due to the rolling blackout… I think it’s had its effect.
I think I am done with reddit.
it’s a shame because as someone who doesn’t use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don’t get online.
I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit.
anyway, I’m just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?
I have zero want to go back to reddit. This is what I hoped and wished for in reddit. Something I didn’t know I wanted till I found it. I don’t need a corporation getting involved with my human interactions. I’ve found the people who have switched are generally more intelligent too as a bonus. The content is just icing on top of thought provoking comments for me. That’s not really reddits forte. All the people who wrote nice comments are probably here now.
Reddit is a glorified search engine now. It’s a closed system. If I need something specific, I may stumble upon it, but I will not interact. I haven’t even had to do that all week. Maybe I never did need to do any of that.
I want to cut out the middle man and get to the point. I want to push the boundaries of thought. I don’t know, but I’m enjoying it.
Same here, I deleted my 11yo account a few days ago - I’ve opened the site a few times out of habit but I closed it again. I’m quitting reddit like other people quit smoking.
There is no expectation of ever going back.
It’s all a very new experience and I feel I am better for it. Perhaps I’ll even try to cut my time down on here too. I always wanted to write a book, but for now, chopping it up with you all on here feels more useful or something lol.
