This reddit limbo land is quite irritating.
That to me sounds like a limbo, because the sub is only partially usable but it has not fully returned to normal, and we don't know when it will end.
I'm still active a bit on the trans au server, but I'm sort of done with the melbourne sub too. I hope this place sticks around for at least a while until I'm still going on this bit of the journey.
Most of my favourite people are here, a shame to lose some of them, but I'm reading more from people I never replied to before and that kind of makes up for it. Also - getting the users to post the dt is quaint and a bit cool really.
We probably have a cream for that somewhere around here. If irritation persists, please seek the assistance of a medical professional.
Cream......get on top....
I had a double CD with this song as the first track... Some classic tracks
What a throwback mixed track cd!!

I feel like the community’s been broken up. I also feel some sadness and, I must be honest, a little anger. Instead of being in one place we’ve become divided, with some at Reddit and some here, some on discord and others forming new breakaway Reddit subs. I do like the vibe here better, it is definitely much nicer and more supportive in my opinion. Maybe it’s all the anger I've seen recently over there, or maybe I’m wary because a handful of people just closed the sub without any consideration for the users and it could happen again. Maybe I'm a bit tiddly and feeling melancholy. I’m definitely here to stay, but I miss what it used to be as well. We had a great thing and they broke it.
I do feel a little sad at it all. I had no illusions about the reality of Rdt, but kind of felt like it summed up human nature, the good, the bad and ugly of it all. What feels a little uncomfortable to me is the current viciousness of it all? I can understand if ppl are unhappy with how things have been handled (mod-wise), but some of the vitriol is just... I don't know. From the whole API drama to, well, I don't think being a mod is easy either. I don't think there is any good answer. I've seen posts spouting about the spirit of Rdt, but you really can't separate the two as if it's not somewhat tainted. I don't know. I'm kind of just rambling at this point, but the feeling is kind of visceral for me.
