Not one of my usual rants, this time. I just…
It still amazes me how toxic Reddit is. Sure, it’s anonymous, but so is this place, and yet we manage to largely keep it civil, most of the time…
Even in small subs (geographical in particular, but also sports), though, Reddit is just… Fucking vile. Utter hostility on all sides.
And yet, it is still one of the most popular sites on the internet, especially amongst the demographic I “belong to” (white, male, under 30)…
How very fucking sad that is.
Yeah, that’s all I wanted to say.
Glad we got “off” that shithole, even if I stupidly still keep going back to that awful, awful site/place.
Maybe I won’t, after the last couple of weeks.
It’s honestly just extra-shit, anonymous Facebook, now, with the demographics and woke virtue signalling of Twitter and all the simping of Tumblr (and Twitter, of course)…
Oh, yeah, I already did that with Twitter (semi-accidentally. I lost my account, there, and never made another one), and then Facebook.
If I can quit Facebook cold turkey (I was horrendously attached to that place), and Instagram, except the occasional logged-out public “lurk”, and also Tinder, which is the one I wasted the most time on (and the reason I had kept the other two active, for ages), for… More than a year, now (18 months for Tinder), then I should be able to do Reddit, too, lol…
And probably here, too, eventually.
I just need to properly focus that same energy and time elsewhere (because it just went Tinder >> Facebook >> Text >> Reddit >> Here), but I’ll get there, I hope!
Self-improvement is my big thing, so… It’s not that I don’t want to do this. I’m just… Someone who struggles with motivation and “willpower” at the best of times, and right now… This very much ain’t the best of times, by any stretch, in my own life, lol…
