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.

  • Can't quite recall how long I was on Reddit for, but I joined very early on. Maybe 14 or 15 years old, my account was? Reddit had been getting rubbish for years, possibly the last 6 or 7. I needed this push, and something about Lemmy reminds me of old Reddit. How it was in the early days. Yes, Lemmy does have some work to do, but I don't think it needs to be as popular as Reddit. Let people use other sites too. Way too much in-fighting and faux-drama on Reddit. Hopefully, Reddit traffic will be split between three or four sites. This may stop many of the stupid clashes.
