Good on you.
I walked away from my sole moderatorship as well, but I think my contribution was considerably less significant than yours... I moderated a tiny all-but-dead niche interest sub where I was also basically the only poster.
That's, like, no difference whatsoever from what I do here. So I just upped sticks and moved to Lemmy, with no noticeable change in my life or workflow.
Glad to hear you stepped away, it is not worth letting them exploit your labor for their personal profits. Reddit changed a lot since 2016 and not for the better. They should be forced to cut checks for community leaders or hire an internal mod team at this point, but too many rubes are willing to mod for free. Of course reddit is more then happy to let them warm the seats and increase their value.
Offering you a bucket of moral support. Congratulations on your latest big step to fully joining the Fediverse! Every little bit of time and energy you can provide is appreciated.
Congrats!
Still recommend it for anyone still giving Reddit shareholders free labor
EDIT: This confused me a lot at first, but now I get it, the "it" is you recommend others to quit too. First I read "it" as "reddit", meaning you still recommend reddit.
Anyways, I hope you find value in moving on, and will be happy with your decision in the long run.
Oh you meant subreddit, not community. Yeah fuck that shit hole, not worth your time
I never understood the point of place and why it made people become so evil.
deleting my my account solidarity and just something i keep meaning to get around to
It's heavy to give up on something after 8 years but power to you for sticking to your guns, your energy will be far better spent elsewhere.
Sorry to hear about your experience, hope you I'll have a better time here
and if you leave and abandoned that sub by delete your account. admin just need to find a new mod on that sub
Someone should put Reddit's stock price graph on r/place.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
