    I realized how much of a marketing cesspool Reddit has become once I left it. That along with the whole doom scrolling has been toxic to my mental health. So I am much better off without it.

    That said, the fediverse seems to be a little too small especially for niche topics. Plus the this world still needs some tool/interface to unify it and make it easier to use. I still go back reddit once in a while for those niche communities but I have logged out for the first time in a decade+ from reddit.

    I have started focusing on my hobbies more, the whole reddit fiasco has been a reminder that it is not just FB that is bad, it is everything including Reddit and in time possibly places like this if it grows.

      I remember joining reddit a few years back, and it was on the cusp of when it became a cesspool. I wouldn’t post often (Maybe twice a month), but every time the engagement became less and less useful. Kind like how stack overflow users can never actually give you a helpful answer, they only link to other vaguely related ones, Reddit became “Oh, it’s because x and y” to “Oh god you’re so fucking stupid it’s obviously Z”.

      And I just kinda dipped out to lurking on twitter, and then twitter became so god awful that I can’t even open the app without feeling like humanity lost its way.

      Anyways other than that Kbin has been doing me justice. I’ve never been more active on any other platform.
