Did anyone else stop using reddit in June?

Life has been nice. I didn't realise how much the arguments there shaped my opinion of things until I stopped.

I did! I wasn't that invested in the whole situation. It just made me take stock and realize I'm better off doing almost any of my other interests.

Tangentially I quit yt a month ago and had a similar experience.

I patched my BaconReader to work despite the API change.

I saw that I could do that with apollo, after the habit was changed.

I haven't really bothered. Telegram has been a fantastic replacement. I'm connecting to human beings instead of posts now.

I stopped reading reddit over two years ago noticing how over politicised it was becoming. Slowly choking the life out of any decent conversation.

I stopped then too. I've also stopped using Twitter/X, FB, Insta and all walled gardens really.

Similar experience. I’m less anxious since leaving Reddit and it’s very nice. It was the last major social network I was on. I read a lot more now.

This is all I use now
