RIF was part of my life for a decade. It’s crazy how emotional this experience has been. It feels like losing a home, a community, everything because some fuckface won’t find a compromise.
How about “Ruck Feddit”?
I have been full time remote since the pandemic and I know I’m in the minority when I say it’s terrible. I don’t have much social contact. I used to be able to walk over and directly talk things out with coworkers, shoot the shit, ask for a hand with stuff but it’s gone. I smoke more weed, fuck off about the same amount but it’s the lack of socialization since the pandemic that’s killing me. I don’t have much in the way of friends or family. I’m single, broke and just isolated as all hell. It’s so hard to keep track of time or the days because nothing changes. It’s hard to have a clear work/home divide when there’s nothing to really denote it. My office and my studio apartment are the same place so the only real breaks are when I go wandering around aimlessly outside.
I mean I hate my job and the work I do so that doesn’t help but I’m losing my mind over here because of the isolation.
Ya know, I have been asking myself that for two weeks now I have learned that over time I have completely lost sight of having passions, deep interests and stuff. I guess it’s time to try to rediscover those things because it’s hard to get out of bed in the morning.
I keep saying it but this is more emotional than I would have thought. It’s an end to an era. And RIF and the other apps helped us all connect, laugh, cry, vent, argue, meme and stuff together. The app devs were as much responsible for the success and entertainment of reddit as reddit itself. It’s a weird.
