I'm staying. I like it here.

I agree. With the lovely people almost all over here, the Reddit DT lost its special magic. It was full of anger and angst.

The few times curiosity got the better of me I found a sea of angry posts... and the odd person cleaning out their cupboards or visiting a new cafe or something. I wish those people would drop by.

I agree, but I’m also worried it’s gonna like 5 people left.

I have a feeling that quite a few people aren't going back exclusively. I suspect a lot of us will do both for a bit and eventually come back here. The reddit bosses aren't going to give up easily.

Gotta be honest I could stand to see a few mods fall on the sword too. But I sort of expect reddit to bin it, it’s already not a place I really want to associate with.

I feel the same. It's sweet, chill and supportive like I always thought this kind of thing should be. On Reddit you'd find some nice people but too high a percentage of trolls.
