I left reddit bc the very users that came to reddit pushed all the stuff that made it cool out. Conspiracy was big stuff when I used to go, but the userbase started to defend the corperations and mock conspiracies as if they where fake. Also all the real users got banned for daring to say anything against the norm.

my life would be substantially better if i never joined reddit in the first place

This is just the evolution of forums, ngl. We've moved from dislocated hobby groups to a consolidated place where anyone can find the forum they need, to realising the problem with pure consolidation.

I'm glad to see genuine and honest posts. Seems to be a lack of robots (for the time being).

I am too. I really hope they at least make a compromise to allow third-party apps to function. I have spent years on Reddit, and I find it enjoyable for the most part. The amount of information on that site is incredible too. If it continues down the Twitter road it will be sorely missed.

Eh, I've left other sites. Reddit has been going downhill for years.

You're using it.

I remember Digg before Reddit.

I've been trying to encourage people and the communities I care about on Reddit to bridge to another social network for a decade. I am so, so happy it is finally happening.
