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.
Just looked it up: 11 years.
I was very proud of "my" sub over there (sole active mod and most consistent poster). 11K+ subscribers and personally acknowledged by the author of a recent book on the subject of our sub.
Something died in me just before and during the blackout. I haven't posted anything over there since, and of the 11K subscribers, it's possible NONE of them followed my migration to the Fediverse where I set up an equivalent "official" sublemmy.
Once you know what you know (at least for some of us), it's just not the same participating in that space any longer.
I keep an eye on the place out of respect to...something. (I feel like I cleaned the place up nicely, and really raised the level of discourse.)
I guess I was naive in the extreme to think that at least a couple of hundred of the faithful would follow me over here? I don't do it for the numbers, but there is something gratifying watching your community grow.
At this writing, the new sub has double-digit followers! ;-P
Sorry for your loss, I wish you to rebuild something that brings you as much pride as it did.
