    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.

      Mods spent countless hours on building those communities. They still care too much to just leave. There’s still some hope left I guess.

      That’s basically what /interestingasfuck is doing. Anything goes within global rules.

      If they don’t mod it the admins will take it away and install new bootlicker mods who’ll bend the knee, they’ve already said as much.
