    For me, the realization of how toxic Reddit can be combined with how lost in the crowd I felt was enough. I enjoy the smaller feel to the communities and that I can actually have a conversation instead of getting buried in comments was just the right combo.

      Heh, on Reddit, I just avoided the larger subs. r/gaming was the worst gaming sub (aside from subs for free competitive games that are playable by children)

        I’m curious how the Counter Strike subreddit was. It wasn’t that bad I don’t think a long time ago, before Reddit was as large as it became, and also before it was free. Now that Reddit is a hell-hole and the game is free, is the subreddit horrible too? I’d imagine it is, but I’d expect it to lean a little toward older audiences than the other games, so there’s a chance it’s fine.

      The moment they announced increasing censorship was what did it for me, basically it was the ‘It’s only a matter of time before I get banned on here so I might as well nuke my account while I’m still ahead’ realization when that went down.

      Even just reading Reddit without an account sucks because Redlib is always getting blocked.
