Why continue to mod it then? Let the place wreck itself with whatever nefarious modder shows up to do the dirty work.
It's hard to just quit something you've nurtured for years.
I was never a mod, but i was an avid reddit user for close to 15 years. It was a sad day when I deleted my accounts, and it wasn't a decision i made lightly.
Same, around 2008 was when I first discovered it and even with Lemmy as replacement it feels now like something is missing from my life. However, browsing Reddit and supporting spez with every second I spend there was the worst feeling, so this will have to do.
I have hope that lemmy/kbin can be the new reddit. I hope so. It seems to be getting a lot of users. I mean, kbin gained 10K users since yesterday morning
The number of users is a possible indicator, sure, but 100k lurkers produce less value for other users than a single ~~shitposter~~ ~~reposter~~ poster.
That is to say: How many posts per day does the average community get? Nobody goes to the Memes community for a sense of belonging. Gief memes plx.
16 years for me, and quitting Reddit was easy. They're killing rif, so in my mind they're killing Reddit. This shitshow is better observed than experienced, anyway.
