Buttflapper@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoWhere are they going though…? We don’t have many more users here on Lemmy so…
They probably weren’t in a huge hurry to be mods anywhere else after spending all those years working for free only to see all that hard work sold off to fill Steve Huffman’s pockets and their website destroyed by corporate greed.
I imagine a lot of them just decided to do something else after all that
That’s exactly what happened for me. I used to be a mod for a bunch of subreddits (including some fairly popular ones) but I realized I just didn’t really enjoy it anymore. Which is a shame because I’ve started and maintained a lot of communities over the years but being a Reddit mod just killed that for me.

I’d assume a lot of people just don’t participate as much as they used to, even if they still use Reddit, and other people probably just gave it up or use other traditional social media instead 🤷♂️

Yup I admitted that I use Facebook and people are angry about it up above. Oh well
