I never really cared about upvotes and downvotes, but I liked that my comments and participation meant something to someone at one time or another. I liked that when I posted a comment or asked a question people could look through my post history to learn more about me and answer accordingly. More than anything I miss my saved posts and comments and enjoyed going back to read through what was important or funny to me at a particular moment in time. I don't have close friends or any family that lives within 1,000 miles so the connections I made through Reddit meant something.

I'm grieving.

I started the grieving process once RIF announced it'd be shutting down, but it actually felt good nuking the history of my 7-year-old 99k/190k account before deleting it.

Fuck spez, the future is in the fediverse.
