At first I was sad about the changes, but I’m in the same boat. Starting with the blackout, I basically lost all interest contributing to Reddit again. I still read about things occasionally but I contribute very little.

I think this app shutdown was one of the best things to happen to my health though. Instead of wasting hours a day on Reddit, I now do sports or go on a run. I am fitter than I have been for years.

I haven’t even considered this. Most users on Reddit are lurkers. It doesn’t take many of us to make new communities worth visiting

that was my worry as well. Reddit is going to shit incredibly fast. Boot the mods and this is what we will get—a new, sitewide alt-right pipeline.

Let’s see the outcome.
