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 am giving it the same treatment that the other social media sites get. No contributions, no direct access if I can avoid it, browser redirects to go through a libredit instance if I land on it.

The current mess made me realize that:

  1. WTF, reddit has like a billion users now? When did that happen? That's a good reason in itself to leave.
  2. I had an unhealthy relationship with the site. Feels liberating to leave behind my biggest online addiction.
