Deleted my account but make another just for ... (work-safe material, if you work in it). Maybe it actually hasn't changed due to the protest but it seems worse. Maybe it's just changed as those people moved to ... (if you don't use water cooling in your computer you would use)
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.
Reddit is just like Digg to me now.
im only on reddit for 1 single subreddit that is a very small community
"Rocked" ... notice it's in past tense.
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.
