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’m loosely friendly with Lawrence from Sync. Same boat here
I’m not friends with either of them, never even met them, but I left for the same reason: it doesn’t have to be happening to me personally for me to realize I want no part of that shit. (That, and gleefully fucking over the accessibility users at the same time. Pick one.)
Either way,
I’m a simple man. I see Lebowski references, i upvote
Man, when I wrote that I was SO close to going with “This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps” (because that was the censors fucking the script in the ass) but then I thought, nah, too meta. Reading your comment makes me think I should have gone with it, lol. I too upvote Little Lebowski-isms in the wild.
