still doesn’t change the annoying culture reddit has which is ultimately why I left.

“r/allthatisintresting” on popular posts be like:

“THE ULTIMATE CHILD MURDERER. Is sentenced to only one day in prison, judge says it’s fine enough punishment for murdering 900 kids”

“local man burned alive by the cartel dies in hospital”

what’s harmony OS?

no? because not every situation is black and white. I can’t just kill someone because they killed another human being. they could have a lot of reasons for killing someone, killing them doesn’t help anything.

I don’t really see a point from my perspective given how I can access everything short of facist communities.

I had this as a mindset too until recently. I think what helped me move was realizing that interacting with Reddit was incredibly low stakes and I was only going there for hobby and community reasons.

until I sort of realized that the negative outways the positive. it sort of happened recently where I was a mod of a subreddit and people kept acting like idiots after I took a break from the role, and I realized “realistically, nobody will ever actually give a shit about my efforts here.” and I took one look and left. I don’t really think I lost anything by leaving besides my year old account and 20k karma but, it’s superficial at the end of the day.

I have commitments, plus the community which I’m working on a game for I interact with is only on reddit primarily.

if I wasn’t a mod of a subreddit I’d consider deleting it entirely. definitely going to limit my use permanently after reading this, Fuck Elon.
