Because a lot of people who “left Reddit” can’t STFU about Reddit.

It's like a fresh break-up. I hate reddit. Reddit is so stupid. I swear I'm totally over reddit. You haven't seen reddit by any chance, have you? I mean, I totally don't care but how is reddit doing?

This is the most accurate description I’ve heard so far. Old habits die hard, and people naturally want to fall back into what they know.

It's basically me. I liked reddit. I do miss it and I do wonder about it but it was toxic to the point that I had to move on. So glad I met Lemmy.

I'm basically a bitter ex. I am curious to see my ex live a shitty life without me but I have moved on and although I wonder what could have been, I'm doing my best not to look back.

With all breakups, I'm sure given time it'll be better but it does give me a certain satisfaction to see my ex in the news, drunk and disorderly and riddled with issues.
