      Same. Longest I’d gone without commenting on reddit for a decade straight is 3 days. Now the longest is…since July 1st and counting.

      • I said I would leave my just-turned 15-year-old account after June 30th, received a lot of fomo jibe, and have only been back when I’ve needed to update the social links of my profile with new Fediverse replacement accounts.

        Good riddance.

      I miss the toxicity. I miss the inside jokes… I miss shitty watercolours. I miss the gore. I miss the profound comments. I miss the extremely detailed and informative answers to the most rudiment question.

      Here is just: capitalism bad / Landlords suck / Linux / Chromium sux / Atheism

      Don’t get me wrong, I love these topics, but it’s just that…

      I found another website where I make my daily blog, but now I’m wasting even more time online…

        You’re in a meme community that’s hosted on an instance started by Marxist-leninists. Of course you’re going to see a lot of that. Have you tried to search for communities on other instances? I’m on Kbin, and this is one of many fediverse-wide communities I’m subscribed to from there. I don’t get the constant politics and circlejerking on some other instances.

          Yeah. I miss people arguing over unimportant stuff, like their life depends on it. I miss communities coming together to mass downvote companies like EA. And I miss letting out anger, knowing that the other user does the same.

    I was there for 12 years! Not that it’s a competition. It was a very weird transition at first.

    Then reddit admins use the time stone and all your comments are restored. You’ll need the GDPR stone to do it permanently.

    I’d rather edit every single post / comment to say “Fuck u/spez” but I don’t know how to use the API to do that and I don’t have the time to commit to that project :/

      9 years for me. I wiped my comment and post history, but didn’t delete it because all that does it take away any control you have if they decide to restore it.

    @balderdash9 9 year old account…gone. I can’t believe how much it took me to do that. The day after they started their new charges. I really held out hope that they would see reason, like Hasbro with the whole license issue. Shame. Goodbye Reddit. Burn in hell.

      The difference with the Hasbro D&D license though is the cliche “you are the product” quote. Hasbro needs to sell D&D products to the people who they upset, but Reddit only needs to sell impressions to advertisers who didn’t care about the API.

    made it all the way into r/ascension or whatever the 1 million karma club is called, only to find it was as vapid as the rest of Reddit.

    I got perma banned off of reddit for commenting on a sub that I had been banned from, and instead of them just not letting my comment post - they instead basically ban you for posting again.

    So if you get banned of a sub on reddit and forget because…who cares… You get yourself perma’d for ban evasion.

    I got banned from like a news sub for saying “surprise not everyone shares your political opinion, of course there’s dissent”.

    That’s when reddit for me went absolutely to shit. Just getting blacklisted by mods who are reading into everything.

      Yep. Bunch of echo chambers honestly. Mods will ban you literally for questioning the modding standards of certain communities. Which means only people who agree are allowed in; there’s no way to change the rules. Power hungry fucks.
