I realized I interacted / posted / commented less and less on reddit these last couple of years. Couldn't even tell you why exactly. Now I've been here for a week and, I don't know, I just like interacting again... Hope it stays like this for a while :)

It was pretty clear to me, that's why I stopped going.

It was getting toxic a long while back, but I was ok with that -- I just deleted my account every few months so I wouldn't get doxxed. But then I started to realize 2 things: First, many subreddits wouldn't even let you post without a minimum amount of karma. Second, many subreddits would downvote you into oblivion for any sort of wrongthink.

Don't get me wrong, I know I'm a wierdo and I have some bad takes sometimes, but you put bad takes out there to put them in the fire and then you get to see they're bad or you hammer them until they're good. But in the echo chamber, there was only one answer: Obey.

So I left for greener pastures.
