I added most of the navigation panels and message inbox stuff to ublock origin and only look at my provincial and municipal subreddits for information that might harm me if I'm unaware of it. Deleted my last account.

But yeah, the API lockdown was the final nail in the coffin. I was getting banned a lot for not aligning with status quo enforcement already. I saw a front page subreddit successfully ban bots and saw their traffic crater into bedrock instantly which was extremely disturbing. Combination of things.
