Maybe I just miss Reddit is Fun, not Reddit, but I still have RiF installed (I just can’t delete it) and it still “works”. I can’t sign in or participate, but fuck I miss browsing everything. I’ve definitely replaced it with Kbin, but opening the RiF app just gives me sadness. Fuck spez.

    I miss what it was. But it’s dead now, and there’s a corpse walking around in its skin, and when I’m away from here and among others who haven’t made the switch, I feel like the only person at the party who noticed there’s a slimy CEO in an ill-fitting snoo suit pretending to be our friend (sometimes).

    Like any other dead thing, I can’t bring it back, so I have to move on.

    I notice I’m more productive now. That’s nice.

    I was an active redditor for 15 years. I don’t miss the platform, because kbin and Lemmy are far superior, but I do miss the volume of subreddits and activity. Maybe we will never have that here, but I’m not going back to that shithole.

    I was there 17 years. Can’t say I miss it, but I do lament it. The community there helped change my life in some very significant ways. But it became glaringly obvious that the administration have little to no appreciation or respect for their users. I’ve been enjoying watching them scramble to re-engage lost value in their IPO. I will only return to participate on r/place … whether that’s thru the void or a “Fuck u/spez” … they will get my traffic for that.
