Use it as a tool only. Hobbies, DIY and the like. It's no good for real discussion. They have an Atlantic Council member on their board. It's not a real place, just hordes of automatons with false consciousnesses. You might aswell walk into a stadium of rival sports fans and start arguing with them about how their club sucks. You're just going to annoy yourself.

I thought you were going to delete the whole website, you got me excited

yea every redditor should not exist

I left during the mass exodus, I miss very little. I recommend anyone divest themselves.

There were a couple small niche subs (like some of the hospitality subs I participated in or the dyson sphere program sub) I miss, but not enough to wade through the cesspool. There is about a 60% chance that any thread on that site, regardless of the original subject matter, will devolve to "Russia bad" or "China bad". Sprinkling of "Kim bad" if they find a way to discuss world leaders.

Deleted my old account and made a new one with the rule of not joining any remotely political or country related sub. It's a good enough side for hobby subs which is why I went to Reddit in the first place. Much better experience.

Deleting it is fine too of course.

I'm currently on my 2nd temp ban from Reddit for supporting Palestine lol

Ive seen the term alot but i still dont know what ultras are

I used to help with the 101 commie subreddits until one of the powermods banned me from all of them (yes one user was a mod of several subs).

I never posted anything particularly sectarian because I honestly didn’t have the energy to go beyond questions with unambiguous answers.

I’m pretty sure the thing I got banned for was saying that I don’t care if we call it socialism or communism; that both terms are quite old, so they can technically have definitions inconsistent with Marxism.

Anyway it was at that point I think I really gave up on reddit as a whole because I had no other purpose to be there.

I absolutely support leaving reddit, it will help your mental health for sure, the social media landscape is by and large a hazard to mental health.

What's FRSO?

I only occasionally look at political subreddits, I usually just look at stuff like music instead and even then, I'm accessing Reddit through Libreddit because I don't like the website at all

I only use reddit when I search online for recommendations or answers to questions (usually computer related). Otherwise, I am not really using my account anymore. Because of the reddit exodus, most lemmy instances are filled with extremely toxic people. It makes me a little sick to my stomach when observing or interacting with them. I am siloed into lemmygrad mostly, using other instances and social media to spread info for a socialist cause, even if I don't do it well sometimes. When I work with PSL, it's a breath of fresh air.

Awesome. That whole site is a low quality op

"Even the communist subs are filled with ultras and liberals"

Greetings, FRSO comrade! 🫡

Do it. I've never regretted deleting my reddit once.

You are >6 years late comrade. You should probably spend some time in re-education.
