The thing about leaving is that I don't know where I would go. As much as I much preferred the way Usenet clients worked the weak moderation made it untenable. Most of the competing sites are overrun with the neo-nazis that were kicked out of Reddit or topics are limited to whatever the news story of the day is. The ability to create long term communities around extremely niche topics is the strength of Reddit. Despite its slogan about being the front page of the Internet, Reddit's front page is almost completely worthless, and the people who chase after the front page are a detriment to the site.

Tried this as a kid. It didn't work because nobody in the vicinity knew anything about my hobbies or had any interest.

Do you visit family when you are sitting on the toilet?
