Reddit is not what it ought to be. It's overwhelming toxic environment just ruins what could have been a great forum. But it is what it is and for that reason, I'm out.
Going back at this point would be like returning to an abusive partner and thinking that the relationship could actually be better this time.
And I'm sure the new mods being installed will have an even stronger alignment with Reddit's philosophy and direction which will only make life in that place more hellish.
I'm glad I jumped ship when I did.
