how many of you have genuinely ditched reddit? (aussie.zone)

due to the rolling blackout... I think it's had its effect.

I think I am done with reddit.

it's a shame because as someone who doesn't use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don't get online.

I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit.

anyway, I'm just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?

Obligatory"not from /r/Brisbane".

I only used a couple of smaller, specific interest subs. One has essentially shutdown permanently while the other remains up and will likely continue unaffected. However 99% of my time spent on reddit over the years has been through third party apps. Since none of my problems with the official reddit app have been, or will be, addressed and I am uninterested in desktop or mobile browsing, the changes ultimately mean that I will no longer have any way of accessing reddit. So yes, I am done with the platform.

I personally don't think it's a big deal. Before reddit I was a regular in several smaller forum communities and I greatly preferred it. Everyone there was genuinely interested in the shared interest or the community built around it. You didn't get these random normies chiming in with their braindead opinions and then disappearing never to be heard from again.
