For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

    Going to sound sad but I’m a more than a bit bummed.

    Outside my family and my job, reddit and the community was a massive social outlet for me. I don’t have as much contact with friends any more and being part of some of the communities there made it not so bad.

      I feel you - reddit was my daily staple for more than 15 years. Can’t remember exactly, since my account is 15 years, but I browsed without it for a long while before that. And I will miss it, dearly. I’m super sad and angry that spez and the rest of his merry band of morons decided to screw it up this bad. I’ll miss some local communities, some gaming ones, some silly video ones, and just the general feeling that any time I go to the bathroom there’s going to be tons of new content for me to browse through.

      Sure this place will grow too, I’m sure of it, but it will take a lot of time. It’s pretty damn hard to change my habits after 15 years - RiF is my most used app BY FAR, and I’m super sad to see it die like this…
