I disagreed with something they did two years ago so I deleted my account(s) banned them with my ad blocker and went on with my life. I don’t even remember what it was. Probably something about monetizing user content or how they treated mods.

All the time you get back from Reddit is time to live the other parts of your life. One downside is that my writing voice gets less practice, but the solution to that is easy. Just write.

writing practice can be gotten anywhere hahah, there are tonnes of discourse communities on other social media and even message boards.

I just lament being able to pop into something like r/homeappliances to ask for device troubleshooting advice, but its water under the bridge at this point
