Maybe I just miss Reddit is Fun, not Reddit, but I still have RiF installed (I just can't delete it) and it still "works". I can't sign in or participate, but fuck I miss browsing everything. I've definitely replaced it with Kbin, but opening the RiF app just gives me sadness. Fuck spez.

I miss the golden days of reddit, like from when I first discovered it in 2011 to about 2015. It just seemed more possible to have in depth conversations around that time, discover new and exciting communities, and overall just feel good to be part of the community. As it basically started to replace all web communities, became more corporate, and as political discourse became more common and hostile, it started to become less and less enjoyable, but I continued to browse because by that time I had an addiction that to this day I'm still trying to kick.

kbin and lemmy sorta give me that feel I had for early reddit, and even though I still haven't fully kicked reddit, I do spend a lot more screen time here than I do on my reddit subs, and I barely browse their front page anymore. Overall, I think I just have an internet addiction that I need to manage overall, but at the very least kbin is giving me some of the highs I used to enjoy with reddit.
