    They’ve lost their reputation. Their actions over the past few weeks have soured at least a portion of their most die-hard users who generate the content for the site.

    I myself was an avid user visiting daily and contributing/helping newbies multiple times a day answering the same questions and guiding them in the right direction. That all stopped - I haven’t been on the site since the blackout started. I even blocked reddit at the router level so I don’t accidentally visit the site.

    I’ve since found two other social media platforms (kbin social and squabbles) to scratch my itch for social interactions. I won’t miss reddit - it’s not the old reddit it used to be a decade ago.

    Maybe when the dust settles I’ll return to lurk reddit and laugh at the sh!t show it’s become, but I won’t return in the capacity I did before

      Yeah, this is not the same Reddit from 11 years ago when I joined. I have been lurking, however I haven’t posted anything since the blackout. As I started scrubbing my history today, I realized my cake day is on the 26th of June. I plan on quitting then.

      So long, thanks for all the fish.
