.
Weird to lay it all on her shoulders instead of the stupid voting system and republicans who actually stacked the court🤷♀️
The country will suffer because of the idiotic system, and because half of it are hateful, inbred fuckheads.
