"Rocked" ... notice it's in past tense.

I requested my data (because your regular comments page only goes up to 1k comments) and replaced all my data with something semi-negative (generated by ChatGPT, because I'm lazy like that).

I really should just delete my account, but I somewhat still like the programming subreddit - about the last bastion that hasn't completely gone to shit over the years.

I left Reddit to call their bluff. I stay away from Reddit because I want to help grow the fediverse. It's already better than when I joined. And I believe, perhaps naively, that it will continue to get better. I'd rather be the part of the beginning of something great than lingure around as a great thing rots.

Reddit is just like Digg to me now.
