Like many many many refugees I’m gone with RIFs death. But still with old.reddit found myself still going back to the site on my PC with a holiday weekend.
I know I"m definitely not the oldest, but like a friend of mine and I talked, 9 years of communities, of friends, of stories for nearly a decade just got soured in a month.
So I’m here now, and admit I’m kinda lost. But hoping this is a new day.
Thank you RIF. You were singularly the most used app on my phone. You will be missed.
I’ve ended up on reddit for some search results over the weekend, but thankfully some of the subs are still private, so that is helping me break that habit.
I uninstalled RIF when reddit said they wouldn’t back down. I’d already shredded my posts and comments.
I’ve been on reddit since the digg exodus, and I’m fine walking away from reddit over this. Reddit, too, shall pass.
I’m going to focus on fostering and contributing to good communities here and elsewhere. Reddit doesn’t have a monopoly on our communities - we built them in spite of the actions of Huffman et al.
