I posted a few weeks ago about how I didn’t feel like quitting reddit just yet. and, honestly, I still have a hard time not opening my phone every five minutes to check it.

but I decided to quit because I realized how much of a negative echo chamber it was. I couldn’t even mute certain words on the reddit app so I had to keep seeing the same shit over and over again in the popular feed.

it’ll be a long road moving from one platform to another, but I’m pretty satisfied not being strangled by reddit’s overwhelming snark and negativity.

dunno if anyone here feels a similar way, but felt like sharing my thoughts.

    For me the final thing was ubiquitous CCP propaganda and gaslighting even in non political subreddits

    There is something very bad happening on the web and I hesitate to think about future consequences. We really need to get that EU army up and running pronto der Leyen.
