due to the rolling blackout... I think it's had its effect.

I think I am done with reddit.

it's a shame because as someone who doesn't use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don't get online.

I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit.

anyway, I'm just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?

I found a home in Reddit when Digg v4 happened. After many years, I wound up deleting my Reddit account and using it 100% anonymously as a pure consumption content aggregator. I'm here on kbin now and restarting my engagement with the content. It feels fun again! I just wish we had a catchy name like Digg v4 to call this Reddit exodus.

As an aside I didn't consume Reddit at all during the blackouts in solidarity even as an anonymous consumer, but when I returned it was full of trash and Reddit quadrupled down on their shitty position so I deleted the apps and have added all the Reddit owned domains to my pinhole alongside Facebook/Meta, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

If there is archived content I need to access for support or finding advice, I'll be using the fediverse and archive.org from now on.
