Tempting but the block page is helping remind me to stay mad at Reddit
You need a reminder?
Being mad at something costs energy, and I’d rather move on instead continuously giving Reddit that kind of respect and having it live rent-free in my head. Feels good.
That's fair. I can't say I spend much of my actual time being mad at Reddit. Just when it's brought up in many contexts. I invested over a decade of my life on Reddit and watched it slowly turn to shit while I accepted the sunk cost until the blackout last year when I finally figured out that it just wasn't worth it. I'm mad at myself too, but I'm mad at them for taking something that used to be great and enshittifying it for a chance at a big IPO, immediately after which spez sells half a million shares.
The whole thing was turned into a scheme to make spez and other executives rich (or richer anyway) at the IPO at the expense of Reddit. That's what makes me mad.
