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 get the frustration of a shadow ban, I got permanently suspended and I have no idea why. The only option I had was to appeal the decision but I didn’t even know what I was appealing. Turns out it didn’t matter. When I asked for more information on the suspension I just got a bot response of “we’ve read your appeal and we are sticking to our decision.” So I said fuck it and left. Deleted the app and haven’t been back in 2 months.
I got perma suspension when I had like 2 or 4 comments all of them non-contolroversial and in programming topics no reason given, too
Appealed with basically ‘wut?’ and got unsuspended, maybe it would have been better to never be unsuspended, cause I’d left Reddit earlier then ¯_(ツ)_/¯
