I was on Reddit for 13 years! It still trips me out that Reddit was such a constant to me for so long. I learned SO much there over the years, and while I do still miss a few communities, I also know that leaving was the wise choice.
I took a peek over there the other day and the comment sections being dominated by tired puns that add nothing to the conversation and all the bots are worse than ever. I'm much happier not being there anymore, but it's definitely bittersweet!
Yep, that's exactly how I feel too and you said it beautifully! I've been through this with a handful of platforms at this point and somehow it never feels any less bittersweet, :').
