I’ll go back for specific things like I’d go to any website looking for a solution for an issue after googling.

I’m not browsing Reddit anymore. Place is cancer. Even before all this API stuff I was over the nfts, the unimaginative meta humor, the predictable and repetitive nature of every top comment, the puns, the thirsty comments every time someone looks somewhat attractive, the hostility, etc. Reddit feels like I’m reading chatgpt now.

I’ll miss the smaller subreddits. Hopefully they’ll come soon. That’s where interesting conversations occurred.

I don’t know when I’ll delete my account. I have a lot of “saved” items I don’t want to lose yet. If I don’t find myself using those saves after a bit I’ll delete everything.

Completely agree. I’ve hated the site for years because of all the crap they were adding to the new site, and how the larger subs were everything wrong with the internet, but there was nowhere else like it if you wanted community-based social media rather than individual user-based. Glad I can finally leave without looking back
