I've been cutting myself off of Reddit pretty heavily. Only a few informative subs remain for me. I've actually had moments where I was about to visit reddit and remember oh that place sucks. Breaking habits can be difficult.
I had a 7-8 year old account on Reddit. About a week before the mass bannings (talk about impeccable timing) the weight of how shitty the site had become and how much time I'd wasted on it finally dawned on me, and I immediately deleted my account.
My only regret was not nuking my comments before my deletion.
Even so, I almost found myself instinctively typing that URL in at times, then having to stop myself; an almost decade long habit is hard to break.
And the sad part is, in theory it's a decent platform that allows for approachable integration of all manner of interests. It does suck not accessing some of the more neutral, enjoyable subreddits (most subs related to lifting and fitness, for example, since they weren't really touched by the ideologues, because leftism inherently doesn't support self-improvement and personal responsibility), but it's too cancerous to support even the otherwise passable elements any longer.
