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.

12 years here. The day apollo died is the day I stopped logging into reddit.

And it is really hard. That was my default go to free time app. I spent AT LEAST 4 hours A DAY on reddit for most of those 12 years.

Its hard. But on the other hand that site disgusses me now.

Funny, it was hard for me too... for about three days. Now it feels fine just doing Lemmy.

Yeah, just muscle memory was there to go to reddit for about a week. I still kind of lament how easy it was to type "redd" with my left hand and the click it on the url bar.
