I just bit the bullet and created an account here after a couple days of lurking. I read that spez upped his asshole factor again, if that’s even possible, and my personal blackout is still ongoing. There’s some communities I miss but I think the universe was telling me to move on in its own way. I’d scroll for hours and hours, and I know that’s not good for me.
I’m trying this place out, along with Squabble. I’m taking a short period each morning(after the initial 2 days) to poke at any of my Reddit subs that are open, to see where they are and if there’s another blackout poll.(voted indefinite in two of those so far). Not sure how long I’m gonna keep poking in.
Apart from the interview he gave, was there other spez assholery?
The interview, the mod replacement threats, restoring users deleted comments. Probably some other stuff too by the time this is posted. I think he’s running for a guinness world record or something, biggest asshole of 2023.
I haven't severed ties completely but have unsubscribed from almost everything but a few fringe subreddits that haven't developed communities here yet. And I joined /r/redditalternatives and /r/modcoord during the blackout.
