I used to post things sparingly on Reddit because my username was the same as the one I used on Twitter, where I had over 100,000 followers before the pandemic. I never shared anything personal about myself, considering that some people followed me only to insult me if the meme I had created mocked something they idolized.

I abandoned my Twitter account years ago, and some toxic followers followed me to Reddit. The changes in the API have finally convinced me to leave that past and username behind, and start completely from scratch to be able to talk about anything.
