Boost was Reddit for me

I’m witnessing a slow death of my beloved RIF. If they’re killing it, I’m going down with that ship. I think spez solidified my choice with the Q&A.

I went back to see who was participating in the blackout and who wasn’t. A lot of subreddits aren’t that I had followed. I have been slowly but surely unsubcribing from all subreddits that still have posts barring things like the Ukraine subreddit where it’s obviously really important for that one to still be active.

Once all that is done… I’m not going to have a reason to go back. I think this is the best way. I may salvage some of my old posts and repost them here where relevant. Then deactivate my account forever.

I don’t agree with the direction of the internet. I think I need to practice what I preach and this in my opinion is the right way to go about it.

API changes will probably kill Relay. Even if they don’t, want to quit out of principal (principle?).

Anyway, nice to meet y’all. Hope this takes off.

Baconreader or bust

I left Reddit after the hypocrisy coming from the leadership at Reddit and with their decisions. After the AMA from Spez, it was the final nail in the coffin for my decision to leave Reddit, instead of taking accountability and owning up to their mistakes, they had completely attempted to justify their actions and seeing the developers’ work go down the drain was heartbreaking, and I stand in solidarity with them. Even though I might be some minor spec to the entirety of Reddit, I still feel it’s important to stand up for the community, even if it doesn’t matter to them.
