Is it okay that I now view the reddit thing as noise?

Oh, don’t worry: I value people saying “hey you dick” when people are being a dick. I totally respect people who protest things (although, ranting hillbillies blocking ambulances because trump told them to be afraid of the most tested vaccine on the planet, and somehow it’s the ambulance’s fault, can all die choking and alone with a tube down their throat and go straight to hell) and I support people having a sane voice that is heard.

No, I’m done with Reddit. I’ve accidentally clicked on a link twice in the last 2-3 weeks and found myself on the site, but that’s it. I uninstalled R.I.F, removed the bookmark, walked away, stuck to it. I don’t intend to go back even as often as I go back to Metafilter (because I respect metafilter). I just don’t think abusers will change their tune; that while criminals can be rehabilitated, dicks cannot. And I’m okay not participating, not adding content that will just encourage others to stay.

Rule 5: even the worst problems look better in the rearview.

Bye, Felici–uh, Reddit.
