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.
15 years, reddit gold charter member, Secret Santa, all that stuff. And longer than 15 really, if you count the browsing I did before I made my account (I remember before subreddits were even a thing, when reddit was literally just a front page).
Still visit on desktop sometimes because unfortunately some people will probably never leave and there are communities that are useful to me that haven’t migrated. Same with with Twitter, which is frustrating to no end because they spend half of their time complaining about the site but never actually fucking leave.
My mobile usage is completely gone though. I used RIF for over a decade, I’m not using anything else.

Are you me? This is exactly where I’m at. 15+ years with the same trophy list as you. I still use desktop for a couple of communities but my mobile use died with RiF (Golden Platinum).
