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.

I had the habit to delete my Reddit account after a few months. I couldn't care less about history of posts, likes and so on. So I had a few dozen Reddit accounts over the past years. What strikes me is how easily the "funnel" starts to build up. In the first week you get a fresh view on how Reddit is really like, a few days later you are pulsing with like minded people, amplifying the opinions.

Reddit is still a great source for "how to", but you don't an account for that...

Yep. Was on reddit since like 2012 or 2013. Site was so different and a lot better back then. You subbed to a specific sub, you saw the shit you wanted to see. Now everything is completely overrun with politics and they're banning people for absolutely no reason.
