This week I realized that I'm reading these "about Reddit" stories more as a spectator than an involved party anymore. I've moved on. Feels good not to care enough to care.

The nice thing about Reddit's self-defeating move is we don't have to do anything about it. It's self-defeating.

What's the difference between a favorite and a boost?

There are two communities that I'll stay on Reddit for, but my interest even in them is dying (and was dying even before this spez idiocy).

As for the other 80% of my participation on forums, I have liked what I'm seeing on the Reddit alternatives and I am likely going to get my cup filled there. So, for me, this whole shitshow has been a win and not a loss.
